what a team

The FA can't do anything without fucking up, ever. The idea of them subtly manipulating Capello out the door is preposterous.

fabio we've had a meeting, john terry's not the captain anymore. okay mate.

marcotti's translation of capello's tv interview is that capello was asked about the fa's decision and if he agreed with it. capello said that he wouldn't have made the same decision because he believes in innocent until proven guilty but that the decision wasn't his to make because the fa deals with matters with regard to player conduct.

Apart from anything else, if the verdict had gone the other way yesterday, the FA would've brought about a situation where Stuart Pearce is the outstanding candidate for the job.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 9 February 2012 10:54 (fourteen years ago)
a lot of spurs players are good enough for england because england don't have many good players and whatever manager they choose that will be the case. I don't think gerrard/lampard get consistently picked merely on reputation but because they really are the best of a bad lot, or at least have been over the past decade.

― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 11:03 (fourteen years ago)
gerrard and lampard got picked because of their club form, neither of them has performed at international level and there comes a point where you might as well let some other poor schlub have a chance. individual ability not being the only mark of a class player, maybe pick blokes who can follow instructions and play for their team?

Lampard's been better for England than Gerrard?
― Charles Kennedy Jumped Up, He Called 'Oh No'. (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 February 2012 11:13 (fourteen years ago)
both pish
― dayove cool (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 9 February 2012 11:14 (fourteen years ago)
i think they've both proven that at club level also.
― Dr Frogbius (darraghmac), Thursday, 9 February 2012 11:14 (fourteen years ago)
xxxp to nv
still think becks should come back as captain
― Rosie 47 (ken c), Thursday, 9 February 2012 11:15 (fourteen years ago)
Don't watch England intently enough to notice how Lampard performs tbh, Gerrard is more blatantly shite

Harry Redknapp has declared that his focus is Tottenham Hotspur - despite being heavily linked with the England manager's job. Redknapp told the BBC News Channel that it would not be right to think about the England job. "I've never thought about it (the England job). They (the FA) will make whatever decision they want to make and hopefully be right for the country."
