I'm like, really torn about this Gareth Southgate thing 
. On one hand, I get what he's saying about unity being more important than, you know, flags or whatever. It's like, we're all human beings at the end of the day, and we should be focusing on our shared experiences rather than what sets us apart. But then again, the flag thing is a big deal for some people, especially if they feel it's being waved around in a way that's exclusive or aggressive 
.
I mean, I remember watching England games with my mates and we'd all be singing "Three Lions" together, feeling like we were part of something bigger than ourselves
. It was cool, you know? But at the same time, I get why Southgate would want to encourage people to focus on what brings us together rather than what divides us.
It's funny because Gary Neville is all about this "negative" display of the flag thing, but what if it's just a symbol of something that means a lot to people? Like, for some folks, the St George's flag is a way of showing pride and belonging
. You can't just erase that from people's minds or feelings, you know?
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's all about finding a balance between unity and...well, being proud of who we are
. Make sense?

. As someone who's seen their fair share of community spirit through England football, I can see how the St George's flag can be perceived as divisive. It's not just about the flag itself, but also the emotions and associations that come with it 
. I'm all for celebrating English culture, but maybe we need to take a step back and focus on what really unites us - our shared values, history, and sense of community
