How the blithering heck can players not pass the ball to the feet of a team-mate 15 [censored] yards away. How the cocking [****!!****] can corners, over and over again, be taken that don't clear the first man? How, in the name of all that's [censored] sane can players not hold 2 lines of [censored] 4? Christ on a fricking trampoline.

 

 

He missed berating a couple of substitutes, but other than that - spot-on.

and who knew we had swear censors on here? not me, obviously.

 

It reads pretty well regardless, but once again, the unbowdlerised original is here.

...and then Rooney slagged the fans off for boo-ing when walking off the pitch. Nice!

The game was 24 minutes old before Heskey successfully passed the ball to a team mate.

Things is england fans would have paid thousands of pounds of flight, accomodation and tickets to what that cr@p. It was a disgrace. I would have boo-ed as well.

Although blessed with football ability, to become a football great you have to have something between the ears called a brain which he sadly lacks.

Good though Capello's new regime has been in installing discipline and respect in the squad, what no-one figured was that although that new culture works in short bursts, over the course of a tournament (they've been together for 35 days now) it's just too much for English footballers to handle. They are now flat, inhibited, bored, and unhappy.

 

They need an opportunity to have some fun and get a bit of zest back.

 

Not saying it SHOULD be like that, representing one's country should perhaps be enough to get the best out of you, but if the mind isn't right, the performance will suffer and it is clear their minds, individually and collectively, are not right. Will someone, a player, Pearce, Beckham or anyone else, have the balls to go up to Capello and tell him that English footballers are not the same as the Dutch, Italian, Spanish etc. players he has coached / managed in the past and that this bunch need to have an opportunity to have some fun before it's all too late?

Whilst i didnt expect it to be THAT bad i'm not susprised we are struggling. We only have one world class player in Rooney and he's suffered since his injury. Going out in the groups rather than the next round or the one after is the best thing that can happen. Burst the bubble and myths around the rubbish in the sqaud. English are best at being underdogs afterall!

 

I spent most of the second half laughing. That game was up there with the classic at Abingdon in the berks and bucks cup. Those who were there will never forget!
