Trying to think who was stinking up the England team around this time. It's not long before Zlatan's ridiculous overhead kick.
Danny Rose, Ryan Shawcross, Carl Jenkinson.
Stockdale was the other keeper I think
There were only 2 keepers.
I'm a twit
Oh. What a retard.
I'm sure Cleverley was there.
The Welsh right back, that isn't Jazz Richards...
EDIT: Neil fucking something. Swansea.
Gunter.
Neil Taylor might be the full back JA is thinking of.

4 to go

Bertrand.
Did the Scotch FA refuse to allow any of their players to participate in that?
I think so. And Northern Ireland. I think even Wales wanted to stay away from it but once Bale and Ramsey said they wanted to go anyway, the Welsh FA didn't have a leg to stand on.
Yep. Always have been opposed as they think FIFA will then force them into folding into a UK national team.
Yes.
Doing better than I expected, and imo 2 of the last 3 are very easy.

Since you're missing a right back there and he fits the age I'm going to guess Kyle Walker.
Edit: seeing as Richards is there, maybe that was too early for Walker.

The SNP would have romped home in the Independence referendum if they used this. It's probably even got more truth to it than the Brexit bollocks we were sold by Boris.
Aaron Ramsey
Tomkins
Scott Sinclair
Ramsey already said but both of these are correct.
One man left.

Was Jack Wilshere fit for this?
He was not.

Cresswell
Jack Cork
Smalling
I feel like it’s got to be a midfielder looking at that squad list.
Cork isn’t a bad shout.
Well done.

We've seen a number of short managerial spells this season. Can you name the 40 managers that have lasted 20 games or less at a club in the Premier League?
This doesn't include managers who have spent time with a club getting promoted before being sacked/leaving early into the PL season, nor managers that joined a club mid-season and were relegated and continued in their role in the lower divisions.
De Boer.
Are we talking 20 league games here?
If not I'm amazed it's only 40.
Steve Wigley and Paul Sturrock.
Bob Bradley
I'm a twit
Tony Adams, Nathan Jones, Quique Sanchez Flores (I imagine there are a fuck load more Watford managers too) and the great Rene Mulensteen (spelling is wrong for sure).
Silva can't have lasted that long at Everton, and yeah, every Watford manager there has ever been.
Jacques Santini
Christian Gross
Luiz Felipe Scolari
Javi Gracia
Marco Silva
20 league games as a maximum. Some of the managers do appear twice on the list. De Boer is of course correct with the shortest reign (in terms of matches) of all at just 4.
Silva had over a season at Everton, 53 PL games to be exact. But he still makes the list thanks to his Hull stint. 18 games in charge before being snapped up by Watford in the summer.
Velimir Zajec (Portsmouth)
Roy Hodgson (Watford)
I'm going to say Philippe Troussier (Portsmouth) but it was probably some other Frenchman from that era
Stuart Gray (Southampton)
Javi Gracia (Leeds)
Javi Gracia (Watford)
Carlos Carvalhal (Swansea)
Terry Connor (Wolves)
Pepe Mel (West Brom)
I've also managed to come up with Paul Le Guen having a short and ill-fated stint at Blackburn, which, it turns out, was completely a figment of my imagination.
Were Man City in the PL when Steve Coppell had his two weeks there?
Just 11 games for Gracia this season.
There is a Frenchman who managed Portsmouth on the list but it's not Troussier. Gracia (to my surprise) actually lasted over 18 months in his stint in charge of Watford.
Good shout with Zajec, and Hodgson is one of a few managers who appear on the list more than once.
Alain Perrin for the Pompey one
Pardew at West Brom?
Nuno at Spurs
Avram Grant at Pompey maybe? Probably went to more massage parlours in that time than he oversaw matches.
Hodgson at Blackburn, back in the mists of time, must have been pretty short. Ditto didn't Steve Coppell have an incredibly short-lived return to Palace? Maybe even zero games.
Did Woy make it to 20 games at Liverpool?
Ranieri at Fulham
Hodgson was there for a couple of years I thought. Are you mixing him up with Brian Kidd perhaps? Who wasn't there very long.
Does King Kenny fixing Hodgson’s mess count?
I'm a twit
He must have done 20 games unless they both managed 19 games in a 38 game season [assuming Woy didn't make it to 20].
Shearer didn't last long did he? Or was he technically a caretaker?
Nuno with one of the shortest reigns, at just 10 games.
25 games for Grant at Portsmouth.
20 games exactly, that's his second appearance on the list.
I tried to blank this period out from my brain. Ranieri also makes another entry on the list.
Kidd was there for almost a season.
He would have done, but he stayed on for the entirety of the 2011/12 season.
They'd just been relegated to the First Division. Coppell only managed 6 games.
I've got him as a permanent manager, only 8 games in charge.
Was Les Reed full-time manager at Charlton?
Terry Venables (co-manager Middlesbrough, and then on his own at Leeds; two for one shot).
Howard Wilkinson (Sunderland).
Peter Reid (Leeds).
Eddie Gray (Leeds).
Iain Dowie (Charlton and Hull; two for one).
Les Reed (Charlton).
Ricky Sbragia (Sunderland).
Paul Ince (Blackburn).
Steve Kean (Blackburn).
Roy McFarland (another co-manager, Bolton).
Kevin Keegan (Newcastle, second spell, assuming they count).
Colin Todd (either as above, or at Derby; another two for one shot).
Chris Hutchings (replaced Jewell for a bit I recall at Bradford, then did the same at Wigan; two for one again).
Dave Bassett (I'm sure he was Leicester manager for a few months before going back to DoF).
Sam Allardyce (Newcastle).
Luiz Felipe Scolari (Chelsea).
