Southgate and Brooking will join forces for this months game apparently
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...t-England-postNewcastle boss Alan Pardew has ruled himself out of the running for the England job, saying the national post is not for him.
The Magpies coach has been touted as one of those the Football Association may turn to in the wake of Fabio Capello's decision to walk away from the job.
Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp remains the firm favourite to be handed the reins, but Pardew is considered to be an up-and-coming coach who could lead the Three Lions into a brighter future.
The work he has overseen at Newcastle has not gone unnoticed, with the club currently pushing hard for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Pardew considers his efforts on Tyneside to be a work in progress, though, and insists he has no plans to turn his back on the club any time soon.
He is flattered to be among those mentioned as possible candidates for the England job, but has made it clear that he will not be throwing his hat into the ring.
Proud
"Firstly as an Englishman, I am proud to be in that sort of frame, but it's not for me and I will make that quite clear," Pardew told Sky Sports News HD.
"I am not even in the running as far as I am concerned.
"I am very happy here at Newcastle. It's a little project here that's going really well and I want to see it through.
"The passion and everything about this place is why I want to stay here.
"I do hope it goes to an Englishman, just on a personal level. I think that's important this time. I really hope Harry and Spurs and everybody sorts themselves out and can do it in a manner that it works for everybody."
Candidates
"(West Brom manager) Roy Hodgson would have an opportunity and (West Ham boss) Sam (Allardyce) possibly - they are at the right age and right experience to do that role.
"Probably outside of them, there aren't too many leading candidates.
"There are a lot of young English coaches coming through, thank goodness, especially in the Championship, and I think we will be better set perhaps the next time (the job) comes around.
"But this time, there is an outstanding candidate in Harry and I just hope it all works out and it can be done in a manner that works for both Tottenham and England."
That process could take some time, but Pardew would be comfortable for England to head into a friendly clash with Holland at Wembley on 29th February without having appointed their new boss.
He said: "You have got Trevor Brooking, Gareth Southgate and Stuart Pearce there - I don't see any problem in them taking that game, and I think that would be correct because even if the job is going to go down one road, let's say, Harry needs some time to settle himself and have some respect for Tottenham as well."
When did they ever rule him in lol
http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...ing-of-EnglandHarry Redknapp insists he has 'not even thought' about the England job and is fully focused on Tottenham amid heavy speculation linking him with the vacant post.
Redknappis the clear frontrunner to succeed Fabio Capello
in the role following the Italian's resignation on Wednesday evening, with players and pundits alike backing him for the job.
Capello stepped down just hours after the Spurs boss was cleared of all charges following a two-week tax evasion trial.
Speculation has surfaced Redknapp could take over England on a part-time basis to allow him to see out the campaign with Tottenham before taking full charge in the summer ahead of the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine.
But Redknapp is keeping quiet on the prospect of him assuming the role, insisting he is concentrating solely on his current club, who are flying high in the Premier League and host Newcastleat White Hart Lane this weekend.
Focus
"I don't know anything about the England job. I've not even thought about it," he told Sky Sports News on Thursday morning.
"I've got a job to do, I've got a big game on Saturday with Tottenham. Tottenham is my focus.
"They've been fantastic to me, the Tottenham people. The fans last week at the Wigan game, it was incredible the reception they gave me.
"It wouldn't be right to them to focus on anything else but Tottenham. My only interest is Tottenham Hotspur.
"They (the Football Association) will make whatever decision they want to make and hopefully it will be the right decision for the country."
Capello, who had previously said he would quit in the summer after the Euros, stepped down after making it clear he was unhappy with the FA's decision to strip John Terryof the England captaincy without his consent.
Redknapp admits his resignation came as a surprise, adding: "I was shocked. I was surprised. I didn't expect that to happen. We knew he was going to leave in the summer but I didn't expect it to happen now."
Move on
The Spurs boss is keen to move on after being cleared of the charges against him on Wednesday - a case he is adamant should never have gone to trial.
"It was a case that never should have been brought to court in the first place to be honest with you," he said.
"Mr Levy gave me the job three years ago and he looked at it before he appointed me. He realised it was a case that had no substance to it otherwise he wouldn't have given me the job at Tottenham.
"It's past us now and we look forward and look to the future."
Pearce in charge for the Holland game, confimed.
It wouldn't surprise me if they kept him for the Euros and got Harry after.
[QUOTE=Marc Overmars;98131]Pearce in charge for the Holland game, confimed.

Would make sense not too sure about 'arry though.
Twitchy's stock has risen with every game we've lost.
He's not a top manager.
