Can only kick with one leg. And it's his bad one.

The other thing BSB is that we can't play the way Spain play. We are not good at possession football. The likes of Spain can go a goal up and then just keep the ball. What we did under Sven was to play well, go a goal up and then defend really deeply, but also in doing that only went on to keep...

Sven annoyed the hell out of me. We started brightly went ahead in games and looked quite comfortable but then got deeper and deeper as games wore on and let the opposition then dominate us. This meant that we in the end were clinging on to the games and the momentum was very much with the...

I wouldn't be too unhappy if Barry wasn't going ... if it were to be someone other than Henderson to replace him. Could Hodgson not risk losing Barry and giving a place to Adam Johnson? I know he's not a central midfield player but Milner can play there. To my mind, Barry, Downing and...

His record does look good on paper, but with the players he had at his disposal we should have done so much better. And if you recall, Sven did say we would win the World Cup under him. In that circumstance he failed.

Yes we did, but this is what England do. They put these sorts of performances in against these sorts of sides, win but don't impress, sit back, hang on to their leads and fail to inspire and then lo and behold, when it comes to tournaments they play exactly the same way against much better...

To be fair, I don't think anyone is sticking up for the bloke. I can also obviously understand all the vitriol too. If McCormick now though does vigorously campaign against drink driving that can only be a good thing and if he can do so from a high profile position of a footballer then all the...

Right. With you.

Interesting that Downing had that one great cross and then you wouldn't even know he's been playing since. England started off okay but it's been the same old England since. Sloppy, lacking ideas, hanging on and un-inventive.

Not like you to sit on the fence, Houch.

You can at least give us a hint. Otherwise that doesn't mean anything.

Sorry, what did you say? Couldn't read any of that.

It was a toss up between the Eurovision and sticking red hot pokers into my eyeballs. I now have no idea whether or not I have spelled any of this correctly or not.

Very, very important that he did show remorse, Torch. Makes one hell of a difference in terms of rehabilitation. You would rather he showed no remorse then? :thinking about:

Don't mean owt. They said the same about the Red Baron and look what happened to him.

Agree. The sentence should have been about 7 years and he should have served 7 years. Then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Not McCormick's fault he got let out early though is it.

Excellent post Sutty and fully agree.

Everyone to a man seems to be saying that Downing had a terrible season and yet here he is!! Incredible.

Dear me that looks dreadful. Half of me hope Downing has the worst game of his career and that Adam Jonson comes on to score a hat-trick. That 11 tonight looks one of the weakest England teams in living memory.

Nowt like putting a spin on things is there. No-one has said he is wonderful. And the statue stuff is pure nonsense. He's done his time, has showed remorse and is a free man. Not sure what else people expect from him. If you;re angry be angry with the system that allowed such a short sentence...
