Still, I learned some things…

...I understand the value of some players against this sort of team better now. But Fabio didn't want to name names after England's abysmal capitulation to a Brazil side that didn't really bother because they didn't have to. ...read the full post →

Just when you thought things couldn’t get more…

...ridiculous. After Clive Tyldesley wanked himself live on air over David Beckham's 32 minute presence on the pitch Steve Bruce, who has had far too many knocks to the head in his years as a player, gave his old team mate the man of the match award. ...read the full post →

Was that the real Fabio and…

What a difference a couple of years…

...make. From making England look thoroughly inept under the McClown, Croatia made Fabio#s men look world beaters with an inept performance in last night's World Cup qualifier that booked England's place in South Africa, glossing over the concerns. ...read the full post →

Next year’s World Cup is going to be…

Was this a win, win…

...win in Zagreb. As England stuff Croatia 4-1 to become the first side to beat the hosts on their own patch in a competitive game. Now will Capello take the obvious points from this game or will it be his Munich? ...read the full post →

Was that worse than McClown’s…

...fun day out in Andorra? Capello and his team weren't on the end of the vitriol hurled at McClown's lot but they weren't exactly much better and came away with a worse result to open qualifying for South Africa 2010. ...read the full post →
