Russia v England - match thread.

[Craig_H]

I'm disappointed to be honest, its always good to get out in the summer when a tournament is on. I spent a wedge at the boozer last summer. McClaren needs to go now, never was good enough. I do despair at times with the national side. We should be able to win these games

Russia away is tricky, sometimes you can win games like that, sometimes not. The problem isnt Russia away, it's the fact that we were in this situation in the first place. Losing to Croatia away is no disgrace, but it's the home draw with Macedonia which has fecked england up the arse. That one was beyond any excuse, you just have to win home games against also-rans.

[Craig_H]

think he'd want the job but doubt he'll be offered it

Hmmm...i dunno, i get the feeling the only national job he'd do is Portugal. Or, at the very least, he'd want to do that FIRST before any other.

I am well happy it looks like we wont qualify. How any self respecting supporter can stand there and cheer on Chav and Scum players is beyond me.

****ing hypocrits

True mate, we should not have been in this situation at all, winning home games is essential for any team national or otherwise. Macedonia was beyond excuse. I'm not one for knee jerk reactions really, I see enough of em in my line of work, but maybe a change in management should have happened then

And a change of goalkeeper.

scotland just gone 1 down, maclaren should resign and they should replace him with mourhinio whilst they have the chance

I agree mate.

From the BBC coverage:

1817: Georgia continue to look dangerous, with both their full-backs charging down the flanks. Scotland look OK defensively though.

then

1817: GOAL Georgia 1-0 Scotland
Brilliant corner from Georgia and towering striker Levan Mchelidze nods it in. Disastrous start for Scotland. This is looking like a bleak day for the home nations.

:whatever:

If you want england to win then you are supporting the likes of individuals such as Lampard, Cole, Cole, Terry, Rooney etc.....

And the is nothing wrong with the spelling of ****ing or........

1. hypocrit

a combination of liar,moron and hypocrite...

I know a liberal and he/she is a hypocrit

Play Carson the lads certainly got the quality. My mate just text me and said he'll probably bring fat frank back now saying he's the spine of the team or something.

McClaren is totally clueless. He got lucky twice with his tactic of chucking on all three subs at the same time in the UEFA Cup quarter-final and semi-final. Put him up against a half decent team (Sevilla were more than that in the UEFA Cup final but Russia are barely that) and a top-class manager and his limitations are woefully exposed.

He got praise for picking Heskey and Barry so now he needs criticism for picking Lescott (out of his depth) and especially Robinson (who flapped at one shot and got lucky when it hit the post and was at fault for the winner).

What a complete tw*t.

How does Feltcher just walk straight into the Scotland team after been out with a broken leg, other players must be pissed off
