What a load of shít. I suppose those embarrasing bedsheets made Gartside made the decision too.

The bedsheets were pathetic and proved nothing because 1) it was badly organized 2)not enough people were behind it at the time(including me) 3) It held absoulty no validity whatsoever when you could just seen 100 15/16yr olds in their trackies standing outside with their mispelt banners.

When the knives were out big time for Megson in those final two between October 09 and December 09 and he was often being loudly booed off the pitch, it was only a matter of time before he went.

Had after the 2-2 draw with Hull, and all the other shíte results, Blackburn, Wolves etc. we clapped the team off and cheered, and people kept going to matches rather than stop turning up then I'd predict that Megson would still be manager- or at the very least he'd have lasted longer than he did.

The players have come out since and have as much as admitted the fans never took to Megson and got him the sack.

Spot on whoever said that people now know how we feel when we had Megson in charge.

I actually wish we had a big team in our group then at least if we didn't qualify we'd have a ready-made excuse. Totally Inept, Totally Shocking - or in short, TITS. And that's the last time I'll even discuss England before Wednesday.

Thing is, Chris, I was expecting nothing from England in this World Cup. Wrong squad, poor players, depressing pre-tournament displays ....... yet even I was shocked at how bad they were last night.
Still, the fat lady is only warming up - so we could yet be proved wrong.  Couldn't we ?  Maybe ... ?

The other teams in our group (USA especiall) seem to want it more than us, they went 2-0 down yesterday and could have won...after seeing us last night we couldn't get 1 goal back nevermind 3.

The team needs breaking up after this competition IMO, get some new blood in who maybe are not as good but would give 100% every game for the country.

I'm going to be going back on that last sentence I put here but to be honest I didn't expect to win it or come close. But it doesn't matter who plays, who the manager is, England should be battering Algeria. Every time. But we all know that if we were against an Argentina or a Germany we would play really well and lose, then complain about how unlucky England are.

A bit like Bolton, motivated against the big sides, nonchalant against the teams we expect to win against.

It was more & worse than "nonchalant", Chris.
A couple of newspapers got it right. Re Beckenbauer's comment that England had regressed to 'kick and rush', one said : 'it was kick without the rush'. Another paper said : 'it wasn't kick and rush; it wasn't even that good'.

Or did I mean 'less and worse' .......

There's nothing wrong with 'kick and rush' in my eyes - if you can play it right. England can't, it's never been their style and whenever they've tried to adopt it we've ended up with a piss-poor excuse like this tournament so far.
