The Poolie Bunker

Fooking pathetic !!

Croatia 2 England 0

The score flattered England.

I don't remember us ever playing as badly as that under Sven in a competitive fixture, I hope to God Maclaren is quickly got rid of, FFS he was shite at the Boro.

Six clean sheets in a row and he totally (for no reason) changes the system. I don't want to make excuses for the over-rated England players but not one of them plays in that system in club football.

Oh and is Carrick the worlds most over-rated player? Nearly 20 million quid for player who barely gets out of his own half, but according to the commentator we should marvel at his 'range of passing.' I have eyes mate and can make my own judgements and he is fooking shyte

That's why I've stopped caring for England. They should take a leaf out of Hartlepools book or most teams in League's 1 and 2, play with a bit of heart and some grit and don't get arrogant and over complacent.

Oh and I've never really rated Maclaren, he was regarded one of the worst managers a few months before getting the job but then he beats some teams like Xanthi, Dnipro and VfB Stuttgart to get to the final.

The only team that they beat in the UEFA cup that would cut it in the Premiership were Roma. They got destroyed by Seville.

And during that UEFA Cup run it was the players heart that won them games, Maclaren threw loads of strikers on and hoped for the best. Sometimes it paid off but at International level you get found out more with changes like that.

England are a joke. I read in the paper that we should be fearing teams like Croatia...why? We've got a stronger team than them. Why should be struggling to break down the likes of Macedonia?

Well it was that bad I fell asleep during the first half.

No doubt the tabloids will have a field day tomorrow but this time their criticism will be justified

it was awful

he's worse than sven imo

now i know why all my mates have been so depressed!!!

Where's our England correspondent,Mr Chip Fireball when you need him eh?

No point in me watching the highlights then eh?!?!

Didnt you tape the score on Teletext Mutley?

So what,a bunch of overpaid big headed tossers lose a game during a competition that will provide a back door opportunity for any TV ratings winners that drop a bollock anyway.

err....no!!!!

Ive just seen Cole's own goal...10 seconds after it went in,McLaren is sat there expressionless with a pen and paper writing things down FFS

Ummm, maybe you should write his notes, spud.....it was Neville...

Systems, systems, systems.

We have the players but last night was a Scott like performance where the players didn't seem to know which way to turn.

Well done kev,you spotted the obvious mistake,just checking your on the ball still

I was still spitting sparks about it. Have you ever seen anything like it?? It was embarrassing to be English last night and next week I'm going abroad. Can you guess what the first question everyone's going to ask me is??

No, Dibbs, they're going to ask why our National football team is crap.

I mean can someone tell Gary Neville that outswinging crosses onto the D from deep result in a clearance and breakaway for the other team?? Or can we just bin the useless bounder and put someone good in there.

It's time for a re-bore. If you watched the under 21s the night before they played like heroes. They were under seige for about an hour and there was some blood and thunder tackles flying about but they stuck at their game, had a bit of luck and then when the Hun were knackered we introduced Walcott who took them apart.

That spineless pile of shite last night aren't interested, Ashley Cole apart. Did Scott Parker even touch the ball?? And Ledley King is another Spurs sick note. They must have geisha girls in their treatment room at Spurs. John Terry disappeared. Skipper?? Don't make me laugh.

Agreed. I was that disinterested, I made a pizza from scratch last night while listening to some fine new band on BBC6 Music!!!

Because it tastes absolutely fantastic and is much better for you. Bread machines rule! Trust me, once you do it, you can't buy another one again!

Don't forget the album is now in the shops. I got one at Virgin yesterday but it's in HMV and Music Zone as well.

Pizza from scratch is much nicer than that cack they sell at Pizza Hut or wherever. It actually tastes of something that's not a cheese and tomato sandwich.

Two tender golden fried turkey fillets in Mexican seasoning are on their way down my neck as I read this.
Which makes me feel sorry for you pizza people.

Yes indeed, the new parmesan-free variety!
Anyway they've gone now.

No thanks, don't eat meat!
