Talk:Gareth Southgate/Archive 1

Untitled
I think this needs to be perhaps updated with less bias. 05/05/04 Ele. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.164.126.16 (talk • contribs) 12:14, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

'most' famous?
I think it's hardly fair to say Southgate is 'most' famous for his penalty miss in 1996, or indeed to mention that in the introduction to the piece. He's an established defender and one of the most consistent players of the last 10 or so years; to instantly link him with that one moment seems unfair to all his achievements across his career. And there's no bias inherent here; I'm a Man Utd fan from Dublin. Just thought I'd point it out, is all. NaLaochra 12:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I completely agree. Not familiar with Southgate's career yet the opening paragraph comes across as unfair and resentful to me. Even checked if it wasn't vandalism, but the sentence was added six months ago already. Very odd. Still, the opening paragraph is a whole lot less biased than the first version of this article. Maybe England fans are just bitter people. (Kidding!) Igorrr 18:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I removed the reference on the basis that it is unverifiable and thus NPOV. I also cleaned up the article and added headings. NaLaochra 04:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Answering the door to the postman
Did Southgate actually answer the door to the postman naked? This keeps getting removed, re-added, removed, re-added, ad infinitum and I've no idea any more whether it is true or false. --Simmo676 17:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, sure. Rip it out it is basically vandalism. Off2riorob (talk) 20:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC)removed. Off2riorob (talk) 20:54, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Palace cup stats
Southgate played numerous games in both competitions during his time at Palace. Therefore these stats need to be updated as the totals are incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.167.131.46 (talk) 13:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Bias and positive spin
I question the neutrality of this article. Esp the intro. is a compendium of achievements rather than a neutral summary. Why is the fact that he was relegated with Middlesbrough not mentioned? Plus there are several other quotes etc throughout e.g. Arsene Wenger quote about being potential England manager which do not have relevance for that section but are included to create positive spin. 2.84.16.237 (talk) 09:15, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Gareth Southgate
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Gareth Southgate's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Profile": From Harry Kane:  From Steve McClaren: "Rock solid Steve" – BBC Sport profile, 4 May 2006 From Kieron Dyer:  From Lennie Lawrence:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:27, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect Information?
Under 'UEFA Euro 2020' currently reads "to reach the semi-finals of a major competition for only the fifth time" The reference (currently ref 90) to the Guardian article, actually (at time of writing at least) contains the phrase "Only five times previously have England got this far at a major tournament" therefore (assuming major competition/tournament refers only to World Cup and Euros) this is in fact the 6th time. [WC66 EU68 WC90 EU96 WC18 EU20] Albeit recognising that the 'finals' phase of EU68 were only made up of semi-finals, 3PPO and final.

Also assuming we are not counting Nations League as a 'major championship', not yet at least.

Propose to change this to 'for only the sixth time' - and hoping this does not count as original research so much as rephrasing what is said in the source 'only five times previously'. Nodrog75 (talk) 11:56, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
