LOL! Think we'll progress further than the group stage? We will have a better idea after the Sweden tonight. If we don't win comprehensively tonight then we don't deserve to.

LOL! Think we'll progress further than the group stage? Nah . Having said that though . Englands performance wasn`t that bad against France . If they do, that will be it . They will have to play a half decent team . I can see it now . Burning efegy`s of Rooney and blaming the entire campaign on him, Man Utd , David Beckhem and the man who`s sells hot dogs on Sir Matt Busby way . It wont be the fault of the F. A. That so called organisation that "runs" English football . When I have an hour or so I will go into the reason why England will never win the Euro . World or any cup ever again . My opinion of course . Latest News . Carroll`s playing ! Skirmishies have broken out between England and Sweden fans ! I can`t decide which is dissapointing

Well . It`s all over there`s some players on the pitch sobbing . It`s must be those England players who are on over 200 grand a week to kick a ball into a very large net at the end of a field . From 12 yards ! Jesus on a donkey , bless em . it is a tough job . Imagine you being on that money every week and turn to your boss . "Nah I don`t fancy running into that burning building and saving someones life !" You get my drift . If I played Football 7 days a week I`m sure I could manage it
I guess Ash And Ash will get a Pizza advert like the rest of those useless numpties that can`t score from 12 yards . In other countries they would be shot !
As I said in my last post ( you have read hav`nt you ?) . That I will tell you why England will never win a cup again . Yep . We did win it once with a home advantage a dodgy goal and the brilliant Pele got kicked to death by Portugal every time he went near a ball and that was really that for Brazil to win yet another World Cup with one of the greatest players of our time . As you may now have sussed I am not an England fan as such , well not at all . At a tender age of 8 I started to play football as in those days is that or .. Well that was it for a lad from a working class area . That same year I saw the 1970 world Cup and watched a Team from Brazil play the beautiful game . That was it for me , I was hooked and thats how I would spend the rest of my life trying to play Football that way , even today when I see the highlights of that Final , I still get a lump in my throat . 4 years later I was sat on the metal fence evey other week in the Stretford End watching Manchester United .
So what has this to do with England not able to win a trophy ? And what do I know ?. I hear you saying . Well I think I have a opinion , and a good one why it`s never going to happen . So then . I will start with my favourite subject on Football
F.A.
It stands for what England win . I guess Now I have an idea of how to get a job at this place . It goes something like this .
"I would like a job at the F.A. please ?"
What do you know about the English game , grassroots , have you ever thought of how go about the job with your soul intent on making the English game the best in the world ?"
"No.I just want to get free tickets and line my pockets with loads of money , not put it into Football communities , Schools or anything that will help our next Football generations to play football the way it should be ."
"You have got the job!"
Now , you may say Thats not how it`s run !, how do you know ? . Erm . I do . I have not got the time or the skill at typing to put them all down . But then All I have to do is put down what England have done almost 50 years . Thats right folks . Nothing .
Ok here is one for you . Who was without doubt a brilliant English coach who won the league with Derby County and Notts Forest , 2 clubs that were just a little bit better that Man City before the Arabs turned up 2 European cups ! Spoke his mind about the F.A and without doubt the best man manager of his generation . Every English man in the country wanted him as Englands manager Brain Clough . Did he get the job ? No . The F.A didn`t want to hear the truth about how they didnt have a clue about the job they were in .
So as long as the greedy corperate numpties at the F.A. are running our nations game England will never win a Peanut .
To be continued .

When we got to the penalty stage, I was actually hoping we lost because I really didn't want to see England completely humiliated by Germany in the semi-final... which they absolutely would have been!

At least you have won it Bobber in the last few decades Also your players can string a few passes together. Englands best passer of the ball the other night ? The Goalkeeper . Spot on there Al , England would have had another lesson off the Germans . Players And Managers Back In the day in the School yard your dream was to one day play for England . Nothing else came close (except for me it was Man Utd ) To be proud to wear the shirt for your country Those days have long gone . It`s all about getting a better Magazine deal on the wedding of the bimbo you met on some crap T,V, sports comedy (?) show . Even better a great boot deal and get yourself on the latest X Box Int. Football game . Players have for some strange reason think they are better than the club and now even Int. Team they play for (check out Bobbers Holland ) There are many examples down the last few years . Remember Alan Shearer and his tackle on Neil Lennon . Got away with it as apparently he said "Ban me and I wont play for England Neh Neh Na Neh Neh !" Not the kind of spirit you want in the dressing room . As for Managers ! Well I have a few stories that will make want to support Ireland . Remember Sven ( like you would ever forget ) We are going to a world cup ! Right need some goal scorers Owen ( injured) Take Him ! Rooney !(injured) Take Him ! Wallcott ! (Not even played 1 single game in the Prem ) Take Him ! Heskey anyone ? Scary isnt it .Sometimes you really think that the F.A stick a hell of a lot of money on England going out in the Quarters . Kevin Keegan ? Not enough that he had a breakdown live on National T.V. ( I Loved It !) The F.A. wanted him as the man who will lead England to lower depths on Football sucicide. Oh yeh sorry Capello A racist captain anyone and not one to be shy of going with your team mates Wags .(allegedly) Bye Bye Fabio .

Agree Brian Clough should have got the job - no doubt about that.
I have told myself for years not to get too bothered about England. I know they aren't going to win a tournament, but i found myself watching the game in an Italian restaurant - with about 30 Italians and 5 English - and sitting through the game , drinking loads of beer and being on the edge of my seat going through agony once again.
They give it plenty of "Italia,Italia "and we gave it plenty of "No surrender " etc
At the end of the game after an Italian chap threw their flag on our table, we shook hands in sporting fashion and sulked off home.
I don't know whats the answer - but somehow we need to produce midfield players confident and capable enough of keeping the ball - over to the F.A !!!!

Someone in the FA needs to get a set off balls. There seems to be too much hope placed in the likes of Rooney who clearly is incapable of performing for his country. He hasn't performed well in any of the major tournaments he's been in. It seems that he has to play more so because of mechandising reasons and celebrity status rather than a player who can play for his country. It's not just Rooney but it makes my point.
On the domestic football front I am a neutral so can someone please explain to me why an England squad comprised of premier league players who play on a weekly basis, being paid shed loads of cash in a league that is supposed to be the best in the world cannot compete with the top footballing nations?
Yes, Brian Clough would have made a great manager.

Van Persie is a traitor & has shown no loyalty what so ever.Arsenal are a great club of which he was club captain.Arsenal paid his wages whilst he was injured for most of the seven years he was there. It proves footballers are selfish & only in it for the money. Peace to all You'll never walk alone

I know I`m biased but . The way he was looking at it was that he`s coming to the end of his career and not a lot of trophies to show for it . Arsenal have become a selling club , just look at those who have gone to City . Not a team that has ambitions I thought he would have gone to City for the money . But he has gone to Utd and I think that has shown that he is not a mercenary .
Loyalty is a thing of the past in todays game . Thanks to Jimmy Hill and Sky and Agents

I'm from Scotland and I'd be interested to view everyones opinion on the subject of Rangers. (I'm a season ticket holder). I'm curious as to how people are thinking on the situation.

I think it's a crying shame what's happened to Rangers. How could this happen to one of Britains biggest clubs.I feel so sorry for all the supporters.Its not their fault they,ve done nothing wrong.but it's them who have to pay for the boards shortcomings. They'll be back stronger & better than before.The younger players will carrier them through.
