ENGLAND 3 RUSSIA O 12th SEPT 2007




The boys done well, no disputing that. Excellent performance last night against a decent side.
Is this a new era after the Erickson safety first half decade.
I don`t think McClarens the man to lead England, I don`t think he has the technical nous but if he goes on to win the Euro Championship then i`m sure he will become a national hero.
England look a better side without relying on Rooney, Lampard is the most overrated player in the country and Beckham should never have been re-called.
It is truly amazing that Gareth Barry has not played more for his country, I have been telling people that for years (not that anyone ever listens to me).
Michael Owen is a legend, I can not believe the amount of people who write him off. The two greatest sporting highlights of my life are Ian Bothams Headingly 100 against the Aussies in 1981 and Owens goal against the Argies in the 1998 World Cup.
In defence we look flashy if not solid, Ashley Cole does not convince me as a defender but I like Richards and you can`t argue with Terry and Ferdinand (well you could but they earn a lot more money than me and could afford good lawyers).
We should qualify now, we might not even need a result on the Astro-Turf in Russia if results go our way. We might even be joined by the chilly Jockos after their superb result in France
