More importantly, we're only going to realise how good Milner is and has been once he has finally retired.

He's been one of my favourite players for ages. He's work work work, massively underrated talent. True pro.

You know I sure it was about 5 years ago it was only captains that were supposed to approach the referee to discuss on field incidents, I think it is about time they started handing out more cards when players surround refs or get aggressive. I would also enforce the managers boxes more stringently as well as the managers.

He will be a shoe in. Did well in the U21s, you see.
2 ways to get in the England squad, be a right back or have played well ~5 years ago.
Have to say he looked like he knew it was coming, all the way through the match he just looked... resigned.

'Whatever we do, it won't be enough' - Henderson on Qatar World Cup concerns
England and Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson talks to 5 Live Breakfast about human rights issues surrounding the Qatar World Cup.

Does it smack a little bit of "I was only following orders"?
I agree with Hendo tbh, but the "it's not us who decides" doesn't really wash if you're not prepared to put your own participation on the line.

Reports of his demise have often been exaggerated, but if he's sacked at the start of the World Cup I'd suggest the decision was made some time ago. As a fan I'm not too fussed about him either way. Maybe some fresh ideas will keep us up, but a change of management isn't going to make our strikers stop missing sitters or our defenders making stupid decisions. I'm not an XG merchant but today we lost 4-1 and our XG was 1.7 and Newcastle's was 0.8 which is shocking.
