I'm not quite sure what the situation is with players being paid to pay for their country.
My thinking is that they are still paid by their club as usual.
The FA would then I think have to re-imburse the club for the duration that their player is away with the international squad, even if that is "out of season" for the clubs.
Players may then receive additional bonuses from the FA if we go particularly far in the tournament.
I think......
So ultimately the FA would be picking up the cost.
Southgate however strikes me as a totally reasonable chap, and would rather have a happy player even if it means the FA losing out financially. |

I think we can build a team around Downes, and signing him could be transformational for our hopes of having a good season.
Obviously we would still need players in a number of other key positions, but he would be such a brilliant signing that I would be prepared to sacrifice KWP (who I hugely admire) to get him in. |

Apologies if previously posted.
Fabrizio Romano is rarely wrong on these things thoughā¦..

You do realise how many games will be shown live each weekend?
Saturday 3pm kick-offs will be at most 50% of games on average in the Prem.
Even in the Championship there will be far more live games than last season. |

Itās almost as if people have forgotten that SKY and TNT can ensure that games are conveniently played on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
A non-story. |

What with Neil Warnock living near Plymouth, their decision to appoint Rooney verged on insane. |

Leicester and Forest arenāt that fussed with each other.
Forest have a far bigger rivalry with Derby.
Alan Ball did alright at Saints, if memory servesā¦.. |

Guten Abend.
A home game against Goztepe would have about as much appeal as a cup of cold sick.
Valenciennes away may get the juices flowing a bit moreā¦ā¦ |

Guten morgen from Cologne. It is hot here.
HedgeEnd61, if you fancy meeting up for a beer, should be in Rathausplatz from around 2pm.
Loads of bars there.
Will probably be pretty close to the Gilden im Zims near one of entrances to the Fan Zone; think there will be a few Saints there. |

We were due to be flying back yesterday lunchtime from Amsterdam to Birmingham, but the flight was cancelled.
Have been put on replacement flight for this morning to Paris, then on to Birmingham.
Pretty much sums up our shitshow of a week with public transport.
Trains have been disastrous across Holland and Germany; so many cancellations. |

Wharton is the best option to play alongside Rice.
Keeps it simple.
We could have done with Jordan Henderson of 3 or 4 years ago yesterday; he would have given us more control in midfield.
The pitch was also abysmal yesterday BTW. Southgate would have made more sense blaming that yesterday than lamenting the loss of Kalvin Phillips. |

Guten Tag.
Southgate was getting absolute pelters from pretty much everyone stood near me during the second-half.
But then if Fodenās shot in the second-half goes in rather than hits the post, everyone is celebrating again.
I have always defended Southgate; his record is outstanding with England, and beaten only by Ramsey.
However, the tippy tappy stuff at the back seems to be creeping in, and his substitutions are becoming ever more bizarre.
Taking Foden off yesterday was madness.
And the Alexander-Arnold experiment has to end, and Wharton should be brought in. |

Havenāt seen a single Skate shirt or flag out here at either of our first two games, pleasingly. [Post edited 21 Jun 12:27]

No mate, I havenāt seen Hedge End Saint out here.
Have seen plenty of Saints out here, we have got quite a few out here.
As ever with England, the majority of fans seem to be Northerners and from the Midlands. |
