The Football.....

I agree with that and also think part of the problem is that when these young kids sign pro forms with the top teams they think they are the bees knees and are clubbing and chasing skirt instead of trying to improve as a professional and that's why a lot of them fall by the wayside.

A set of clogs will be cheap and improve your form no end.


Well if we do buy some clogs we'll have to make sure they aren't from the same manufacturer your lot were wearing that day.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21489673

These games against "lesser nations" should be played around the country,like they did when Wembley was being re-built! Germany play their internationals in different venues, The FA still think that Wembley is the "home of football" and that every footballer in the world wants to play there.
Not forgetting that Wembley wont be paid for for another 10 years or so.

Talking about Germany they showed how you become world champions by luck as much as skill, by losing to the team they beat a few weeks ago.

I was thinking something similar for when Russia is stripped of the World Cup and it's handed to England as there won't be a great deal of time to build new stadiums. Group stage matches could be played at packed BPL grounds around the country, rather than just a few as is usually done, There looked to be a few empty seats in Brazil during the group stages. Knockouts onwards still at the big stadiums. FIFA would never let it happen though, unless Seb Blatter got all the profits from pie sales.

The FA are stuck with Wembley because without England internationals it wouldn't be viable. I agree with you about taking the national team round the country, in my opinion that soul-less place should never have been built. The atmosphere at England games was far better when they played on league grounds, and we'd have the added bonus that the England Band would probably have the sh1te kicked out of them in a more sensible corner of the UK.

Yup, we held an England U21 game when Peter Taylor was in charge of both City and the U21 team, full ground, great atmosphere. It did actually surprise me at the time the ground was full as it was an U21 game.

On last nights match, how dreadful can it get? England were slow, boring and predictable. I doubt if they'd have a prayer of bagging a Champion's League place if they played in the EPL.

Yes - and Woy said they had good movement in the first half.

Maybe they did - shame they were doing it at half-speed.

They aren't going to loose two on the bounce! The Argies spoilt it for you.
