Woo Hoo!

Pity we didn't have a decent manager and then maybe we could play decent football and who knows, maybe....... win something????
England have this bad habit of nearly always playing their friendly matches at Wembley, which gives them a huge home advantage and no matter who the opposition is seldom lose at home, this always gives a false indication of the true level of the side, so when travel off to the major tournaments and don`t get to the semis at least, everybody is deflated and disappointed.

I can`t believe how somebody with such poor English like Capello and after some of the perfomances the team have put out along with the inflated salary he is paid, is still in a job. If we got rid of Capello though, I see no obvious choice for the England job and I really can`t see the team playing much better than now also. The last time I ever really saw England play both attacking and efficient football was probably in Italia 90 and of course they had home adavantage at EC 1996, so that doesn`t really count.
