Midlands Gooner - yeah, I DID have the miserable experience of reading what little b------- excuses that McClaren had in his new attempt to try and save his own neck from being wrung like a chicken at an abattoir. Makes for really good toilet paper, beacuse I'm afraid that is all it is good for. Utter rubbish!

That's a terrible team. Nuggent is Division 1, you need your head testing if you think he s best than Rooney and Owen

The England national squad fans should understand that your team lacks the quality and determination to make an impact on the international level. The Premier League is one of the top leagues in Europe, along with Primera Division in Spain, but mostly due to the quality of foreign players.

Yes, Scholes was a great player for England - but it's too late now.

You serious expect him to come back on the international stage now? He's retired, and probably made the right decision. I honestly can't see him coming back.

We've got to focus on what we do have - not think about the past.

bothkennar, u are clearly missing the point, i am no hooligan, and indeed tennis is my first sport, however to congratulate the overpaid prma donnas is a disgrace, they lack pride passion and respect, they forget it is the HUMBLE fan who hjas put them where they are, i say go back to wage capping. They are a disgrace and deserve every bit of criticism until they smarten themselves up. Forget results, their general attitude and mentality, even their appearence when they get off the team coach was simply arrogant and disrespectful...They are representing their country, not their school team, i have been fortunate to do so in tennis, and was very honoured, and did not view myself above the country as these uneducated slobs do. Indeed i believe they threw a tantrum when they where not allowed out clubbing after the israel game! They should have been embarassed and ashamed...

I shouldn't have said "Russian" linesman ... he was Soviet, of course. Major point. My mistake.

And of course, at 2-3 the German side obviously played exactly the same way as they would have (continued to do so) at 2-2.

"Most England fans were actually bewildered when the FA got rid of Terry Venables and Glenn Hoddle in quick succession, prematurely and for ridiculous reasons." - I don't recall the press being bewildered.

"With regard to Sven-Goran Eriksson -most fans were happy with him until Euro 2004 but then felt that his contract should not have been renewed after that." - The words "hunt" and "witch" come to mind when I think of Svennis and his time in England.

"Obviously 'the whole world' is unaware that England is not a 'little island' but is part of a little island." To everyone outside your little island, this is completely irrelvant - we simply don't care!

"No-one in England thinks that we have 'an automatic right to win every four years'. This could be a case of what psychologists might call 'transference'" - I think you have a word for this comment. It sounds something like the castrated male cow? Begins with a B, I think.

"When I was a kid in the 1970s England didn't even qualify for world cups - let alone think of winning them." I too recall a certain Mr Tomacewski! There was little justice that year, however.

"The final score was 4-2." Irrelevant, see above.

"Agreed. The Olympics are an expensive white elephant." Well, at least we agree on something!

"I support the bid of Australia 2018. That'll be good for the game." Ah, two things!

"Well a German manager might be good for England. Although I'd prefer someone like Jurgen Klinsmann" He should coach the diving team, not a fottball team! I hate cheats. You have a good word for him too. Something about little boys' habits in the bathroom, I think.

HortsRadisch - I can safely assume that you ARE German, and that the result of Wembley 1966 DID hurt you and your fellow countrymen a lot at the time, and there ARE still a lot of German fans who still say that the third goal did NOT go over the goal line...but the history books say it DID, the FIFA websites say it DID, and every English fan say it DID. If it had happened the other way around, don't tell me that you would not have said, "Yes, yes! We did it! We scored! GOAL!" It's a debate that will go on forever, but it is NOT GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING - NOT NOW, NOT EVER! That's it! Over! History! The end! Good night!

skarocker,

Roy Keane was one of the best players to ever touch a football, his goal-scoring record was not as good as Lampard's. Its not all about goals, its what you do for the team....

Don't know if you've ever noticed but the whole point of football is to score the most goals & therefore win...Roy Keane was just a thug..but then again, most footballers would lose an intelligence contest up against a bag of minced beef
