C-man Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 We should have had Wenger, but that C U N T David Dein protected him from going anywhere near the job
Ultra Posted 12 October 2006 Author Posted 12 October 2006 What do you suggest, bring back Sven? And with a name like McLaren I imagine his roots are in Scotland and his brain's in the sodding ground with em. Sven - the guy who taught Mac all he knows (ie jack). I'd rather see the poison dwarf back on Leicester's payroll than Sven in the England dugout. We should have had MON - at least he knows how to play 3-5-2 properly. Our loss has definitely been Villa's gain!
Thracian Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 Sven - the guy who taught Mac all he knows (ie jack). I'd rather see the poison dwarf back on Leicester's payroll than Sven in the England dugout. We should have had MON - at least he knows how to play 3-5-2 properly. Our loss has definitely been Villa's gain! In any fans vote MON would have been manager by a distance. Which shows exactly what those self-serving arseholes at the FA think of the fans. But don't get suduced by 3-5-2's that too easily become 4-5-1 in reality. Put any numbers you like on it, McLaren went for dour defence and paid the usual penalty which wrecked England at the World Cup and which we all know about at Leicester. MON made 3-5-2 work because he had particular players to do a particular job and the great thing about MON is that he gets every player to do his job almost without fail. He an inspiration not just because of his obvious intelligence but because his sheer enthusiasm makes you love the guy. His 3-5-2 was so defensive it was often like a ram raid! McLaren will never be MON while he's got a hole in his arse to talk his shit through.
Ultra Posted 12 October 2006 Author Posted 12 October 2006 Can't wait for Hargreaves to come back - we need him! We have a whole midfield to come back - Gerrard, Lennon and Joe Cole too. This will mean we can finally ditch the appalling Lampard. Robinson's post-match whinge to the cameras annoyed me almost as much as the game did. "It wasn't MY fault " he bleated. Course it fcukin was you div, you took your eye off the ball, the most infantile of errors. As his namesake would say, "You are the weakest link, goodbye!"

I don't think Neville can be excused either - don't aim it at the goal you di ck!
Foxello Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 McClaren is not and never has been the man. Should have got Martin the Messiah when we had the chance but instead Villa got him and he's turning them into World Beaters But the FA cocked up....again
Floating Fox Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 Look at the players we have at our disposal. Look how they perform...... That is like saying that just becasue A team has good players means that they should win everything? You dont have to be the world's best team to win . I think Denmark proved that in '92.

Lampard is one of those whose place is guaranteed - makes you wonder how certain players get to play over and over again, no matter how crap they've been... perhaps another enquiry into corruption is needed.

One freak bobble of a ball and you want to drop him..... This is one reason we never play to our full potential. One mistake in a England shirt and your the devil incarnate.

Calamity James, the almost-relegated Scott Carson, Rob Green (what's he doing these days?) and perhaps Ben Foster. Hardly an overload of quality keepers.

lookwhaticando Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 Greens at West Ham. You'd think he'd get ahead of Roy when he's fit. Roy's dropped a bollock or two already this season.
Daggers Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 Wow! I'm agreeing with Ultra! Uh-huh, oh yea. Oh yea, uh-huh! I tell you, strange things are going on in football at the moment. It's almost like an End Of Days experience...
Joe. Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 Come on give Robinson a break. How often would you expect a ball to bobble up like that? It wasn't anyone's fault. Gary Neville was simply playing a routine backpass which went wrong, so whoever the muppet who said he was "aiming at goal" is talking a load of crap...
Finnegan Posted 12 October 2006 Posted 12 October 2006 Hahaha, genius from Robbo: What the hell was that?International football | England by Robbo Robson 12 October 2006 Paul Robinson Forgive me if I write a totally incoherent piece of ranting (for a change) but that England performance was shocking! Where do we start? Well I'm not saying I know my musicals, but let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start. Paul Robinson. At the World Cup he commanded the penalty box with all the confidence of a fat antelope in a lion's cage. He was jumpy as hell and a liability. In the first half in Zagreb, he kept us in it. He went missing for the first goal but then so did the other nine defenders, intent on ignoring the Brazilian Eduardo. (Incidentally, are we now officially the only international side who haven't got an ex-pat Brazilian playing for them?). Of course, the poor lad will be best remembered for allowing Gary Neville to finally get his name on the scoresheet. Neville can't score from two yards with the keeper missing but he can find a molehill in his own penalty area from 20. And if that's how partisan the moles are in Zagreb, it's no wonder the Croats haven't been beaten there for 2,000 years. Personally, I feel a bit sorry for Robinson - I don't think he could've done much about it, but he'll have to put up with seeing re-runs of that incident for years to come. The most worrying aspect of Wednesday night was the team McClaren put out. It said 3-5-2 on the tin but, let's face it, it was 5-3-2 at best and at worst 8-1-1. Bilic must have looked at the team-sheet and started putting the bunting up in the home dressing-room before the match started. The wing-backs were two full-backs. About as threatening a weapon as a fuzzy-felt knife. There were two holding players in midfield, and they were so bloody timid the only thing they were holding was each other's hands. Up front our cutting edge was supplied by those daring out-and-out strikers Rooney and Crouch. They simply don't work together. One of them has to keep Lampard company on the bench. Given that Rooney is probably our best player (and on a night of utter mediocrity, probably was in Croatia), perhaps Crouchy can come towering on late in the game, which was always his best position to my mind. Get a fit Johnson or Bent up front with Rooney and the Shrek-like one will at least have someone to aim for. But if we fans know this, why doesn't the manager? McClaren continues the Sven policy of asking players to do jobs they're not very good at. The England team probably get their meals cooked by the coach driver. It's no wonder Scholes won't re-join the squad. He doesn't fancy a stint at left-back right now. We've got five months 'til Israel away and someone's got to do summat. We'll have Hargreaves, Joe Cole, Lennon and Gerrard back by then so we can ditch the likes of Carrick and Lampard for the foreseeable. We'll be back to 4-4-2, no doubt, because when we play a different system we pick the wrong players. Rooney will be back to his best...oh s***, somebody stop me before I start getting stupidly optimistic again.

I rather think you should look again at the footage old chap. The bobble would have beaten any keeper in the same position. Agree with you on Lampard though. A shadow of the player at Euro 2004...

S'right, the divot was to blame and if the divot wasn't there we would have won. The divot also goes by the name of McClaren.
