jonthebhoy Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Excellent 4-0 defeat by Sevilla, showing tactical acumen at the highest level. Rubbing my hands.... Yes I thought so to. Very naive tactics. I feel that England (after the World Cup) are about to enter a dark period in their football history. JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I feel that England (after the World Cup) are about to enter a dark period in their football history. Scotland are years ahead yet again! Been bleak down Hampden way for quite a while now More seriously, I think McLaren is slightly in awe of European tactics (as has been the British vogue for quite a while now, getting foreign managers etc) and tries to mimic them....badly. Then he resorts to pub team tactics when it all goes wrong. If there's one place you are going to get ripped apart at the back by just hoofing the ball up the pitch it's international football. I think Craig Brown at least understood that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted May 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I feel that England (after the World Cup) are about to enter a dark period in their football history. JTB Shame Eh?........................ Steve McLaren is an inspired......................second choice by the FA! JTB BTW he is now 4th choice.......we want Arsene Wenger......"NON!"...........we want Jose Mourinho............"F**K O**!"................we want Scolari.................."yes!"......enter the journo's..........."Fu*k O**, and Die"..............................we WILL TAKE Steve Mclaren..........."Aye awrite lads, thanks very much"............. On a more serious note I REALLY HOPE that Rooney makes the World Cup, so that England have NO excuses for getting Hosed. He is completely overrated and I look forward to the fall from grace, hahahahaha! grace lol. I am no doubt sure that no matter whether Rooney is there or not there will be a Plethora of excuses why England DON'T win the world cup: It was in Germany! We have just finshed a Long Season! We forgot to Play ALL of our Game at Wembley! We haven't arranged a friendly with Scotland next year so they can beat us! the German's Cheated! Those referees Cheated! The TEAMS that beat us Cheated! The Lager Swilling AR*SEH**ES, weren't allowed into the country, so we had NO SUPPORTERS! You know the usual ones, ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 STOP PRESS: Scotland score five goals. Not in a single year....in one game! To paraphrase Sir Alex: "Bloody hell, eh?" Strange days...... Anyway, actually wondering if Edge was going to be heading down Hampden way for the Scottish Cup Final. Obviously the neutrals all want Gretna to win, must be annoying to be a non-Old Firm team getting to the final and be treated like they own the place! Should be a great day of football - Scotland triumphing in the Kirin Cup (ooh, love that Kirin beer. Did you know Japan has beer vending machines on the streets? Heaven! I'll tell you...those vending machines wouldn't last five minutes in Craigmiller. They wouldn't last five minutes in Morningside!). The Scottish Cup Final. And, oh, should be some 'proper' football down in Cardiff. Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 What?? Are we playing an Aussie Rules game in Cardiff???? Ah, Cardiff, that hotbed of Aussie Rules.... Intriguingly, the English FA Cup final is only being played in Cardiff because the English FA paid the Aussies (Multiplex) a billion dollars to build the new Wembley....and they haven't quite got around to it yet. But it's on their 'to do' list..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Probably shows how silly the Poms could be, getting Multiplex to do anything. Their history of completion here is so appalling that they have had to go O/S for work- won't get too much more here. When's the next FA cup final? @jtb, Gee- I'll trade my mod hat for a month to win that prize! offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their history of completion here is so appalling that they have had to go O/S for work- won't get too much more here. When's the next FA cup final? I think they hired Multiplex because they had done such an 'amazing' job with Stadium Australia(!)....slightly overlooking the years of continuous grief and f*$k ups in the run up to Sydney 2000! I guess they never got to see The Games... London preparing for the 2012 Olympics will be hysterical - I love their endless optimism. But for a city that can't build a stadium on time for AU$2 billion (I was a billion out before), can't build train lines for about the same amount, and only managed an indoor car park (Millenium Dome) for about another $2 billion - it will go pear-shaped at great expense!

Gutted that I missed the Christmas episode though (didn't know they were going to have one), and they don't sell it on DVD (yet I guess). One phrase that I've adopted is "THAT'S PLENTY"!!
