Nothing like a vote of confidence

Typical rent a quote doom monger. What does he have to do with football nowadays ? Sells pies at Upton Park or similar ?

He should know a thing or two I reckon....:rolleyes:

How many of you lot have played professional football, then...?:Erm:

None....:omg:

That's what I thought.....:icon_lol:

To be fair, England would not have qualified, not even in 1966, the only reason they did was as the "Host" Nation...:doh
That they went on to win, was just down to other Nations abysmal bad play.:erotic4:

The only game worth of any note is the actual final of an, otherwise, easily forgettable world cup year.:Brick:

Yeah, yeah... Italy got undone by a North korean goal...:Brick::crazy::angry:

But looking at the overall record where is England, compared to Italy, or even France...???:Erm:

It just annoys the crap out of me,ex players rubbishing the team,next it will be the press. We don't stand a chance with all the england bashers about.
England were a decent team in 1966 and even better in 1970.
The 1990 team was decent too:)
I think you will find france won it on home soil too:Erm:
Hurst is typical bullshitting ex player, get behind your team you un patriotic clown.
