1-2 to Norway, '81.BoyBrumby said:I do not believe it.
Is Eriksson trying to get sacked or something? First the 4-5-1, then Rooney wide left & he crowns it off with taking off Lampard for that greasy permed Kraut/Yank no-mark. WTF?!?
To put it into some perspective, Northern Ireland are ranked 115 in the world. That's below Gabon, Rwanda & Turkmenistan. Jesus wept. Dunno if it's the worst competitive result we've ever had (losing to the Septics in the 1950 WC probably tops it, but that was 25 years before I was born), but it's up there....
Don't think you were ever quite as bad as 115th in the world tho. Not that they had ranking back then.Samuel_Vimes said:1-2 to Norway, '81.

You lost to Scotland at home. Equally poor, so you're not in the position to take the mick!Samuel_Vimes said:1-2 to Norway, '81.

i dont think theres any chance of him resigning or being sacked tbh.Neil Pickup said:Do the decent thing Sven, fall on your sword.

True up to the comma. Plenty of opportunity for you to take the mick off the Norwegians...particularly our backs (of which we have precisely zero)Neil Pickup said:You lost to Scotland at home. Equally poor, so you're not in the position to take the mick!

Your bloke's header for the second goal had a distinct "Keystone Cops" quality about it.Samuel_Vimes said:True up to the comma. Plenty of opportunity for you to take the mick off the Norwegians...particularly our backs (of which we have precisely zero)
Right. That's better as they were under Taylor, Hoddle and Keegan?BoyBrumby said:Your bloke's header for the second goal had a distinct "Keystone Cops" quality about it.
What I think is going to happen is that Scotland's revival under Smith will be used as a stick to beat Sven with: Scotland do better under a Scottish coach ergo England should get a proper, actual English coach. Unfortunately the "little Englander" mentality runs v deep in certain sections of our sporting press.
Yeah. & you'll note that our cricket team has gone to pot since that awful Rhodesian fellow took over too!Samuel_Vimes said:Right. That's better as they were under Taylor, Hoddle and Keegan?
Which is the sick, sick truth. I hope Sven goes, i really do. I was glad we lost because i know he cannot take this team anywhere now.sledger said:i dont think theres any chance of him resigning or being sacked tbh.
Come on sledger, take the spectacles off. Sure Rio went for the offside trap along with the other 3 defenders but your friend Ashley Cole was as much at fault. It was he that "should" have been marking as Carragher tried to point out. None of them stepped up in time.sledger said:thank god, sack ferdinand as well, just standing around as he does for so many times when man utd concede, tbh im glad england lost, in fact its a shame they werent really thrashed imo, highloghts them as the stupid overpaid idiots that they are, as piscine says the real sport starts 2mo.
