England are the new Bolton. The players looked like they'd just been introduced before kick off. No final ball. No attacking ideas other than hoofing the ball into the penalty area. A squad that's nowhere near as good as the fans think.

I gave up on the national side after the last European Championship and am very pleased that I did so. 'Pride, Passion, Belief', it said on the advertising hoardings before Euro 2004. The team had none of those things and it still doesn't.

Obviously McClaren needs to go, but the buffoons who appointed should do as well. They'll remain in situ.

Just what I was thinking whilst watching it. A lack of creativity, shambolic defending. The only thing that differentiated them was the rather dodgy penalty they won - Wanderers would never have been awarded that! Indeed, I suspect on Saturday that Anelka could be rugby tackled in the area and then have his head staved in with baseball bats, and we still wouldn't get a penalty, unless the filth were 4-0 up. But that's another moan.
The thing that makes it worse, though, is that England, on paper, should be so much better than Bolton. Who would you prefer: Richards or Hunt? Gerrard or Speed? Lampard or Nolan? Campbell or Meite? Carson or Jaaskelainen....no, hang on, that's a bad example...

BTW did anyone else notice when, just before half time they did a close up of the bench obviously showing the standby players who were all chatting and joking with each other without a care in the world not even aware there was a game on? Only David Beckham was sat on the edge of his seat looking concerned and actually paying any attention to the match. Bunch of fooking wankers the rest of them.

was trying to persuade my mates it was like watching bolton.

slow on the counter
poor set plays
defenders uninterested
richards jogging back when an attacker was breezing down his flank

The Football Association is to hold a board meeting on Thursday at 0830 GMT to discuss Steve McClaren's future.
After his side failed to qualify for Euro 2008, McClaren insisted he would not resign as England coach.

Retiring and throwing your toys out of the pram because you're not picked in your favourite position?

Well seeing as he's retired from international football after being fecked around for many a year I don't think he'll be thinking that at all...

perhaps when he's retired and someone has put his dummy back in his pram he'll sit there and think "feck, i could have been that hero motty was on about" instead of that prancing pony campbell

Is he a better centre back than either of Terry or Ferdinand at their best?
