    I was forced to watch most of this by my girlfriend last night, luckily I had my DS as well. I'll have a say anyway even though I was rather pleased by the result.

    I'm not bothered about the manager getting sacked or not but its time a lot of those over paid over hyped show pony players got a kick up the arse and dropped. Gerrard and Lampard have never done it for England and shouldn't get another chance. Also get rid of Barwick the fat toss bag.

    Its time the players copped the blame for once though. Mind you the FA is ****e.

      The Sun are great aren't they? They alone already know that Grinning Red Bastard was sacked last night.

            Spot on , but hey lets blame the manager , the Foreign players, anyone rather than the so-called 'Golden ' generation of over paid spoilt brats .
            They might be good at the English Premership they’re not so great on the world stage. But that’s the problem with England and that’s thier ignorance , most don’t even watch world football , yet will always bang on that our leagues are the best to watch (they are if thats all you ever watch) , and somehow England have this GOD given right to qualify.

            Maybe when England wakes up and realise it only has a couple of world class payers , it can’t play the continental style of game , no group is ever easy , and never mind Scotland or Wales , England doesn't have much strength and depth hier self's. Then they may have a chance .
            Fact is British players are sh8t at holding on the ball, and passing . We're not as good as we like to make out, in fact onthe world stage were quite sh8t.

            At least the players will now have the year off . I'll bet they'll moan about not playing enough games now

              McClaren and Barwick can piss off and Lampard? well, a bucket with a smiley face on it would have contributed more.

When big club sides come-a-calling, managers would prefer the giant pay packet, media recogntion and attention they get there. I could never see any of the names mentioned in this thread just droping everything to come and manage a national side that hasn't a competitive match for nearly a year.
              Jamie Redknapp was on Talksport earlier and he said, if offered, his dad would take the job. I don't think anyone would argue with that appointment.

                  I'd love 'arry to do the job. I don't know why he isn't mentioned more often.

                    To me its only him or the chosen one that has a chance of fixing the mess that is England

                      That was perhaps the most shocking England performance I have ever witnessed. We just kept punting the ball to Crouch and hoping something would happen, which most of the time it didn't. Although I do feel a little bit sorry for Crouch, most of his headers when support did arrive were useless and nowhere near their intended targets anyway. If he had even 25% of Sheringham's cleverness and heading ability then he would be unplayable. As it is, he's just a tall bloke.

                      Changes need to be made from grassroots level, players need more time working with the ball with an early age as it is clear that we have a major technical deficiency compared to almost all the other major/semi-major European nations.

                        So I'm sure we all know who we'd like as England manager, but who's the FA likely to give the job to?

                        Must be a two horse race between Sammy Lee and Terry Venables.

                          Any manager that plays a 22 year old keeper who has never played in a competative international match before, in such a crucial game, deserves to be sacked though. For once it really was the managers fault.

                          We do have players who can run and keep the ball too, Joe Cole and Wright Phillips both do decent jobs becuase they are so full of energy. To be honest we just had the wrong team. I still dont belive Gerrard will ever ammount to anything as an england player but he constantly played him, they had no defensive minded midfielders really on the pitch last night despite the fact that they had a mostly inexperienced defense out there, and again, the pick for a goalkeeper was just the wrong one.

                          Sadly all those decsions were the managers though, so it was deffinitley his fault.

                            I thought Gerrard talked a god game but was shocking on the field. Where were his leadership skills?

                            Massive difference when Beckham came on, at least he looked like he wanted to be involved, speeded play up and had a bit of passion about him.

                            It's no wonder that I dislike football so much when this is the dross that is served up.

                              Huge faults being reported all on all makes and models. apparently England cannot be found anywhere in Europe.

                                What's the diffrence between the England team and Lewis Hamilton?

                                Lewis Hamilton has a ticket to Switzerland and a McLaren that works.
