Quoted from Les Brechin
Still trying to digest that shocking performance and result last night.

What makes it even worse is that towards the end of the game last night Iceland had "A shot from a player who couldn't get in the Cardiff City team in The Championship since January and then the corner that followed was taken by a player who was relegated to League One with Charlton Athletic" and the England team are supposed to be the cream of The Premiership!!  


The cream of the premiership players are all from country's that arent England.

It all sounds too familiar, on a bigger scale to Grimsby!
"We should be beating these pub teams" etc
The national side need a manager who is capable of getting the best out of players, like a venables or a Bobby Robson. Someone with management experience also.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

True enough but it's interesting that the cream of the Euros don't play in England. The prem only gets the  lesser "stars" and Sky hypes them up as the best when they are far from it.

None of them are from Iceland though. Hull City should be able to beat them, never mind England.

Exactly so Rob.

Even allowing for the manager's mistakes there were enough experienced internationals in the side to sort out the game. You go 1-0 after three minutes and any pro manager or player will tell you the next 5 minutes is vital, the most likely time for an equaliser. So sit tight, get the ball, keep the ball, make the other side do the pushing and use the space. Rooney has 950 caps for goodness sake, surely he is capable of being a captain and settling the side down. The GK and CBs are experienced champions league players, surely they are capable of doing the simple things well.

But they didn't and once Iceland equalised the game was lost because they could sit back and let England drive themselves into a cul-de-sac. They did it very well too.

No need  to worry folks.  The FA are to launch a full review as to why it went so wrong.  Not sure how much it will cost, but if there's anyone from the FA that reads the fishy....

Send someone round to my house with a case of Carlsberg Export and we can get this sorted in one evening.

Or alternatively you could have a group of FA representatives fly to Spain/Italy/Brazil etc on a fact finding mission over the summer period.

I wont hold my breath !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Kane's set pieces remind me of Menno Willems.

As soon as I saw that Sterling was back in the starting line up with Kane up front and Sturridge out wide, I knew it would be a struggle. Then inexplicably Kane is back on set piece duty. Bringing on Wilshere at half time was showing the white flag. Rashford should have been on because he's too young and green to have had all the excitement knocked out of him yet and would just have played with freedom. I cannot believe how inept the management of the side was. I honestly believe that any football fan couldn't have done a worse job.
