Euro Qualifiers 13th & 17th October **Spoilers**

[Proc]

Never the ones to do it the easy way are we.

Still a possibility we can qualify, but not getting my hopes up. Unbelievable.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Cmon scotland lets test the 17year old keeper!

 

[BaZ87]

......

Was Gerrard injured?

With the exception of a mad 10 mins we didn't play that badly but we've ended up paying for the poor form early on.

Israel are a decent side but we're really clutching at straws if we're having to hope for them to do us a favour so we can qualify.

 

[C64]

It's almost worth us going out just to finally get rid of Mclaren he should have gone after the macedonia game at home.
Time to forget euro 2008 exists i will not be watching without us in it.

 

[Poppy]

Usual England BS, get a goal. Instead of pushing up and taking it to the oppo we all sit behind the ball trying to hold onto a very slender lead. Then we're surprised when we concede 2 quick goals.

IDIOTIC MUPPETS

Cant wait for tomorrows papers and the England excuses ... plastic pitch, cold weather etc etc

Im sooo soo angry

Careful what you wish for mate .. you have no idea who will replace him

 

[-|ScottFree|-]

I don't know what you are all talking about when blaming McClaren, we were totally robbed. The guy was at least 2 ft outside the area and dived.. I don't mind losing but when we lose to people resorting to cheating, no matter what the sport, that irritates me.

 

[Loki]

More to the point how the hell did that bunch of part-time-looking players beat an England side?

Disgraceful.

That would assume that England have a divine right to beat Russia ?

 

[Gilly]

Was Gerrard injured?

I hope so because if he wasn't he should be taken outside and shot for that shower of **** performance he put in in the second half. Players running past him left right and centre, he barely made a challenge, couldn't keep the ball, couldn't pass the ball.

He was supposed to be the captain. Thank god Terry got the nod ahead of him. I think with a proper leader on the park it could have been a different story. Certainly if that leader had been Terry.

That would assume that England have a divine right to beat Russia ?

Divine right? Not in the slightest. However, it is comparable to York beating manyoo. It should never have happened.

 

[McRod]

if Scotland qualify and England dont they will never let us forget it

we had a "easy" group compared to them

Thats what rivalry is all about.

To be brutally honest, i`d like to see England qualify and as far as Scotland goes, we`re still a hell of a long way off qualification. All our previous results will go for nothing if we don`t beat Georgia and at least draw with Italy.

Cheating or not, they were all over us. We were like headless chickens for pretty much the entire 2nd half.

 

[inferno]

Well thanks England, you just ruined my Euro 2008, how am I going to enjoy it with no England in?

The team was a disgrace, I saw no-one trying in that game and then when we were down nobody could keep the ball.


Why did we bring on that POS crouch, he can't even header the ball....

 

[dannyjo22]

Let's be honest from the moment they appointed Mclaren we all knew what would happen.

England fans are so fickle. He bought in SWP, Richards and Barry. Heskey from the wilderness and it worked.

Every england thread is the same,

Rooneys crap doesnt deserve to play
OMG they bought back that donkey heskey
Dump beckham
Bring back beckham
Beckham who?

And on and on.

Sooner or later people just have to accept we just aren't that good. About 70-80% of our top league is foreigners. For good reason.

 

[Rosbif]

I dunno why they brought Downing on .. Ferdinand can pump and hoof the ball up field better than he can ..

 

[Kainz]

Oh dear.

Beat me to it. No idea why everyone even rushes home to watch them anymore tbh. Maybe the England squad should concentrate on doing what they do best, roasting and writing autobiographies

 

[Gilly]

Because Crouch is our best goal-getter at the minute I imagine.

Why you'd bring Downing on I have no idea.

 

[SideWinder]

Didn't watch the game but i had a feeling this would happen, hmm...i agree with the comment about the football team having talks with the rugby team.

yeah we are not as good as the media makes us out to be but we should still atleast win the games we dont

 

[C64]

The tactic was lob high balls in to owen from what i was seeing the only player that played well was sol campbell the rest were panicky and dire.
We have world class players in almost every position it's the tactics the players and management that get it wrong time and time again.

 

[Loki]

The stakes are high and it was a disappointing result but upto the equalizer then I thought it was a very competent performance. My only criticism was that I thought J Cole really looked like a central midfielder being asked to play on the wing rather than a natural left side midfielder. He looked very uncomfortable
