    The ref and linesman in the Scotland game were fucking terrible.

    Still, they gave it their all and I'm proud of them. Long live the Tartan Army.

    Well you know the rule; No matter what, the Italian side wins - for both club and country.

    Nope. :(

    And Alan Hutton needs to leave Rangers in order to reach his full potential. He's a good full back but he has the qualities to be even better.

    On another note, if Chelsea beat us to Luka Modric I will go fucking crazy.

    they only know how to poach players by paying them more so i wont be surprise if they did and yeah Alan Hutton oughta go overseas, but honestly scottish players arent the most marketable so they're always either stuck in scotland or playing in england sooo....

    I've just read an article about the Wembley fans turning on England if things go badly against Croatia.

    http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/18112007/58/euro-2008-qual-frank-roasted.html

    Seriously, England have been handed such a chance that if they dont take it they deserve every bit of stick they get. Im sorry but you look at the ability and wages of the england team. These players shouldn't have a problem winning qualification groups.

    On another note though well done Scotland and Northern Ireland, Scotland where robbed. David Healy's 13th goal was quality.

    Anybody see the Yeovil - Gillingham game, heard Sodje was taken to hospital, from what i heard it was pretty serious head injury, was in the recovery position on the pitch

    We have first option of Modric though so no bids will matter if we bid for him. :D

    And to be honest I don't care if fans turn on England simply because there is more than enough talent there to bring the country success. There hasn't been one single standout player for us in so long now and there's no reason for it because these players are all fantastic for their clubs. I think the only way England is ever gonna get success is if they get a manager who knows how to make the team click. Someone like Mourinho or Hiddink would be ideal. Otherwise we're never gonna win anything.

    If we qualify on wednesday we will be extremely lucky to have qualified which is saying alot considering we had one of the easiest groups and shouldn't have been in the situation where qualification was out of our hands. Israel did the country a huge favor yesterday and now it's back in our hands. I wouldn't be surprised if we still blow it though.

    England one of the best set of supporters in the world and they deserve to not be bored upset with the teams performances. I myself find it difficult to sit through England games because they play such unattractive ineffective football.

    Ukrain 2 - 2 France. At least they finished first of the group.

    Bulgaria 2 - 1 Netherlands. That's just pathetic.

    Ok in all seriousness the FA need to get rid of McClaren, Venables and the entire coaching team and hire a proper manager and some proper coaches because none of them deserve their job titles in my opinion.

    We need to somehow convince Jose Mourinho or Marcello Lippi or someone like that who has past success to take the reigns because the current side is going nowhere fast. We were handed a gift by Israel and we basicly threw it in their faces. No one played to their standards tonight and it's about time England had some success.
