Well if you're happy with unbeaten qualification in a very poor group then failure once they get there fair play to you

julian, it's difficult to have a discussion with people who persistently ignore half of what i write.

at no point did i say that i'm happy with what you suggested. for me, like you and everyone else english, england can never be good enough.

all i'm trying to say is that in the international arena, england are way above average, and therefore not crap or utter toss as they've been described. not good enough i accept, probably boring, but not crap.

England will qualify for every future Euros
Thry will also qualify for most of the world cups in the future
But to be taken hss a force again they must be competing at the sharp end.
We really cant take to much notice of our qualifying group so i will judge them on recent Finals.
And we are.bang average

i shall bow out at this point, reluctantly accepting that you and glp don't understand the meaning of the word "average", along with certain others.

no, no, no. you are failing to see my point, as is glp.

i've said repeatedly that i'm NOT happy that england are not better. evidently you, like glp, has some sort of blind spot to the places i've written that.

what i have said that is on the spectrum of international teams, which is where england compete, they are NOT crap. they are one of the better teams, but NOT the best. and i do want the to be the best, but not being the best does not mean they are crap.

if hull city had won 20 and lost 2 of their last 30 matches, you wouldn't be saying they were crap.

let me put it like this:

PRACTICALLY EVERY TEAM NEAR THE TOP OF THE RANKINGS LOSES WHAT YOU CALL "THE BIG GAMES".

it's a knockout tournament. it's unusual for more than one team to go through such a tournament undefeated.

take the last world cup:

brazil lost in the semi-final. that was a big game. they lost seven bloody one! holland lost in the other semi. another big game.

italy lost in the final. games don't come bigger than that.

holders spain didn't get out of their group. nor did italy, four time winners. nor did russia or portugal.

only germany didn't lose a match. does that make all the other teams crap? of course not.

FFS give it a rest. You're boring. The only people that agree with you have zero credibility with regards to footballing matters.

You are wrong, accept it and move along.

I was a bit miffed that it was locked, I had been at pub and wanted to reply to a couple of posts. But not the end of the World.

Me too - I wanted to make a reply to a post that had nothing to do with religion.
 
Yesterday, I had to delete lots of posts that were completely unacceptable and quite frankly I have better things to do than sit on here all continually waiting for posts to delete.

It's also not easy, you delete some of the worst and those posters deleted want to know why you didn't delete the others that were borderline. Everyone knows the rules, yet several posters seem incapable of following them, which is disappointing.

I've sent out several PM's asking people to desist, some have been ignored, some have apologised and some have simply told me to **** off.

I'm trying to be as reasonable and flexible as possible, but some posters really don't make it easy.

Watching England against a major football side is unreal......we just go into the game seemingly confused, tactically inept and scared half to death....we certainly seem to suffer from a major inferiority complex...

do piss off, there's a good arsehole.

i hope you have more sensitivity than to tell the teams that you coach that they are awful, embarrassing and utter dross when they only manage to finish 10th in their divisions.

Most people appreciate your efforts I'm sure but the alternative is to not police it at all. I sometimes think the true ****ing twerps are saved from shame and embarrassment by the Mods.

I was really just explaining why I'd closed the threads, rather than deleting specif posts, as had been suggested earlier in the thread.

The odd bit of grief goes with the territory, it's no big deal, I just thought an explanation might help some better understand the thinking behind the decisions.

i wasn't even talking about football, it was about maths, but if you can't understand even the most basic of concepts at your time in life, it's pointless trying to discuss them with you.
