So excited for this world cup as with all world cups and will watch almost every game. Gets better when England go out so I can relax and stop dreaming. Does anyone know 1. Who does the best wall-chart (bigger the better)? 2. Which retailers/brands are doing WC2018 promotions / campaigns (been buying WC footie tat since 1986 and you can make decent money on ebay)? Wallchart - got to be When Saturday Comes.

Jamaal Lascelles has had a good season captaining Newcastle and must be close to a call up. In fact I'd be tempted to swap him for Gary Cahill in my squad.

Looks like Tarkowski and maybe Livermore are on the plane.

I make the squad looking something like this by reading through the lines of all the rumours.:
Goalkeepers Butland Pickford Pope
Defenders Trippier Walker Maguire Stones Jones Rose Young
Midfielders Delph Henderson Dier Lingard Alli Loftus-Cheek Lallana Livermore Sterling
Strikers Kane Vardy Rashford Welbeck

I would take just one of either Young and Delph, as both are rather similar, and include Sessegnon instead. Livermore? Christ, there is probably a long list of players that should replace him. Welbeck? - Doesn't bring anything to the party does he. Seriously, I'd prefer Ashley Barnes, or Lookman, who has been scoring in the Bundesliga this season. Jones? - Hell no. One of the Burnley boys should be in there. Just look at their defensive record this season!

Makes no difference what players we take, Southgate is as inspirational as beige custard.
Best we can hope for is an early exit and a new manager.

I think it's because Southgate is going for three at the back, with two wingbacks. Alexander-Arnold only really fits if we play a flat back four. With Walker and Trippier in the squad, if we do revert to a flat back four then Walker is the obvious right back with Trippier as cover. Unfortunately, with that in mind there is no place for him.

He's cut from the same cloth as Southgate, and he hasn't done too badly has he? Got to give the bloke a chance before you can criticize him eh ?

In which case I'd imagine either a midfielder or Welbeck will be left out for him.
