What a load of ball-cocks. How is he immature off the pitch, as opposed to, I dunno, Sterling smoking his hippy crack, fathering illegitimate children, and beating up girlfriends?

That ball tampering lad that just cried on the news. He’s 28. Still so much to learn about life and responsibility. Dele is 21.

so predictable and how long is it before they start on Kane.
I think its started already as the red tops are pushing for vardy to start before Kane also lingaard before Ali well all I can say is I hope the media manage to push all our players into the background so that they are fit and ready for the start of next season.You must always put the red top reporters intellect into perspective these are the people that at a crucial time in the World Cup qualifying came up with"the Wally with the brolly" also "turnip head Taylor" and these scumbag reporters say they are 100% behind Englands efforts which is patently bullshit as they are small brained scumbags

I think Southgate needs to grow up.
The sooner he realises he's not in charge of England, and that he will pick whoever the sponsors tell him to pick, the better.

This from the man who wore a paper bag over his head in a TV advert.

He's no more a leader of a National sporting team than Ron Manager.

He didn’t say it on the record but the story is clearly written as if they’ve been briefed by him or his people. If it’s not true, Southgate will no doubt issue a statement

Dele is young rather than immature
and England's brightest hope for years to come
and Spurs too hopefully.
Southgate doesn't have the experience or maturity himself
to adopt the arm round the shoulder fatherly approach.
He is a very lucky boy to be England manager
and should ignore the media agenda.
Genius is often difficult to handle for insecure managers.
