What a one-trick pony you' ve become...

I was at the England v Japan game before SA 2010 and England played yesterday with the very same lack of commitment, just like the starting XI for Italy is already done and no-one need go 110% and risk injury. Result of this WC for England will be the same - or worse

As others said, he got rid of us. However there is some merit in what you say, and in the argument that if he had focused a bit better on attacking play we might have done even better. Maybe this departure will work out well for us, but we will never know. Following on from what you say, and considering this sanctimonious attitude Spurs fans and club official have about the way they should play, it is not inconceivable that he is going to be in real trouble, real fast, and he could well be gone by Xmas.

Yep. Linked today with Xherdan Shaqiri

I thought the common perceived wisdom was that him NOT being in would speed up his exit through frustration ? No doubt Deschamps will do a Hodgson and turn a blind eye as he gets tapped up. Congratulations to Morgan, anyway.

Sadly its true. If he stays with us, we'll J-Rod start a game before him.

Yep, thats like spunking away all the money we are likely to get for Lallana; all for nothing.

Another class to Lallana.

Last year we came to Austria and played 2 of Europe's top tier of teams. You get a grip.

Why do you think that ?

This pre-season scheulde as a platform to let a clique of fans, the number of which is somewhat indeterminate, go on a unregulated booze-up away from the dragons indoors is great. For building up fitness, team spirit and testing the teams mettle against quality opposition, its utter w*nk.

Yep. Real come-down in the world, this is........

Kerrching !!! 1M lost...

I see the BBC web commentary warming up for tonights England match is already referring to "Liverpool's Rickie Lambert". Surpised how hurt and angry it made me, tbh. Its like his efforts for us that got him there never happened.............

Sorry, the boat has left for me regarding them two; get shot whoever is in charge.

I like this post. Agree completely. Seeing the list of players we have STILL got after the Mopo/SRL/Lallana/Shaw circus (sill hoping Lovren and Morgan will stay) in black-and-white, has cheered me up a lot. Thanks !

I find that kind of sweet that Marian has come forward. Miss the little fella.

If he has a cacko WC he has to come back, pick himself up and rebuild his reputation. I think a bit of humilliation at the WC might do him some good.

What happened with Strachan is the very reason I would not be averse to Moyes getting the hot seat.

I've freely admitted being anti-England. Me being anti-Saints is just the feverished creation of your moribund limited brain.

I see MGM are about to reboot Stargate.

Hard to look past Trainspotting. 24 Hour Party People ? Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence ?

Nope, always been anti-England. I only drop that stance when it is clear the authorities (Blatter at FIFA, Platini at UEFA) are shafting England over things like rankings/seedings or when I think for a brief moment in time, 3 loyal servants from my club will be amongst their ranks. *cue pithy comments from CB Fry...*

Still no manager appointed, then.........

I will still be rooting for our non-England contingent. I'll even be rooting for a Gashy-Goal against England, and that's saying something....
