I think you maybe wrong I dont think there were many decent player that were not tried Walcott was and was found wanting By the way I dont know many of the players in any of the World Cup teams who do not play in the Premier League

Just because he is English it does not mean Harry is a better manager than Cappello A fourth finish in the Premier League plus a FA Cup win against Cardiff hardly compares with Capello

Plus people on holiday as well

Lets face it there is not much choice

Sorry I was being tongue in cheek I was agrreing with your point of best man for the job. Foreign managers do well in the League so why not for England

Foreign Managers have done nothing for English Football you only have to look at the top 10 in Premier League teams 1 Chelsea 2 Manchester United 3 Arsenal 4 Tottenham Hotspur 5 Manchester City 6 Aston Villa 7 Liverpool 8 Everton 9 Birmingham City 10 Blackburn Rovers Only two English Managers there just like English Players not good enough

I think I would rate this post as 2 possibly 3 some of the ratings are quite bizzare

Oh yes he got the squad wrong - numerous world class players lying on beaches Get real the best English players were chosen but they were just not good enough Not sure any Premier league players have been outstanding for other countries either

I think paying Capello £6m is ridiculous but getting rid of managers is counter productive I would have thought. The main problem is that we dont have the players Terry was slow I thought in 2006 and even slower in 2010 Upson is just not good enough as can be said for a number of others . You could say that Walcott would have made a difference as well as Crouch but at World Level they probably are not good enough

Yes I remember it well I went up to Bitterne to put on a bet just before 3pm drove back to Bitterne Manor the road was deserted and watched on a black and white screen

Seem to be right at the moment as Ghana have just scored. But USA have done well in the later part of the games so far

Are you sure I thought Wotte brought them in early

Yes Alan Ball was a World Cup winner but he was playing for Blackpool at the time

I think Pearson was very lucky not to be wanted by Lowe and Wilde. If he had stayed I doubt whether he would have achieved as much with SFC as he has done at Leicester

Yes I think we started early last year

But talks with Leicester chairman Milan Mandaric about a new contract have not come to fruition Seems a good reason I would have thought

Probably the player who did the most for our club in the last 50 years followed closely by MLT and our only World Cup winner at the moment.

Well he is not going to get much better with no reserve fixtures and sitting on the bench

Terry , Connelly and Callaghan all wingers played in the group stages but there were no wingers in the knock out stages I dont think Thompson was in the squad Connelly played in the first game Terry Paine played in the second and Callaghan in the third See http://www.englandfootballonline.com/CmpWC/CmpWC1966Squad.html

So why is Bart here then?

We used to be a crap team that lost lots of games including those on Sky. Now we are a good team so we will win lots of games including those on Sky

Dont think that would work as then there would probably be more on Benefit I am an OAP next April so it does not affect me but losing a third of my occupational pension has. Just think people will have to pay more NI or opt out completely

I am not sure SRS used to post stuff that was interesting to discuss Although I disagreed with some of his comments they were well put out.

As we dont have an English Government I suppose I am British

That how I see it to.
