yeah mean if people are going to criticise gareth southgate over his it will be he is what fourth tournaments got is great but. one thing he's got is got a great spirit and we saw that in the first half it's evolving. let's let's let's say that but yeah they substitutes were a bit late i thought yesterday we brought phil foden on then took off again because of sending off. it was all a bit of sending off. it was all a bit of a little bit muddled. so you know, the jury is certainly out with about how we can manage in game and if we can get that right, there's no question at all. but england squad is as good as . anybody in europe. good as. anybody in europe. okay. and probably the world. yeah. angry irish, perhaps. feeling a bit bruised after , feeling a bit bruised after, being taken off when he nearly scored . mean should he have put scored. mean should he have put that the he have that in the net. he should have doneitin that in the net. he should have done it in ten times out of ten mark. yeah, but that would've been three half time. so been three and a half time. so but you know, the top

shock, omission , some may say, but omission, some may say, but gareth southgate is revealing his reasons comes in. but plenty more reaction, of course, to the budget after jeremy reaction, of course, to the budget afterjeremy hunt's budget after jeremy hunt's details being filled out. if, like in the red book today, all the various details with politicians and fund tax experts beating path to tv and radio studios to air their views. but do you make of the budget with just moody's finding out what you really think of what we've heard ? the battered read box . heard? the battered read box. it's the talk of the town as and punst it's the talk of the town as and pundits pick through the bones of jeremy hunt's budget bonanza. but away from westminster. are we talking about budget too? are talking about the budget is something is a massive has a massive impact to our business as a small local independent business. the budget has increased a lot of our prices that we've never had to experience before. but what have people been telling the people's channel? 30 hours a week of free childcare has

more than 60 years, but could gareth southgate's team be about to end that run ?ion. at the moment. it's about off field in naples and what the england could be facing there . it is. and during the there. it is. and during the league tie where napoli were involved at the same venue, there was trouble. unfortunately in the city and it a very difficult situation for police to deal with at the moment things are looking calm but fans have told to be cautious , have have told to be cautious, have travelled over there from the italian perspective they've made it that these are usually away fansin it that these are usually away fans in their perspective causing trouble rather than necessarily anything planned at the italian . but it's a volatile the italian. but it's a volatile situation . two sides to every situation. two sides to every story and police are on red alert. i think the only thing that different is being an international and even though there's rivalry between italy and england and there was also let's not forget very worrying scenes and crowd ahead of the

the way he's been playing the last person gareth southgate and england would want to do without is marcus an injury picked up in man united's fa cup game with fulham. he's scored more goals than any other european player since the world cup finished in december. newcastle keeper nick pope and chelsea's mason mount are also out. wales meanwhile preparing for life without some of their established names in their upcomig euro 2024 campaign. joe allen and captain gareth bale all retired after the world cup. old face but a new look for new captain aaron ramsey. there's so much excitement with some of the players that of playing at the highest level at the moment. you can definitely, you know, make their own history with this team and it's very exciting to be a part of this team when there's so much opportunity for us. scotland play on saturday too, meanwhile northern ireland will be without leicester defender jonny evans, he's out of tehir squad and will miss the start of their campaign with games against san marino and finland this month. england captain and most capped player sarah hunter ha
