Over the years I've watched some shite masquerading as football played by Ingurland, but that last one really took the sauerkraut. A more inept uninspired excuse for a performance is hard to imagine.
No doubt there will be inquests held by the press and hopefully by the FA. It's time our national game underwent a serious examination. The main reason for the demise of our national team is the lack of strength in depth available to whoever our manager may be. This is undoubtedly the result of years of laissez-faire capitalism ruining our top league. The days when teams like Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool, to name the chief culprits although they are by no means the only guilty parties, can field teams with at most a couple of Englishmen in the line up must stop NOW. Don't ask me how this is going to happen what with EU labour laws applying to what is essentially a sport, not a business. Maybe they should think about exempting sports from the rules?
A secondary reason is the collective greed of EVERY team in the top flight that prevents money from spreading down to lower leagues that would enable smaller teams to spend more on local youth development which is where futre English talent will emerge.
Fuck, I'm too angry to carry on with this, and I stick by what i posted on a friend's status update:
Capello should be sacked, replaced by Harry (sorry Spurs fans, he's the only man for the job). Ferdinand Terry - retire - replaced by Dawson & Jagielka. Gerrard, Barry & Lampard retire - replaced by Rodwell, Ashley Young & Huddlestone. Heskey GO. NOW. Replaced by ANY FUCKER
No apologies for the language, it's entirely justified. And I can't be arsed to spell/grammar check either.... :(((
A day later and I'm still pissed off. Actually, there isn't nearly enough invective in my tame blast, so I might delete it.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention two other squad changes - Joe Hart should be our No.1 choice for keeper, and Upson should be replaced by Lescott. Carragher should not be let anywhere near Wemberlee ever again.
