    I don't think it's just Spain we need to park a bus in front of.

    I don't think we'll see much of the balll against France or Ukraine either, and we never beat Sweden

    Should England do a Chelsea?


    Should England be good (or lucky) enough to reach the knock out stages, we could meet the mighty Spain.

    Would fans here think we should copy the chavs and park the bus in front of goal and try to snatch a lucky goal on a break in the dying minutes of the game? If we try to out pass them we will be massacred 6-0! Playing like the Chavs will be dire to watch and anti-football and we will globally condemned but doesn't the end justify the means? Would you care if that brings England closer to the Final?

    Any thoughts?

    (with apologies to you-know-who <ok> )

    I don't think they will or should as it is anti football and I hate it. Despite Chelsea parking the bus against Barca and Bayern Munich in the champions league, they were very lucky that it paid off as both Barca and Bayern missed so many chances in them games.

    Watching Poland V Greece and I seem to be spending all my time looking for a non white Polish fan in the stadium. So far no success, never seen so many white people in one place.

    Looking at the two friendlies it seems to be what we're trying to do. Atleast i hope so otherwise they were really bad.

    Ultimately when you are a less technically gifted side that your oppenents its what you have to do to stand a chance, and we are going to be the worse team in most of the games we play.

    It worked with the Chavs. Yep, they needed a huge dollop of luck <whistle>

    Fergie couldn't do it but I think old Woy can definitely do it <ok>

    ^^^^

    Is this the worse England squad that's ever gone into a tournament ? Also one with the least hope from the country's fans? You never know. With low expectations these pampered players may rise to their potential.

    Russia 2-0 up

    Incredible how Arshavin looks such a brilliant player for Russia but mediocre for the Arse.
