Its like giving your wean pocket money for doing stuff around the house but they don't actually do anything for it 😂
It's hilarious that Gareth Southgate Badger had a knighthood for winning nothing both as a player and a manager
These honours are irrelevant now…even the Khan the worst London Mayor in history got one.
This i why English Fooball is in the condition it is.
Rewarding the wrong people.
Southgate stole a living for 8 years. Wasted a generation of talent and is rewarded with a knighthood!😂
Sums up everything that’s wrong with this country. Embarrassing
If he’s got any self respect left, he’ll turn it down
absolute joke, scam. what a joke to end the year off, absolute catastrophy.
😂😂
Disgraceful.
Wow. What did I miss? Why is he getting the knighthood?
Rewarding failure since 1966
Not after what he did to Palmer😔
That's pathetic getting a knigthood for losing 2 final in a row and zero trophies for England🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I'm still flabbergasted about this and I'm Australian
Knighted for just playing horribly at every tournament yet he got to the final 😂
Why not.. 😂
Still no Sinfield…….
A Knighthood has lost all of its worth after it has been given to Sadiq Khan …..
Why knighthood Gareth Southgate 🙄🤔👎🥱😴
Will be made a Lord….after managing manchester united…and taking them to national league north.
Well done Gareth, being entertaining losers is now the standard.
Yes all the trophies he won as England manager…Wait ? What a joke !!
Now England is dishing out OBEs for failure. Now he has only to take Manchester United to the Championship to be Lord.
Premier league owners are gonna line up to hire Gareth Southgate now. 😂
Typical honours list, reward for being a loser what next Siddiq Khant?
Wtf? He won nothing and was a crap manager. Laughable
Knighthood for consistent failure as a manager & player for his country lmao
Keeley Hodgkinson’s face just annoys me.
I bloody said it !!! I said it months ago it would happen, theyre offering sadiq khan one so in all honesty they should consider hue Edwards at this point
Is that for being a yes man part of the curupt click
Classic British mentality, rewarding failure. This is the exact reason they have won one trophy since time began, and that was with very shady refereeing.
Gareth bloody Southgate haha what an absolute joke
Absolutely incredible that a “manager” who has won ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, even at club level, can be given a KNIGHTHOOD!
Also considering the fact that during his time as England’s head coach, they were boring to watch and moderately successful.
If you look at Sir Alex Ferguson’s achievements in club football, which are the greatest of all time, you can then understand why he was knighted, but a buffoon like Southgate is a complete joke!
I would NEVER address him as a Sir.
Knighted for being second,would rather Becks get the honour.A true Brit
Hes a crawler.
All those working in a charity for 30 years putting 1000s of hours in each year for nothing , no rewards – deserve them
Those MP's and celebs & stars who get them for doing there jobs are BS ,
They make the awards worthless and de-valued !!!!
I have respect for Gareth Southgate but I think he shouldn’t have been knighted.
What if another manager actually wins something? Wouldn't it look bad for southgate?
