Re: How long can we survive at this level ? What is our level ?
We have spent more time in this league than any other in our history. There is no natural level. Its nonsense. When we got to The Championship under Stan, people thought that was above our level. Just because we had recently been in the doldrums. And because there were the likes of Forest, Sheffiel...

Some great suggestions- inspired to see Cornwall as an adult, when back in England. Top 5 for me:
Torres del Paine, Chilean Patagonia.
Cusco, Peru.
Rio, Brazil
Queenstown, New Zealand.

Re: England vs Nigeria
Definitely appears biased. It's not a straightforward call for Southgate. Pope has been brilliant for us but his weakness with his feet has to be taken into account by Southgate. To be fair he has tried to assemble his squad based on form and it's right that Pope is in it. As Taio says. Very biased.
