OOOOO i just sent him a harsh email maybe a little bit too harsh but for the tears he caused this great nation he deserves all he gets!!!
I dont ever doubt our will to win and even though I didn't agree with the threat to strike I think it showed a 'togetherness' within the side. thursday night was heartbreaking (again!) but we must be optimistic - a defeatist attitude is not suited to the English culture.
I hope your brain is feeling better Tealeaf!? I bet it doesn't help that the RU team is being beaten by Australia 41-16 at the moment, that's five out of the last six they have lost - what is going wrong?
Apparently the ref website was closed won yesterday after it received over 30,000 hits in one minute. I went on to have a look and had a serious debate with myself concerning whether to offer the ref some 'constructive criticism' - decided against it as it wasn't helping my rehabilitation so went down the pub instead. Funny how pain subsides in correlation to the amount of beer consumed.......

The England Football Coach, Sven Groan Ericsson is appearing on "Who wants to be a Millionaire?"
He has reached the million pound question and Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sven, this one is for a million pounds, and remember you still have two lifelines left, so please take your time.
Here's your question : What type of animal lives in a Sett?"
Is it,
A) a badger
B) a ferret
C) a mole OR
D) a cuckoo?
Remember that he's from Sweden and some unusual English words may not be known to him. Sven ponders for a while, and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not sure. I'll have to go 50:50. "Right, Sven, we'll take away two wrong answers and you are left with BADGER and CUCKOO.
Sven has a long think, then scratches his head and says, "No, Chris, I'm still not sure. I'll phone a friend" "Who are you going to call, Sven?", asks Chris.
"Hmmmmm, I think I'll call David Beckham", says Sven.
So Chris telephones David Beckham. "David, this is Chris Tarrant from 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?'. I've got Sven Goran Ericsson here and with your help he could win a million pounds. The next voice you ill
hear will be Sven's".
"Hello, David" says Sven. "It's the boss here. What type of animal lives in a sett? Is it a badger or a cuckoo?"
"It's a badger, boss", says David without any hesitation.
"Are you sure, son?" asks Sven.
"Definitely, boss. One hundred per cent. It's a badger. Definitely."
"Right, Chris," says Sven, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger."
"Is that your final answer, Sven?" asks Chris.
"Yes!" says Sven.
"That's the correct answer, you've won the million pounds!!"
Wild celebrations ensue in the studio .....
Next morning at football training, Sven calls David across. "Son, that was brilliant last night. I thought I might be taking a gamble giving you a call, but you played a blinder! But how did you know that a badger lives in a sett?"
"Oh ..., I didn't, boss." replies David, "but everyone knows a cuckoo lives in a clock"

There's always next time. ........... isn't there?

Indeed. It wasn't the England team at fault. It was the refereeing.

And unfortunately he was the first one to take a penalty and discover he was also playing against a Portugese mole. The others were at least made aware of the problem once they'd seen his effort.
Well i thought that his tactics were poor, everytime we went in the lead in a match we sat back and defended.
And him being a liar; he signed a contract with blackburn rovers but never honoured it.

Sven's my choice anyway I feel he is the right man still for the job and take us on to big things, Same with Beckham, yes he missed 2 penalties, but he is still an excellent leader and still one of the best players in the game.
Only critiscm of Sven is his selections, taking Emile Heskey, I cant believe he picked him over James Beattie and Alan Smith both having excellent seasons domestically. Also is there anyone who rates Owen Hargreaves? Does he play well for Bayern? Does he actually get a game a Bayern??
All our players will be in their "prime" in our next major tournament who says we cant do it!
Bring on the World Cup.........

Right on Kipax...............Smirking Sven should have had his p45 the moment he stepped off that plane. His reign has produced nowt over the last years and there is no reason to think that will change by World Cup 06. Lets stop blaming everthing else - the ref, the pitch,bad luck - apart from the team. The simple fact is that team was not good enough. We need an Englishman in there, and fast.
There is however, one person, who stands out for his arrogance and his incompitance and that is Beckham. Not satisfied with stating, quote, " I am digusted that people are challenging my leadership" he is now trying to shift the blame for his own pathetic performance to club colleagues at Real Madrid by stating the training regime there was of insufficient rigour (Not his words, this time....he's to stupid to understand their meaning)
Beckham did nothing for England in this tournament; his only feeble efforts were his failed penaltys in pursuance of the flattering of his vanity. I suspect the Spaniards will now be getting rid of the fool...I can't see Chelsea having him. Maybe the Japenese J league may have a role for him, selling his "Shu-****e" bum cream at half time on the telly....because thats about all he's good for.
