In fact i might get down the bookies and put a fiver on a boring 1-0 or 2-0.....another Terry header winner or Owen penalty or something dull like that. I'm beginning to wish i was Welsh!  |

I might be "negative" fisheye but at least I'm a realist. in my opinion we have to beat croatia at home and russia both home and away if we're to qualify automatically, and that wont be easy cos Croatia are still unbeaten under Bilic and Hiddink seems to be finally getting the Russians playing. in fact I would say england are the outsiders to qualify despite having players like john terry and steven gerrard. what is there to be positive about? Mclaren out!  |

And I know we were always going to let a goal slip in, but Beckham transformed the England team on Friday. He was not fit and not up to scratch during the World Cup - and he's had a few points to prove with England and Real Madrid, but I just don't think McClaren is up to the job. After all, we are perilously close to not qualifying for Euro 2008 and that is unthinkable. |

I said we wouldnt beat them convincingly. ok I was wrong about that but had it not been for beckham I might not have been. My point about McLaren remains. If we beat croatia and get four points out of the Ruskies I'll take it all back and eat a big slice of the biggest humble pie you can cook up. But until that day I want him out |

To be honest I'm struggling to think of anyone english and I dont fancy another fpreigner. So as much as I disapprove of mclaren - a man one paper this week described as "a No 2 in the No 1's job" - you've got me stumped! |

None I reckon" I agree though, Beckham made all the difference, and it was far from convincing. Owen is certainly not the answer... he got lucky with the goal, anyone could have scored from there. |

What do you want me to do? - walk round with my pants around my ankles. And can I just say its slightly ironic that one minute you're slagigng me off but the next you're agreeing with me on beckham. Are you playing hard to get sarah? As for Owen, he's should still be one of the first names on the team sheet for me. And if you get rid of him who would you bring in? Dont say Andy Johnson, spare me that much. |

I dunno who will provide us with goals, although I think Beckham providing plenty of balls in the box for Crouch won't be a huge mistake. As for England Manager - Jose once he is booted! Anyone is better than puppet-boy Maclaren, he's not really the manager anyway, we all know who is calling the shots there! |
