Un-be-lieve-able.

I'm just going to get on the phone to Don Fabio and tell him they need to go home ASAP - the future of the game is at stake. We can't risk doing well and ruining everything.

You've wasted your credit. The game doesn't have that risk.

Why? Do you think that English football would improve if we started to think we're the best in the world cos we fluked it?

oh, they did - along with being overly fat, never walking anywhere, being mummy's little boy who is the best at everything they attempt (cos mummy told them), having no drive, no ambition, no desire, and no sense.

Short of getting outrageous luck, it wouldn't be a fluke if we won it. We do have the ability to win it on merit.

Only if the other top teams urn into England while England turn into them.

And that WOULD BE outrageous luck.

We aren't the favourites quite rightly but we have one of the stronger squads in the competition

one of the strongest squad of players, a long way from matching that as a team.

and an excellent manager.

I don't believe I have claimed that England winning the World Cup would ruin the domestic game, or that anyone daft enough to back England who isn't English is doing so purely to please the British media.

so there you go then - proof enough of your fantasy.

They didn't even contemplate that scenario on Championship Manager. Managing to out-fantasize that is really quite a feat.

[beLIEveR]

At no point have I said we have shit players. What we do have are players that don't make a team.

[ampersand]

Well unless Scotland's African representatives set the world alight, if you're right we'll be knocked out by Germany during Glastonbury.

[eFestivals]

You are saying that out of the 23 players in the England squad (most of whom you are not calling shit), we can't cobble together a suitable eleven?

yup - the last decade has proven it.

These are just about all the same players (or at least, the ones who'll get a decent kick are). Why do you think they're suddenly going to make a team this time around?

[Tugger2k]

no people, your doing it wrong. do not distract him

i want neil to tell me more about how winning the world cup, that he insists we cant, is a bad thing.

come on, ive not got long before beer and supergrass and just want 1 last laughing fit

Because of having a better spell at Milan than Mourinho did at Chelsea?

Because he was the catalyst for Real's dominance in the late 90's/ early 2000s?

Because he won Serie A with a worse team than Lazio?

Or because he later returned to Real, winning La Liga against one of the greatest Barcelona teams ever assembled, with a team of overpaid, overrated players?

[ampersand]

Yeah, but he looks like Postman Pat. Don't let statistics get in the way.
