One of my biggest hopes mate. If we lose I hope we can say Italy were just better. I would hate to see any player from this group make a mistake which costs us, non of them deserve that.
Just watching this piece on how managers have been undone by undercover media people. Got to say I think our newspaper media in the past have done much to undermine a chance of success. Sven wasnt a bad manager at all but they didnt want him to succeeed.
No offence but I think that BBC piece was all shyte. All National mangers take endless stick. Excuses are just excuses.
Sven would have struggled managing any British team because of the lack of professionalism that has infested the game for decades here. That culture is changing though and we're seeing the results.
You can go back through numerous managers and say they same. Euro 96, the knives were out, Italia 90 the knives were out by the press
Definitely. No bad performances, no dodgy decisions, var can **** off as well. If they beat us then fair play. HA'WAY ENGLAND YA BASTARDS
Well I was nervous on my wedding night. Not sure why you were nervous, didn’t think I’d invited you! But my wedding night was 2007. Cup final was 2014!
Henderson; control the controllables. Heard that somewhere closer to home, can't think where............
An hour to go, my arse is twitching like a rabbits nose. A chance, a dream to become hero's. Come on lads
No offence taken at all. This undercover reporting rubbish though proves the media have their own agenda and objectives for some and they take it to an unsavoury place for some. Dont mind criticism at all but when it manufactured to get people sacked seema a bit unsavoury to me.
It's probably the lack of sleep after a nightshift and the drink kicking in but I'm starting to remember watching England games with my dad. The hope of a positive result, he always took it with as pinch of salt but there was always that kick in the guts for me when we didn't win. The semi final in Italy 1990 when I went ballistic with Waddle blazing that penalty over the bar especially springs to mind. I would love it if he was sitting next to me now, watching this
