Sorry, forgot about the seven millionaire subs who might have come on,to no effect.

Big Mac blaming the injuries? What a dick. those 11 men could have won.
why the feck crouch stayed on the pitch when it was clear he made 2 significant contributions to the game, 1 was to be caught offside repeatedly and 2 to commit fouls. Admittedly some were very tame, bordering on BWFC fouls but if he gets no change out of the ref, surely time to give someone else a try?
not one decent ball came from the left. Barry looked curiously out of his depth and Phil Nev betrayed his lack of crossing ability. and all the time Downing on the bench? either some dodge pact with southgate or determined not to look like he had favouritism.

I truly truly wanted Lineker to ask Ian Wright " So Wrighty - why is Shauny so shit, why can't he cross a ball and why can't he beat a defender".
The panel of experts said the defender was dropping off wright phillips, the reason he was doing that was because even he realised that no way was he going to go past him and also when he did his crosses were crap. If that had been anyone except SWP playing the panel would have given him a slagging off at half time.
The first action from Noleap Crutch was to put his arm across the defenders shoulders then look in amazement as the ref gives a free kick. Crouch > Davies - my arse.
Also don't start me off with why Terry Venables was in the dugout.

Bottom line of it all is that when we get up against players of international quality playing for their country, we just aren't good enough any more. Millionaire lifestyles do not beget graft and passion. I'd back Doncaster against that lot. "Die for your country"....yeah.

I went to the game, as I haven’t been to watch England before. There’s a first (and a last) time for everything. The team started well, but after about ten minutes, things began to look familiar.
The build up play was slow, players were making runs and getting the ball too late (or not at all) and once play got into the final third, the ball was hoofed into the penalty area to no one in particular. Yes, it was just like watching Bolton!
Crouch persisted in climbing all over defenders, even though he was penalised every time for it. You’re six feet seven, why do you need to do that? Kieron Dyer ran around like a headless chicken, albeit a pretty fast one and SWP could neither beat his man or get a cross in. Gerrard was awful in the first half and Lampard even worse in the second.
Strangely, I found myself sitting with a bunch of cockneys, the most vocal of which was a few rows in front of me.
“For fack’s sake England do summink with the ball!”
“Cam on, go right through the facking cants!”
Those complaining about being ripped off at the Reebok, should sample Old Trafford. My plans for a pre-match pint were scuppered when I found that the pubs close to the ground were charging £2 just to get in. Sod that, although there was no shortage of takers. Inside the ground it was £2.70 for a 330ml plastic bottle of Budweiser. Sod that as well.
I left with about 15 minutes to go, when McClaren started pissing about with the subs. Yes, purple face, I really want to pay £30 to see you turn the match into a farce.
The highlight of the evening was getting back to the car to listen to the post mortem with Ray Stubbs and an almost tearful Chris Waddle. Star of the radio phone in was George, an Arsenal and, somewhat avid, England fan.
“George, what was your impression of the match?”
“I’ll tell you now Ray, I’m going to Israel, but we won’t qualify for 2008…”
“George..”
“Lampard was useless, Gerrard was useless, we’ve no idea…”
“George…”
“We can’t pass the ball around like they do, I’m sick of watching this rubbish and I’ll be in Tel Aviv next month, but we won’t qualify for 2008…
“GEORGE!...”
“What?”
“Turn your bloody radio off, we can’t hear a word you’re saying.”

McClaren walking past the angry mob in the stands straight after the game -the thoughts running through his head, what has he let himself into.
Englands performance has been covered - "Sack the Steve" ringing out? He needs a perfomance of Arsenal proportions to save his blushes.
