that mong guy right re agbonlahor. he and i should be whipping them under 21s into badass shape. mejoke but meserious

sorry, not a regliar postie hereabouts but wtftonight?

I don't know why people in England bother watching football the way they moan about it so much.

Why else do you think people watch it???

YES WE SHOULD JUST QUIETLY ACQUIESCE TO OUR SUPERIORS EH?

Did anyone else think there was kind of an awkward moment in the studio when they were going over the second goal - Shaun Wright Phillips clearly substantially to blame, but Ian Wright being there the others weren't quite sure what to say.

Kind of like X Factor if Jack Osbourne auditioned.

There's that old comic book strip Peter Bagge and Alan Moore did about the life of the Kool Aid Man, and the punchline is that he can't stop smiling even when he's suicidal and really upset. That's what McLaren interviews remind me of.

Holy Shit I thought that was some Cthulhu-esque horror for a minute there

i wonder if he still wants to distance himself from the eriksson regime. it might actually beneficial to him now to have been part of it.

Why? Is there a coaching job going at Man City?

well not beneficial exactly, but he may want to remind people that he played a small part in a regime slightly (significantly?) less retarded than his own.

i mean: he was aware enough of the failings of the eriksson regime to want to distance himself from it, yet feels he his equipped to continue in the role, despite a significant drop in results.

Sven had a great record as England manager - I don't know what he thought he was doing when he picked the World Cup squad with no fit strikers though.

Although to give him credit, he was about the only person in the country who would have played Owen Hargreaves and he went on to have a fantastic World Cup.

-- AlanSmithee,

england had no strikers, fit or not. it was the rest of the squad that let him and england down.

I'm here from downtown. I'm here from Mitch and Murray. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's McLaren?

the FA have called an emergency meeting at 8.30am tomorrow

This is the emergency meeting that was reported in the papers last week, then. You gotta hand it to these FA boys.

Good old McLaren taking the heat off Darling and Brown.

Martin Jol for England manager!

Hmm... I think I'd rather keep Steve than see Malcolm McLaren get the England job. Other than that, a fair list.

It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgeory to remove our godamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!

God needed a manager for Birmingham

I'm pretty sure God bailed out on Birmingham some time back.

God needed a manager for Birmingham Ebsfleet

Y'know, I'm not sure we're giving this post the attention it deserves. Magnificent.

ZEE 10 POINT ACTION PLAN FOR ENGLAND

1. sack Steve McClown

2. Get rid of Barwick, replace with David Boyle

3. Bring David James back for stability ...If David James woz in goal tonight he would have known about Kranjcar

4. Bring in Matty Taylor instead of Scummer bridge

5. Bring in Glen Jonno Johnson at right back, he would have been up against Kranjcar tonite

6. Switch Micah Richards to Centre Back

7. Instal Harry Redknapp as part time manager with Jamie Redknapp as assistant and Louise as half time totty cheerleader

8. go web2.0 with rateyourenglandplayers.com - Social media and user generated content is the future

9. instal systems thinking courses, there is more than 4-4-2 or 4-5-1

10. copy Arsene Wenger's Arsenal Blueprint of quick passing football

DISCUSS !

My mind blew at point 8 and I was all like -3D6 against zings.

EVERY SINGLE ONE A GEM except #6 which is actually sensible and maybe #10 which is only funny because it turns up so late.

8. go web2.0 with rateyourenglandplayers.com - Social media and user generated content is the future

England to start with strike force of Darren Bent and Surfjan Stevens

I've already expressed my djmartian love. There is no more to add.
