Well played Croatia Bilic for ENGLAND. Croatia were excellent. England were awful. Completely outplayed. Technically inferior. How many games do we need to realise Gerrard isn't international class. He isn't fit to lace Modric's boots which actually he couldn't have done tonight because he got nowh...

not going through would see the back of old redface and probably give the team a well deserved kick up the arse too. Sadly I doubt it, my equine chum. If they win it's their glory, if they lose it's the manager's fault. This is the kind of blame-free cosseted head-in-clouds existence which is encou...

Or pehaps when a certain Scouse midfielder who has in my opinion had about 15 good minutes on a pitch whilst playing for England and the rest of the time been anonymous at best is described as a "world class player" and we build a midfield to let him "play" . Hahaha, get a hold of yourself. How man...

Re: England at the Euros
Y'know, maybe we shouldn't bother. We're almost always utter wank at the Euros, because we don't have an Egypt or summat to warm up against and justify o'ervaulting ambition. France 60 did not enter Spain 64 knocked out in preliminary qualifying round by France Italy 68 qualified; knocked out in fi...

Cherry picking some of Europes best players with a virtually open ended chequebook for me does not make you a great manager! Got full-backs though, hasn't he? :wink: Must have been like a sailor on shore leave when he realised he didn't have to restrict himself to bone-headed ball-chasing Englishme...

Oh I don't doubt that he's building a good young foundation. In fact I don't doubt it so much that I said it about four posts ago. :wink: Instructive comparison with Citeh there, though. Yon mon at the Council House looks like a good manager. I reckon he could regularly take England to the quarter-...

DSB O'Neill didn't agree with the inflated prices over the summer. He did in fact want more players (and full backs he most definitely mentioned) but the ones he wanted were too expensive to prise away and he said he did not want to "waste" the owners money. He is developing something there. Villa ...

yeah, of course that's why Villa have been so good since he arrived - not at all like the previous years of mediocrity at all. As I keep telling my frustrated Villa mate, they'd be alright if they had a highly-respected manager and a billionaire owner. Oh... I can see BWFCi's argument for MON's imp...

He (Martin O'Neill) was the obvious candidate last time around, but perhaps they were scared off the Ratboy tracksuit look? :conf: The FA wanted to cover populist bases by installing Stuart Pearce as MO'N's assistant, with the idea of grooming Psycho to eventually take the top job (y'know, like Bry...

nor has he particularly fixed anything. He has improved Villa, they were bottom half under O Dreary. He worked miracles at Leicester and turned Celtic around. But like I say his most crucial quality is that he is strong enough to resist the media and public baying that goes hand in hand with Englan...

If we are going to have an England manager with no experience of winning owt, lets at least have one with some charisma. Steve McClaren is probably the most boring man alive. I don't think that he is quite as bad tactically as some people make out, but he has no personality, doesn't show passion an...

team and tactics picked by way of online vote - yeah that'll be a success. My first suggestion would be sacking the manager as there's no point to his role in this structure. Exactly, and who conveys the decisions to the players? And who coaches the tactics into them? What if the coaches disagree w...
