Steve McLaren RIP

Also, hopefully Rafa would bring the glamorous, sexy, high-scoring brand of football that's made Liverpool so popular amongst neutrals to the England team.

Can we have a sarcasm indicator? I'm losing it here. Something like an (S) would be nice.

You certainly won't be getting anything glamorous, sexy or high-scoring from O'Neill or Mourinho.

They're both good looking guys, O'Neill could do with more hair though.

That's what managing Bobby Petta does to a man.

About time Steve Guppy added to that one England cap

<i>Peace 25/1 </i>

I am frankly amazed that Didcot Town manager Stuart Peace is in the running.

Hey Dave B (The Boyler), I emailed you via this thread, just in case you don't check your ILX connected email account!

The ELO football ratings still has Scotland as far down as #33. One place behind Ireland!

Don't Bring Me Down, Jeff

Don't Bring Me Down, Brian.

(Damn, his name wasn't Bruce Barwick, what the hell, used it anyway)

The FA should either

a) Run a Football Manager 2008 competition for the job; or

b) Hand over team selection and tactics to a bunch of Internet nerds with 50 quid each to burn

b) Hand over team selection and tactics to a bunch of Internet nerds with 50 quid each to burn

ILX?

I'm so happy it's Friday and payday I just skipped right into that one.

ILXors who should manage England as a committee:

Pipecock
Nude Spock
Ian Riese Morraine
Kate the Saint
ithappens

I wd bet cash money that they would achieve more than MacLaren.

they should make the England job the prize for winning fantasy premier league this year

Kate the Saint

oh that'd work! she'd abolish the team completely and make the players form bands instead.

They should give the job away with a DVD covermount of Trevor Brooking's Tactics for Dummies in the Mail on Sunday.

Apt as England appeared to be fielding a back four consisting of showroom dummies on Wednesday

I will still defend Joleon.

One of the players would claim that two of his team mates had died in the Munich Air Crash, he'd put on a testimonial match for them...

Ian R-M would be castigated for his dogged persistence in putting his mum in goal.

I will still defend Joleon.

That's apparently more than he can manage, fangyewfolksyouvebeenawunnerfulaudience

Penis Error Sank Sorry England

instead of singing 'Mila kuda si planina' ('You know my dear how we love your mountains'), he instead sang 'Mila kura si planina', which translates as 'My dear, my penis is a mountain'.

There's a great picture of a Croatian mascot smirking at that.

I wondered why those kids were grinning. I assumed they were English kids in Croatia tops and they'd found Lampard's sweet stash before the game.

I read "sweet stash" in a Cheech & Chong sorta voice there before I saw "Lampard"

OH NO O'NEILL DOESN'T WANT THE ENGLAND JOB THIS IS TERRIBLE

Our royal family on hearing the news:

http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/images/windsor/princes_fune.jpg

"DOES ANYBODY WANT THE ENGLAND JOB?" IS THE 2000s FOOTBALLING EQUIVALENT OF "DID ANYBODY EVER SEE THAT MOVIE TRON?" AND HARRY REDKNAPP IS PROBABLY CHIEF WIGGUM

HARRY REDKNAPP HAS SEEN TRON

Mourinho doesn't want it either. Don't think Capello will get it. Put a coupla nicker dahn on 'Awwy, alwight?

DEFAULT: TWO SWEETEST WORDS IN VEH FACKIN ENGLISH LANGUAGE

As in "it was all de fault of that Steve McClaren"?

I was gonna say what with 'Awwy being a little bit waaaaaaaaayy and a little bit woooooooooh, the FA might be wary of giving him the job but I forgot the gave Venables the job once

If, within six months of 'arry becoming England boss, there's not at least four guys from Sierra Leone who've suddenly discovered an English grandmother in the squad, I'll be shocked.

Redknapp won't talk to the Beeb, can you have an England manager who refuses to talk to the BBC? Or will Joe Jordan be still doing it for him?

I IMAGINE HIS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BBC MUST BE NEARLY AT A CLOSE BY NOW SO ONCE HIS NAME HAS BEEN CONCLUSIVELY CLEARED MAYBE HE'LL LET BYGONES BE BYGONES

'Arry becomes manager w/ Jordan as his assistant, who does the talking. Paul Jewell goes to Portsmouth. Sorted.

MORE ODDZ

Capello 7/2
Mourinho 6/1
Redknapp 12/1
O'Neill 14/1
Shearer 16/1
Benitez 20/1
Scolari 20/1
Klinsmann 25/1
Coppell 25/1

'Arry becomes manager w/ Jordan as his assistant

Jinky will be spinning in his grave!

Joe Jordan being touted as candidate for next Scotland manager by the jizzwads at Radio Clyde when Eck does the obvious thing and bugger off to be manager of Birmingham.

(lol at England fans trying not to sing "One World Cup and two World Wars" if Klinsmann gets the gig)

Lots of candidates for the Scotland job. Burley about to get sacked. Billy Davies about to get sacked.

Dream team = Peter Grant and Tommy Burns!

John Barnes and Josef Venglos

Wait, is Josef Venglos dead I forget?

Nothing wrong with Doctor Jo
