I don't believe that. I truly believe if we could get them to recreate
club form, they'd be in a group of five or six in with a chance of world
cup glory.

They play as though they're paralysed with fear....they are NOT the same
players we all see week in week out. We've seen them play with fear at
Wembley, and choke, then go abroad and tear someone a new arsehole. They
need a bloody shrink as much as they do a decent coach. A decent skipper
wouldn't go amiss either. Gerrard never re-created the skippering
abilities he has shown for Liverpool.

Listening to their own fans booing will not have helped with their
fragile state of mind....but you can almost forgive it. There was a
bloke who re-mortgaged his house for his World Cup funds on telly the
other day. In the end, though, booing is fundamentally wrong....and it
helps no one.

Forget about Ronaldo.
Your Carlos Tevez too.
'Cos we've got a player who's United through and through.
He just might tw*t your groundsman, and bomb down your wing,
He's French, he's fast, he's f*cking CLASS, so hear United sing:
Tra la laa, it's Patrice Evra, tra la laa laa laa laa laa...

The problem with Capello is he doesn't take advantage of a players
strength (or weakness). He was supposed to come in and be the iron man
and no one was sacred. Yet Frank Lampard continues to blow chunks
every time he puts on the England shirt. I'd never say that Carrick
was a better overal player than Lampard but FFS England has had about
enough of the Lampard experiment and it's time to try the other bloke,
he couldn't have done any worse could he?
Joe Cole is another that sits rotting on the bench, he's a flair
player that could just add that spark to this dismal looking England
team. Shake it up Capello, dump the holy cows and play Gerrard in the
position he prefers and let him support Rooney. Gerrard has been in
fair form and if he's given his head he'll do some damage.

Fragile state of mind? They ought to try living in the real world for
a while, struggling to pay bills and watching their faithful wags
disappear over the horizon.

That England performance was the worst I've seen in over 40 years, and
considering the amount of money it cost those fans to be there, the
booing was thoroughly deserved.

if you were a scout for a championship or league 1 team you would not
reccomend any of englands players to your manager on the evidence of the 2
perfomances so far.
all the hype in the world isnt going to make the "big 3 (Rooney Gerard and
Lampard)" play any better.
at least it will be all over next wednesday and maybe they can share a plane
with the germans.

What a complete load of old bollocks you have written again.
