Haha. Yes. Same here. I agree with that. I have no idea when I would be going there again. Its been a while since I could act like a little kid.

Yes same. Made a point of focussing mainly on the theme parks because who knows when I'll be able to visit again. Love being a little kid again for the weekend.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

I know you will. You all give you all. Unless there are reasons why you can't. I am looking forward to seeing you here. The training is going great at the moment. You know what it is like.

i'll definitely giving it me all and if that's enough to make the squad, i'm going to be so fucking thrilled to represent england again. i'm heading to a friend's wedding but then i'll be at the camp and ready to show you all i got. how's them training going, gaffer?

[garethsouthgate-hf]

I know. But as I said, there are people in the squad that have had that happen too but they are still in it. As you have aid, you are going to try your best. I know you do. What you up to at the moment?

i was injured and missed games. plus sat on the bench quite a bit but happy to get a chance to try me best and to see if i've got it. love playing for england and if i'm needed, you know i'll be doing me best to help the team.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

It is. You have a point though. Just pick the best from the ones you have. Haha. Not that I would have much time for the next while to do that.

yeah. when you're swamped, sometimes sleep is the best escape. having a long list of recommendations isn't a bad problem to have. you can always pick the ones that stand out the most or go with whatever matches your mood.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Yeah, if a player misses a goal or something, then usually some of the fans will put the blame on that person. Even though they know not every kick is going to equal a goal. When it comes to me, they always find some reason to blame me. Haha. I wouldn't be surprised if they Euros go our way and England win, there will still be fans saying that I shouldn't be manager. Thats how it is sometimes. That is all that counts.

oof, that has to be a bad spot to be put in. especially when it's not your fault. well, especially when it's no ones fault but someone has to take the blame. that's what counts in the end, right? doing what you love.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Why are you surprised? There is probably a few people who are in the squad who haven't had the best of seasons. Then again, there is also a couple I know people were surprised about that didn't make the squad that they were expecting to be there. You know I can't tell you because I don't know myself yet. Not until the upcoming games anyway.

yo, gaffa. have to say was a little surprised about getting picked for the practice squad, especially since me season wasn't the greatest. i know you can't be telling people yet if they've been cut from the euros squad but if it's me getting the chop, no hard feelings, yeah. / @garethsouthgate-hf

I know what you mean. But whenever something goes wrong with a game, it is usually the manager who has the blame. Even when the game goes well too. I'm used to it now. But I am doing the job because I love it.

true but they should have faith in you, that you are going do what's best for the team you work with constantly. i can't even imagine how hard that has to be for you.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

It really was. Oh...all the stuff people would get up to at Disney. You?

The trip was pretty good, yeah. Nice get away. What did you get up too?

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Sometimes pretending to be other people is easier to deal with things than when you are not doing that.

That's valid. I've never done either, I just get told what to do and pretend to be other people.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

I knew you wouldn't miss them. Haha. Enjoying the trip?

Of course I will — as if I'd miss the games. Got to be supporting from wherever I'm at.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Once you are used to it, it is easier than it seems to people who aren't. Enjoying Disney so far?

There ye go. Of course, nae clue how they manage to keep up with all that. I love football, but I get a stitch after 20 minutes playing.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

How are you enjoying Disney so far? Its been quite some time since I was last here. It must have been when my children were little and they are in their 20s now. Who knows, probably jealous that I am here and they aren't though. I think I have lost count of how often I have seen you here and their lately. Ted Lasso, obviously. And I may have been watching the Olivier's for obvious reasons.

You would think that. But then again, everyone has their own idea of who they thing would be the best team to start a game. It is just I am the one who gets to make that choice.

you would think they'd want that too. for you to pick the best choices to win the game. some people just enjoy to hear themselves talk and can't find anything positive, no matter how much their words and actions harm someone else.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Hi. It is great to meet you too, Chloe. I'm Gareth. Oh, I am just looking forward to it all. I can't even remember the last time I was at Disney. Probably when my children were kids. Now they are in their 20s so that shows how long ago. How about you? What are you looking forward to?

Hey roomie! Nice to meet ya, I'm Chloe. Anything you're looking forward to most this weekend? I dunno 'bout you but I love visiting Disney, it's been a while since I've been to this one though. @garethsouthgate-hf

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Always make the most of the time off. I was about to say that I hope you will be watching. Haha.

I think so, or I hope so too. Got to make most of the time off right — it's not every day we get the freedom like this. But I'll be watching of course.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

I know you would. Sounds like you are going to be going to some great places, even if you haven't decided where yet.

You know I'd rather be at the Euro's with you lot, but yeah, relax some. Starting to plan up some destinations to visit and the stuff for a time off.

[garethsouthgate-hf]

Neither an I. Then again, I have only ever played or managed so that is my excuse.

I don't think I can think of anything that quite compares.
