Ah yes, Jamie Carragher - the man who retired from international football twice because he couldn't get in the team.
Carragher said this in his autobiography: "I confess: defeats wearing an England shirt never hurt me in the same way as losing with my club. I wasn't caring or indifferent, I simply didn't put England's fortunes at the top of my priority list. "Losing felt like a disappointment rather than a calamity. I was never in love with playing for England in the first place. By the time I stopped I felt a huge weight lifting." I wonder how many of the current squad hold similar sentiments. I suspect too many

That's a pretty damning way to talk about people you've presumably never met and have no personal experience of beyond contractually obligated soundbites at the end of matches.
Maybe a case of people most hate in others what they hate in themselves?

Just reactionary anger I think. Kind of like an elaboration of "useless fucking twats" but seemingly more cerebral

Just quoting Carragher, who presumably knows how these things work, the bubble the players are in. Seems a good enough explanation of why an entire team disintegrated en masse at the same time.

So Gareth Southgate doesn't fancy it then, and who can blame him? Arsene Wenger and his fellow countryman, Larry White, now seem to be in the spotlight. Oh, how Reg would love that! Would be a headline writer's dream, though, eg "Wen are we going to get it right?", "England forwards still firing blancs", etc.

To be fair hasn't he played with half of them.

90%? Which is probably about the same % as fans who prefer club success over international success, myself included

I saw Laurent Blanc was named on some FB thing. Are we likely to go down the foreign route again after Capello and Sven?

We need a manager who can galvanise a team, the last in my opinion being el Tel. Keegan tried but was tactically inept, Glenn was tactically astute but lacking in empathy for those who didn't share his values, which included at the time the faith non-healing Eileen Drury. Eddie Howe would get my vote as the best English prospect, supported by Alan Shearer. Otherwise it's down the foreign manager route again and probably Mr Wenger.

I'd support Howe - if only for the possibility it may fuck up Muff.
I'm a hateful old Hector.

I stuck a tenner on Allardyce at 8/1 a couple of days after we went out. Think it's his time and could be exactly what those players need

Apparently Roberto Mancini has expressed an interest....I'd rather have Allardyce Just read that Bielsa has quit the Lazio job after 2 days....now that would be fun if next England boss
