    I could not give a flying **** about England. I'm Welsh and sick to death of being told that you won the World Cup in 1966

    "England fans are always there, 1st, 2nd and last. You being one"

    Can't take credit for that anymore RP, I haven't been to an England game since South Africa, I lost some desire too but I will always want my country to do well at any competition.. no agendas. thats just the way it is and always will be.!!

    'Wembley is plastic, the support is plastic.
    A parallel to that on the pitch is Mr Head and Shoulders in goal. As for the rest some of them are absolute ...'

    Seems like they deserve each other.

    'but I will always want my country to do well at any competition.. no agendas. thats just the way it is and always will be.!!'

    And me.

    Funny. I didn't get that impression listening to Sturridge waxing on about how he was looking forward to getting it on come Friday. And his face looked genuine.
    No, I think the players hearts are mostly true, but exhaustion and repeated exposure to the stark and uncomfortable fact that we dont have a world class team probably take their toll.

    Fact
    England havent had a world class side since 1996, the last time we had a player with the wit, confidence and ability to run an international match from the midfield
    Fact
    England havent had a potential world cup winning side since 1990, the last time we had a player with the wit, confidence and ability to run an international match from the midfield

    'Funny. I didn't get that impression listening to Sturridge waxing' about his trip last month to the Ukraine.

    And surprise surprise he played for Liverpool a few days later at Swansea - obviously 1,000's of miles closer.

    Rickster - what are you like.
