The Eng-er-land thread

This is one reason why the English p*ss me off. EURO 2008 IS STILL GOING AHEAD!! You lot can still watch it. I was watching it anyway, I knew Wales were almsot definitely not gonna qualify but I'm still gonna watch it.

Yeah. With the players England have they should be flying.

My wife's Italian...imagine the fun I'll have next year

Not too bothered really, it's time alot of these guys realised they're not all that they think they are. McLaren was always the wrong man for the job, as I thought when he was appointed.

Jose Mourinho for England manager! That'd be hilarious...

To be honest he is one of the best men for the job, he won't get my vote, though!  The reason for that is because you need someone that can implement a plan quickly.
Scholari, Capello and Moron-hio should be the short-list in my opinion.  Scholari is an experience international campaigner and would edge it, put we would need to keep the job open for 6 months for that to happen, so its probably exactly the same situation as last time. 

Mourinho's ruled himself out of the England post.

They'll probably hire either Scolari or Hiddink I think.

Capello is also an option!  The thing is with mourin-ho is that he would have definately took the job, as I don't think he has done enough in the premiership to be remembered as great coach.  But the media and the comments of fellow managers made him believe that he had left his name in the history of the English game. And wants to now go to in my opinion Italy and do the same.

bring back eileen dury and her mate Glen 

Random I know. But thought this was valid. Sinbad out of Brookie (Brookside for non scousers) is on Granada Soccer Night right now and they were talking about England. When he was asked a question about England he replied 'Well, I'm a Liverpool fan so I don't really care about England'. Well said Sinbad!
