Barney Rubble
International Coach
Right people - tabloid stings, broken feet, oversized strikers, too many centre-backs, and Owen Hargreaves. Discuss.
I just can't help myself but point out the sheer hilarity of the fact that you've put an apostrophe in "needs".Cloete said:
That's all that need's to be said about Sven being caught!
Would have been funny if they could have got him to call Becks as well
Otherwise, great team. I have a feeling they'll choke though, they always do. However with the quality of players they have it "shouldn't" happen!
When I switched on Sky News earlier they went live to some school where Sven and his tart were doing something or other for Football for Unity - I had to chuckle at all the hacks who had made their way over there hoping for sound byte over Sunday's 'revelations' - and of course they were all totally ignored.Scaly piscine said:I still can't believe how many average muppet football zealots (I think we need a universal abbreviation to use on cricketweb for this subrace, all suggestions welcomed) are going on about how News of the World's sting is such a destablizing influence on England's preparations for the World Cup... what preparations?

For instance, only the other day I wanted a quarter of those shrimp sweet things and those candy bananas we had when I was a boy. I gave the girl behind the counter a shilling and she looked at me down her nose the kids nowadays they have absolutely no respect for the elderly. I think they ought to pick that Jimmy Greaves again - it was unfortunate how he got injured in the last World Cup but that West Ham player Hurst, he did well. Got three in the final against the Bosche - ha! That'll teach them for scaring my sister Emily when that Hindenburg flew over. Mister Ramsey, I'm sure, will have everyone ready but I think Brazil will take some stopping. Someone said the other day that they thought that.... I'm sorry, what was the question again?

I was referring to the preparations 'now' whilst all the players are busy playing club football...marc71178 said:Erm, the last 2-3 years?
He'll go immediately after the World Cup - and for the last year, that's always going to have been the case.Tom Halsey said:I can't see how Sven can stay now to be honest. Whether the fake sheikh was entirely within the spirit of things or not, if you go around slagging off your own players, you've got to go.
Agreed that to appoint a new manager now would be bonkers, but I had previously had a feeling that he might stay (I hoped he wouldn't).luckyeddie said:He'll go immediately after the World Cup - and for the last year, that's always going to have been the case.

He's been wanting to manage a club again for the last year...Tom Halsey said:Agreed that to appoint a new manager now would be bonkers, but I had previously had a feeling that he might stay (I hoped he wouldn't).
However, due to his latest screw up, I now don't see it at all.
Not really, England need Rooney to play like a god to have any sort of chance under the vegetable. The chances frankly go up if you randomly replace him with any manager from in the English league. The vegetable has already shown he's not up to it, at least we don't know yet which other managers in the English league aren't up to it.luckyeddie said:He'll go immediately after the World Cup - and for the last year, that's always going to have been the case.

There's been reports of it for way, way over a year. Has he left yet? No.Matteh said:He's been wanting to manage a club again for the last year...
Pure and utter rubbish.Scaly piscine said:Not really, England need Rooney to play like a god to have any sort of chance under the vegetable.

What happened in the last 2 tournaments? Brazil are better than they were 4 years ago and England won't get teams even as bad as Portugal to knock themselves out against. If England do anything it will be in spite of the vegetable.marc71178 said:Pure and utter rubbish.
