As the quality of the opposition is in most cases below that of the Championship Jack should feel right at home.
(I should have read the article!)Erm, I pointed that out in the article lol
Large majority of the opposition England play are bloody farmers & labourers. Why would Jack need to prove himself against the likes of Burnley, Cardiff, Fulham etc to show that he can cut it against the mighty Montenegro?
Spot on. We should remember that ugo (in retrospect a Villa hero) left us to join Boro as did the new villan, Gareth Southgate. He left for much the same reason with Doug stifling any hope of rejoining the elite clubs. However,l agree that Southgate is a hypocrite with his double standards of choosing the new Chelsea boy wonder whilst Jack is deemed not pickable though any fool can see he is a special talentI'd be over the moon.
Not sure non-Villa Irish fans would be though. Problem is, international football is the be all and end all (as well as playing in the Champions League) for young players so from what Southgate has said unless he's playing with a Premier League badge on his sleeve it's a no go. So it doesn't matter if it's Huddersfield or Man City?
Stupid thing to say, and detrimental to young Championship players.
We once beat Yeovil 1-0When England start beating the likes of Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, France regularly at tournaments then I will be impressed. Until then, as the saying goes, the jury is out in this apparent good run of performances. We are flat track bullies.
Beating Montenegro etc is all very well but it's no different to villa beating much lower league opposition regularly. Wouldn't be impressed with that either .
