    Looking forward to the Blackburn game especially after an enforced break of rubbish Internationals.

    Couldn't care less about the England set up. And to think it gave the whole nation such a lift back in 66.

    Those over paid primma donnas have ruined it for me.

    My oh my, I've just spent a few minutes reading all the comments on the Blackburn managers comments on the link in #2 above.
    Nobody has a kind word to say about him. I've never seen so much vitriol about a football club manager. But then what would you expect from supporters of a team BRFC who play in blue and white shirts!

    To be honest the England set up is one big joke,From the hierarchy to the players a big shambles.
