Cheers dude. What if it were Chelsea players though. Good god we'd never hear the last of it. How much of a disgrace they are,how they don't care for the national team. etc.

Tbh spuz,even i've fallen out of love with the National team,even long before our car crash of a display at the world cup and with Postman Pat at the helm,i can't see things getting any better,and i know i'm not alone in that way of feeling.

I for myself away from England think that the Club over Country mentality is the right way.

I mean, look at our English brigade in the England-Team, nothing but abuse and targets for the press and all the so called football fans who know all so well.

but anyways:

Neville just a start, Van der Saar after this season, soon Scholes. Giggs though will die on the pitch alongside Fergie. So we have to put up with them a litte longer.

Hopefully United won´t find another top goalie like VDS anytime soon.

I did along time ago. I loved Italia 90,I remember the buzz of that even though I was only 12. Them Gazza t-shirts £1.99 from the market with a picture of Gazza on and the words 'They'll always be an England'. Then Euro '96 obviously and I loved France 98,I went to the heaving pubs to watch Euro 2000 and was fooled into believing that 2002 would be our year. But since then I've had enough.I'm not a fan of the Euro's anyway,I think it's an absoloute mickey mouse cup competition,no Brazil and Argentina and such make it boring,plus it doesn't mean half as much. If England were to win it in 2012 it would be like Chelsea winning the mickey mouse cup or Europa cup.

Until Crapello the goes things will not improve anyway and I couldn't care less,infact if Gerrard or Rooney score for England I get Irate I start calling them all the names under the sun,such is my hate for them two. Mainly because I know next day the papers and media will be having an absoloute fest over them.

Then let's not even get started on the pointless friendlies such as the annual one 2 games or less into the season,then qualifying games away against Andorra,Lichenstein,Kazakhstan and the like. Absoloutely pointless playing them to qualify for a pointless tournament,especially if our Chelsea boys get injured. The only time I get interested in England playing is when we get to the knockout stages of the World cup. But then we all know what happens when we get to the last 16 anyway :pwned:

If we ever were to win the world cup,it would be nice I admit,it would definately bring a feel good factor back to the country however give me a champions league win anyday

If his going into the media then the best place for him is the radio, that way we dont have to look at his ugly mug,
