Its insane isnt it. Exact same scenario as Poland away.
My guess is that he's confused about whats going on with the mental headcase whose taken control of the microphone.
It's quite amusing watching England be utter shite. I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck about them. I think I prefer Rep Ireland - At least their strip is more interesting.
Isn't he just.
And only twenty as well.
I don't
Did our players come through it safely?
I didn't notice anything awry. Agger scored.
3.........2..........1............ aaaaand the truth now sets in that our season is over and it matters not who did or did not come through it safely.
I doubt it too. Would have been confident had we won tonight. I think our management contributed a lot to our downfall
Yeah, but it'll still happen, I just feel it!
Whatever you think. Personally I would prefer if all our players were available to us for the rest of the season.
Long was still causing the defense a lot of trouble with his movement and he was clever enough to draw fouls and break up play towards the end.
Sammon contributed nothing towards the end.
Trapp was right to bring on a centre mid for an attacker but the change was slow in coming and was probably the wrong midfielder on for the wrong striker
Yes but he played Greene out wide and pushed Walters up front. He should have brought Hoolahan on.
Trap fucked us over tonight. Just what has he got against Wes Hoolahan? It's getting beyond a joke at this stage. He should have been brought on to replace Sammon who was largely shit tonight. We needed a third goal and it just wasn't happening for us. Surely Hoolahan would've given us a better chance. For a lad as tall as Sammon, he's really poor in the air. He didn't win 1 50-50 header that I can recall, and the of the easy headers he did win, his direction was awful. Taking Long off was tactical suicide IMO. Him and McClean were our 2 best players tonight. I thought we defended really well too. Clark made an awful mistake which led to their goal, but he made up for it later on with a solid performance. I like Forde in goal too.
Another thing about Trap, he still had 1 sub left, and their was a stoppage in play about 2 mins into injury time and he didn't bring him on. I mean WTF? You don't have to be a footballing genius to realise that killing some time in the dying seconds when you're a goal is only going to help you? Especially when Austria were on top. He really sickens my arse at times.

Ha, no chance
That's insulting to kuyt, and I wasn't his biggest fan
Dirk got 93 caps for the Dutch so no chance . I guess you mean the defensive forward thing .
He's a budgie faced munter that I'm glad we are well shot of.
Vydra celebrated his Championship Player of the Year Award by getting his first 2 senior goals for the Czechs in their 3-0 win over Armenia.
Another youngster, Djuricic (Heerenveen) scored twice against Scotland for Serbia.

Oddly the reason why he has the job is because he is 1) English 2) "Safe", sadly neither of these things are helpful to actually managing a successful team.
He has no clue how to change and has not brought the team on one Iota. This wouldn't bother me so much if it weren't for his completely uninspiring lack of passion, I'm certain that for Hodgson his failure with us and indeed with England last night will be someone else fault in his mind. He just does not cut it does he.... that's the bottom line.
At least with Keegan you could tell he actually gave a fuck and knew he wasn't good enough.
In fairness, I think Hodgson's records with Finland, Switzerland and at Fulham and West Brom seem to show that he's a solid appointment for an entity with fewer talents and lower expectations. After joining mid-season, he led Fulham to escape relegation, and then took them in the next season to their best ever league finish (7th) and a Europa League final. After the failed Liverpool stint, he then took West Brom to their best ever league finishes (11th, then 10th) after taking over from Di Matteo with the club languishing in 17th. Those finishes have set the stage for Clarke to build on. I don't think you do that by being a shit manager.
However, expectations at Liverpool and England mean that dull and safe football that leads to being able to finish well enough in a competition is unacceptable. It's a strange appointment by the FA, and after Liverpool (and Inter), you'd think Hodgson would've known better. He'd be regarded as a success if he managed the likes of Finland (again), Switzerland (again too) and a host of clubs like Stoke, Sunderland, etc. but put him in a top level team and country where you're required and expected to win trophies and he's just not able to produce.
