The empire was gone, and the world had passed on. The colonies became independent, Europe became a community - and in 1953 the Hungarians came to Wembley to wallop the founders of football 6-3. And did we learn?

Did we fuck. We stayed on our island, growling behind our nukes with our thuggish dirty streets, our polluted beaches, our hospitals where the rain comes through the roof, and our schools that can't afford to buy books - we stayed on our island with our fading industries, and our 4-4-fucking-2.

@MDK that.....was.....beautiful. So poetic. :crying:

It's from All Played Out, a book about the 90' World Cup. Well worth a read. Also made into a film, One Night in Turin,  but read the book, it's miles better.

We don't have any problems with qualifying. We can beat San Marino and Andorra <_<

It's when we get to actually tournaments we shit the bed. 

That used to be our problem. Now we've got to qualify with a manager not used to being a favourite.

Big Sam is expected to name Paul Clement and Sammy Lee as his assistants, and his first game will be an early September friendly against Croatia at Wembley. 

Allardyce cancelled plans for a Wembley friendly against Croatia on 1 September, preferring more time training with a squad that flopped dismally at the European Championship. He announced his former assistant at Bolton Wanderers, Sammy Lee, had rejoined the England coaching staff. Talks are continuing over a part-time coaching role for the Bayern Munich assistant-manager Paul Clement, and the sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters will be approached to work with England’s senior team again.

He also refused to immediately confirm whether Wayne Rooney would be staying on as captain.

As a striker at 30 and with already decreased form, they should be questioning whether Rooney should even make the make the team for the next tournament, let alone stay on as captain.

Interesting approach. Is there a WC qualifying match in September?

The day will also see songs from 1966 rearranged and performed by the likes of James, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Squeeze, Reef, Lemar and the Troggs.

A fitting tribute to 50 years of failure.

Wayne Rooney will also boot a cat up and down the street in honour of Bobby Moore.

Dr. Steve Peters told Rooney to release his 'inner chimp', so Rooney shit into his own hand and threw it at Harry Kane.
