I know signings are irrelevant. Similarly, drilling - he won't get time on the training field at international level either. The main reason I don't want him to be England manager is that I just think, despite all the style and charisma of the man, that when push came to shove, his answer was far more basic - to lob it up to Drogba. Just like we were lobbing it up to Crouch last night. I don't like it and I don't want it.

He's compentent enough. But for the amount of money he spent, he still relied on Ranieri's players, and the hoof to Drogba. And they never made an impact on the champions league. Dont care what the league table said, he's nowhere near the level of the top bosses like Taggart and Wenger. Not sure what his budget was at Porto, when he won the UEFA Cup and Champions League two seasons on the bounce, but i doubt it'll have been over-much. Yeah, he did a good job there. This is a bit silly anyway. Just a question of semantics over what "Really good" means. IMO, Arsene Wenger is really good. Jose Mourinho isn't.

Lampard doesnt merit such treatment. After 4 years of utter pish, he should be brushed aside, not made the heart and soul of the side. Well, usually i wouldn't disagree, i'm sick of Lampard. But if it were Mourinho, it'd be a bit different i would have thought. For me getting owt out of Lampard is the only "for" I can think of Mourinho beyond the obvious competence. There are other managers with more ticks in more boxes (Scolari!!!). Choosing Mourinho ahead of other candidates (Scolari...) because of that...well. It would be a little silly. I'm not saying that i'd have Mourinho purely because he could rejuvinate Lampard. I was just pointing it out as an odd reason to suggest not appointing him... I'd have Mourinho because he's a really good, successful manager. No he isn't. Succesful, yes. But he's not really good. Lampard doesnt merit such treatment. After 4 years of utter pish, he should be brushed aside, not made the heart and soul of the side. Gerrard has been absolute shit for England recently aswell though, but he somehow avoids the same criticism Lampard gets. I know what you mean about Gerrard like. He always gives the ball away trying to pass the ball 676 million miles. SIMPLE FUCKING PASS YOU SPACKER. I've had enough too. I'm in favour of easing both of them out.

Well. It makes a difference for someone in the public eye to swear when they make the point. I don't think its owt new. Rather typical display of crassness for that classless cretin tho.

He's right. We all know it. Bit rich talking about egos tho. They dont get much bigger than that cunt. PS, yes he definetly said shit.

Jose Mourinho is not the man. Not unless we want the team centred around Lampard, reliant on hoofing it up to a big centre forwared, and thoroughly outclassed every time it comes against a technically superior opponent, just like Chelsea in europe. The guy has presence, but he's one of the most overrated managers ever as a result. The man for the job is blatantly Scolari. Proven sucess in international football. We'll need a caretaker for 8 months or so - hopefully someone absolutely clueless who has no chance of usurping Big Phil. (Me tbh.) Only doubt in my mind is would an outsider by ignorant of the performances of Gerrard, Lampard, Barry and Hargreaves, and not realise what team he should be picking.

Good old Becks. His legs might have gone, but he's still king of the "Y'knows". Tomorrow 8:30. Listening to 5live. Apparently Capello wants the job.

Probably the corporate sponsors Just heard McClaren interviewed. He's really determined to cling on to this job/not give up his pay off Not suprised. Honestly. Who else is going to give him a job. The world and his wife not only think he's shite, but I don't know anyone who actually doesn't think he's a complete cunt. The smirky twat.

Been said for years that Lampard and Gerrard can't play together. Tonight I think its gotta be said that they can't play. Full stop. Lampard, fucking pish. Gerrard, too hollywood. Negative influence all too often. Dump the pair of em. Build the team around Barry and Hargreaves. Team for WC 2010 qualification: GK? Who knows. Richards Ferdinand ? (King???) Cole. All good enough. Terry isn't despite avoiding tonights debacle. Neville, Campbell too old. Barry Hargreaves. Reward good performance for England ahead of reputation of the pair of billy big bollox timewasters. SWP Rooney Young. Or Bentley. Beckham is finished now. Ashton. Rooney. Owen? Crouch. McClaren can go forth and multiply. Get an intelligent manager who emphasises control ahead of all this fucking hoofing.

Fuck that. Id rather the FA go straight for Bilic.

Got what we deserved. MotM, as is customary, was teh Manchester City right back. Different one this time but there you go. McClaren out.

I fucking knew it.

He's no Wayne Bridge like

Just signed his own death warrant.

Subs? Bridge and Lampard, off. Bent and err....Defoe, on.

Has Lampard touched the ball yet?

Ooh goodie, we're relying on Andorra now.

Is it just me or is this really funny.

Bring back David James.

Good selection IMO. Well done you smirky twat. They've got Vedran Corluka at RB. Was hoping he'd play centre half. Got me eye on Modric tho. He's supposed to be tres good.

Any hopes of offloading Ameobi in the near future disappear into the sunset... They also got a left back from Derby so you might be stuck with Babayaro a while yet...
