Alex McCarthy in England squad

I'm hoping that, like Ward-Prowse, he will one day get at least a few minutes on the pitch for England because I love ramming this down Pompey fans' throats, when they start going on about their 'history' and being a 'big club':

Wilson scores

Given how the league works, I will assume that is him sold by the summer....... or is that just what happens at saints?

 

I’ve said before that Bournemouth will be ‘best of the rest’, lose a couple of key players and hit the slippery slope down. Wilson will be the first out I suspect.

We had the same at world cup until Croatia but everyone will get all excited again..
To be fair we have some cracking options now. Sancho, lingard, kane, Ali, sterling, rashford, Loftus-cheek, barkley and possibly foden in a year or two. There can't be many better attacking lineups in international football.

West Ham didn't have to sell Payet

Stoke didn't have to sell Arnautovic

Tottenham didn't have to sell Modric

Arsenal didn't have to sell Van Persie

Chelsea didn't have to sell Courtois

Watford didn't have to sell Richarlison.

Bournemouth didn't have to sell Richie

Newcastle didn't have to sell Sissoko

Yep. Just Saints.

Has anyone in the PL ever sold a whole spine in one window though?

Shaw, Lallana, Lovren and Lambert?

Or even Mane, Wanyama and Pelle in one window in 2016?

 

Only club I can think of doing something like that is Monaco and Dortmund (but both outside the PL)

Errrrr the win in Spain and draw in Croatia?

They appear to bode well for a young team in transition

I like the fact Southgate has a system and is building a team rather than pick a bunch of past it top 5 team players

I am actually watching England again having got bored with them over the ladt 20 years

England's biggest win since the 66 Cup Final. Wonderful game and a magical moment for the entire country!!

 

I was at the game today. It's the best atmosphere I've seen for an England game at Wembley since 2013 when we qualified for the World Cup Finals by beating Poland and beat Scotland 3-2 with that Rickie Lambert goal. It really was a great game.

I agree, the Nations League format has actually been quite exciting, but surely this is a bit tongue in cheek?

 

Of course he was joking but this really was one of the best England games I've been to for decades. A few months ago people might have scoffed at this suggestion but we were watching a competitive game played between two of the best teams in the world and England won it. There haven't been many occasions when we could say that.

 

This England squad and manager are really capturing the public's imagination. Apart from the Nations League finals in Portugal next summer, we also have the 2020 European Championships to look forward to and the final and semi-finals are at Wembley.
