Bloody Tossers!

England played Israel last night.

Here's soccernet.com's headline this morning: A Cure for Insomnia

And football365.com's headline is: Even McClown Admits: 'That was just not good enough'

England's midfield: Lennon (on the left), Owen Hargreaves, Fat Frank and Stevie G. Not that it really mattered. Just before I fell asleep I noted that the England defence were determined to bypass the midfield with their stupid long balls after 10 passes amongst themselves in their own half. Needless to say the midfield in the time I watched, when they did get the ball, looked hopelessly imbalanced and clueless.

All McClown did was stuff a bunch of players together. They looked fucking clueless. There didn't appear to be any prearranged strategy, plan or method.

A cure for insomnia indeed. I am an England fan. I nodded off after less than half and hour and went up to bed before half time.

1. Out with Fat Frank.

2. Steve McClown is a MUPPET.

3. Never mind Fat Frank. Get a manager who isn't afraid to drop Fat Frank.

It appears as though McClown has somewhat of an obligation to only field players whose name are more prominent in the EPL. Just to confirm that he isn't all that, this England line-up seems too similar with that deployed during the WC. Anyone can remember the nightmare of the campaign in the form of Lamps'. And with AJ upfront? Who would have thunk?

Depressing days for an England fan. I'm not a fan, but its hard not to notice every single thing that they are doing due to them headlining every major football websites e.g. F365, Soccernet...
