It's ok you have *****************er on
Has made me laugh tonight that the thing you do most days to loads of posters has been done to you and you seem to have broken down into profanity.

I meant no harm, I was joking until you got sensitive and aggressive. Despite that, I carried on meaning no harm.

I think not606 has a helpline .
 
Starting to get on my pip seeing this season's kit plastered along
the sides of buses in Norwich along with the punch-line "Battle Ready".
Maybe, after our last two 'performances' we could get the
wording changed to "meek surrender" ? <grr>

How strange - I was just thinking the same myself when a bus went past with it on.
It's about time the team started living up to it!!!

4-0 against MALTA! Wow we've already got one hand on the World Cup. Probably play Gibraltar in the final and slaughter them 1-0 with the goal coming in the 570th minute!
If you have any hopes of winning a World cup and out classing Germany and Argentina then yesterday's display may have been disappointing.
We have a few decent players but no World class talent in the side.
I expect us to win this relatively easy group and roll over sides like Malta by 3 or more goals and we probably will and last night we did.

International football is not comparable to club football , if your team gets relegated the manager and players are usually replaced and if the custodians make a balls up of it then you can gripe .
All you can do with the England set up is replace the manager Swedish one Brazilian one Italian one etc etc and hope him meeting up for a week every few months will change our fortunes.

For people to moan about 7 out of 11 players as the team was announced then hope that the game finishes 0-0 so as to make a point, then perversely get annoyed when they score 4 good goals against a bunch of Cafe owners and amateurs is just petulance.
We are not World beaters and after getting ground down by tournaments every 2 years I don't expect anything and if it wasn't on ITV I wouldn't have bothered watching .

Yesterday's display wasn't disappointing, it was ****ing awful! I really don't know why we bother to enter any international competitions, we only end up embarrassing ourselves and look like a Sunday morning team that had been on the piss Saturday night!
I guess you must have watched it on the radio if you think that was acceptable!
Cliche; "there aren't any easy games anymore"
Reality; "yes there are and this was one of them"!

So what do you want the FA to do sack Southgate after a 4-0 win ?

Drop the whole team and keep selecting new players until they stumble on a combination that you like ?

England are **** get used to it but wanting them to draw 0-0 or lose to justify the criticism is just stupid.

You and IFML would probably be better off not watching next time if you can't handle a crappy 4-0 win against an amateur team set up to frustrate .

We only beat them 2-0 at Wembley, so this was a distinct improvement! :grin:
It was just a means to an end, it was never going to be pretty. We don't really breed good footballers here, do we. I watched Ireland struggle against Georgia out of duty, that was painful. Brady was ****e. At least we spent that 13 mill wisely, right?
