    Well, those prawn sandwiches can get rather stuck in the throat, just when you're trying to let out a good bellow..! :D

    You can't just learn to win, you have to learn how to win

    I'd go a step back and say "you have to learn how to play (which in my view means mastering control of the ball) before you learn how to win.

    They keep it simple instead of showboating.
    They work for each other and not for their own overinflated egos.
    They play as a team and not as eleven individuals.

    In summary, they don't play like England!

    I agree with you and Brendy as well. The fans force Kelvin to send it to the half way line, we lose possession.

    And technically they are much much better controlling a football.

    This is also why Saints are doing better now...we have a team at last and not individuals (p.s. am not claiming they play like Spain..more like Brazil<laugh>).
