"big sam for england!" chants the crowd

milner warming up....watch him sub n'zogbia and play milner down the left

not only is it a completely inept performance technically but we look like a side completely devoid of heart and passion - we're there to be beat. i thought the football would be ugly under sam but i expected him at least to make us a difficult side to break down.

not exact;y inspiring when we need to chase the game. looks like he's settling for the 0-2.

great. so he makes a change but leaves smith on the field.

can't believe sam hasn't changed anything like. this is shambolic

andy gray laughing at us. cunt

good grief

haven't we had one of the threads already? i don't think we should sack him. he's had nowhere near enough time. but if he keeps playing smith in midfield my patience is going to wear thin.

given should have probably walked too. he's got to change it at half time like. i'd put milner on for smith and barton on for emre or butt.

what is it with football managers and their post match glass of red?

gerrard was awful for england against croatia. he deserves the boos. typical that he looks a different player today though and scores a cracker jack.

this is fucking clueless. we look even worse than we did last year under the rodent. no creativty whatsover. geremi and smith down the right. can smith please fuck off? why is he in the side exactly? to give the ball away it seems. viduka looks fat and slow and martins is having one of those days where the ball bounces off him anytime he goes near it. on the plus side beye and enrique have looked decent.

Are you out delivering chocolates later or something? no. i'm just sat at my desk looking trendy

what's the point in signing him? you could guarantee that he'd be off in a season or two

i'm sporting a black y3 polo neck cardigan as we speak, with three very apt white stripes running down the back.

i dunno but i'd put my mortgage on him finding room for smith somewhere in the line up

anelka's had more clubs than tiger woods

you can't really blame mclaren for taking the job, or holding out for the compensation. who in their right mind would resign when they could pick up £2.5m for waiting 24 hours and suffering the inevitable? the fa truly are a bunch of old fuckwits though. it's just like when we appointed souness. it was SO obvious that mcclaren was never going to be the man for the job. i've got to say though not even i thought he'd fuck up in quite so spectacular style. he has to go down as one of the worst english managers ever when you consider he blew the lifeline that israel undeservedly gave us.

second choice steve for the blue noses

so by typing in lower case i'm disrespecting you? good grief.

never going to happen, but my dream appointment would be wenger. imagine if england played like arsenal? he doesn't rate english players though (quite rightly) and would never take the job. so more realistically, i'd try for mourinho. he'd get the best out of those players. it wouldn't be pretty but fuck me, it's hardly been total football under sven and second choice steve - i'm pretty sure we would have qualified under jose. just please, christ, please....no more english managers. there aren't any good ones out there so don't even go there barwick. you stupid fat bearded knob jockey. good grief.

who cares? i'd rather see newcastle win a throw in than england qualify for the euros

my seven a side lost 2-1 last night to a very dodgy decision by the ref if it's any consolation
