We also need an English manager.

The best English candidate as far as I can see would be Hodgson who has spent most of his coaching career abroad.

The rest simply aren't good enough.

England didn't have a hard group to qualify for the finals so Capello's achievement here is limited. Wales had Germany and Russia in their qualifying group. England would not have romped to easy qualification in that group. Thats for sure. Croatia had beaten them twice in the euro qualifiers and Uk...

Capello has not done that much different to what he did in the qualifiers. Gerrard regularly played out left, the team was always announced 2 hours before kick off and he was always promoting a strict approach. It's laughable how Capello was told to treat the players with friendliness when the same ...

England replace Capello and this whole process starts again and ends in the same way. He did try different formations in his early friendlies France comes to mind but they didn't work. The truth is that without the likes of Torres, Fabregas,Drogba etc 11 Englishmen cannot play anything other than 44...

Typical English blame the manager. The simple fact is the players are NOT GOOD ENOUGH. You could have Capello, Moronho or any of the top managers in the world and it wouldn't make a difference. Not blaming the manager, I'm blaming the players. However, they are good enough when they play for their ...

Blame: 1. The Premier League clubs 2. The Premier League 3. The FA 4. Capello One thing is for sure, take the Premier League and shove it where the sun don't shine & I hope to god Reading never get promoted back there until there are serious changes to the way it is organised.... It's more down...

Not always, Argentina in 2002 springs to mind. I just feel that the German media are creating the sort of pressure on their team that the English media usually do to theirs.

England to win. Germans are running their mouths off too much Beckenbauer media etc and are trying to convince themselves that they are going to win. They are more worried about England than England are of them.

Plus, history suggests that England have at least one good game at every World Cup.

Ideal Referee ruined the game. Spain would have gone out if it were not for the ref.
Torres = piece of shit

Chris Coleman ruined it for me by constantly mispronouncing Puyol's name as Piehole.

I don't think it's completely unfounded. Remember the headline on the front of The Sun when the draw was announced (yes I know papers are always going over the top). England against Algeria Slovenia and the Yanks When fans and media are constantly saying how easy it's going to be it's hard not to be...

Tbf to the club the Ultras and their material have largely been banned from inside the stadium by Laporta. The club can't do a lot about what they get up to outside.

I'm not quick enough at typing to have edited it after I saw your reply. My reply to the topic wasn't supposed to be inflammatory, I just found the subject quite amusing considering the fact it is about a player who plays for a club with a such a similar ideology to Barca.

Edited it before I saw your message.

Considering your protestations over Barcelona FiNeRaIn it's a surprise that you are praising a player from a club that has more than a few similarities with Los Cules.

Ugh no, it's the red hand of ulster salute? Thank god neither if you work for the media. Have a look at the northern Ireland flag. On top of the fact it's Celtic with the anti Israel support, part of their issues with the British and American governments over gaza. You would understand if the Israe...

There is about three other keepers that 'arry is looking at including Joe Lewis who as an England u21 International is unlikely to sign for Reading when Prem teams are sniffing around.

I read today that Kitson might be off to Wolves as well. Will be weird if this happens watching Doyle, Hahneman, Hunt and Kitson all playing together for another team. http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/826011-stokes-dave-kitson-linked-with-wolves-move-for-kevin-doyle-reunion Plus they want Bike...

Hope he leaves a forwarding address so the burglers know where to find him.
