Relax, it's all the fault of foreigners in The Premiership and once their numbers are capped, England will be victorious once more!

Don't be misled by the fact that England haven't won a major trophy since 1966 whilst foreigners have only become widespread in the Premiership in the last 10 years or so.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the current England squad contains some of the best players in the world and is surely one of the strongest ever; managed no less by the man who took the mighty Middlesbrough to glory in the Carling Cup!

England have world class players led by a world class manager and this travesty is not to be laid at their feet.

No, my friends, this debacle is the fault of Johnny Foreigner! Enoch was right, we must send the blighters packing so that our highly talented squad of players (who cannot be arsed as they're getting paid anyway and their club fans still love them) can once more shine under the leadership of their tactical genius of a manager (who couldn't coach a pub team)!

Cap the bounders, I say!

I liked Lawrence Dallaglio's comment referring to The Andrex Premiership because it is soft and unnecessarily expensive :grin:

Maybe this will be the wakeup call that English Football needs. The whole structure needs revamping starting right down from Grassroots level and right upto the FA. The sacking of McClaren is just a quick fix.

Barwick has been put in charge of a "'root and branch review' of the England set-up" and will be able to appoint McClown's successor.

Only problem is he is the chimp who gave McClown the job in the first place, and unless his review includes getting rid of himself for his bad choices, I can't see what good it is going to do....!

Aye, some of the rugby lads are fecking genetic freaks. I had a drink with Jason Leonard and Ben Whatshisfae who used to play number 8. Jason's just a brick outhouse. They look a bit porky on the telly, till you get close to them and see that it's just slabs of muscle.
Wow - that sounded sooo gay :)

Jup, was at a hotel earlier in the year and the Saracens turned up as they were staying there overnight before a game. These guys were man mountains!

Nice shot of the team someone e-mailed me :)

Are others out there though keen on other sports getting more time on "sports" shows though ? Fed up of seeing these sports shows give 29 minutes to football and 45 seconds for something else to show they are interested ...

Stupid is as stupid does
2m quid for being shit at your job. It beggars belief. I'd get the sack with no money if I was shit at my job.

When will the FA learn? That's a rhetorical question because the answer is never. Brian Barwick is a useless cunt, as are the rest of the FA (stands for Fucking Awful). They all need to fall on their swords as well.

On the positive side, at least we don't have to stare at McClowns shit eating grin so much anymore.

Appointing a man very few English fans wanted in the role then having it fail so disasterously prehaps might make them think 'you know what, we really don't have a clue what we are doing' - I doubt it though :p

Over here, there are rumours that England will try to hire former german team coach J�rgen Klinsmann for the position.

I don't really see that happen, as I expect choosing a german for Englands team would have a lot of the more conservative fans up in arms. Also not sure good ole Klinsi is up for it.

However, I am curious as to what you lot think about that choice.

He is ruthlessly efficient, a nice guy and a good coach.

As long as he doesn't invade Austria I think he would do ok.

I read an article this morning on how McLaren's fauilure has cost teh UK up to 2 billion in 2008 imaginary money because of how the cup would affect the sales of:
- Beer
- Football Shirts
- Sports Equipment
- Garden Furniture
- The effect on our economy for not having that "feelgood factor"

I couldn't help but stare in amazement at the article. Are they seriously saying that this country's economic stability depends on that bunch of monkeys?

Musing #1
Maybe, just maybe, they can offset this 2billion against:
- Reduced policing bills
- Reduced NHS hospital bills
- Reduced house / car / porperty reclamations by bad debt
- more lolz

Musing #2
I wonder if the firms involved can claim compensation from the FA?

I've never understood how it can cost the UK up to 2billion, without buying the Beer/Sports Equipment/Football shirts would that not save the UK population 2billion which will now stay in our back pockets? rather than it being spent on crap we don't need....which is all imported anyway.

It'll hit Umbro hardest. A England match on TV is like a 90 minute advert for their shirts.

Wear Umbro : earn millions, shag wags, no footballing skill required!
