Shh.

I'm busy trying to summon the spirit of Agincourt.

Saint George!

You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line

They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get round the back

Catch me if you can
'Cause I'm the England man
And what you're looking at
Is the master plan

We ain't no hooligans
This ain't a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we can't go wrong

We're playing for England {In-ger-land}
We're playing the song
We're singing for England {In-ger-land}
Arrivederci its one on one

Come on Ali, Friday poetry should be in it's own thread and you have to write it yourself!

Vindaloo Vindaloo La La

damn ! with hodgson in charge england may actually win something AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I'd have loved a Pep, or a Jose.

I'd have been happy with a 'Arry.

Guess we'll have to make do with a Woy.

We've got the whole world at our feet
There's not a single team we can't beat
We ll be dancing in the street
Cos we got the whole world at our feet

I will as always really enjoy the Euro's as I do the World Cup, there is a routine that I follow which helps to this aim. Don't read the papers they are full of shite, don't listen to Linekar and Crooks they also talk shite. Don't expect to get as far as the last 16, then when we get to the last 8 or 4 you can party like it's 1999!
Pubs and football it's what living is really all about.

It's all so predictable though.

A few years back when Engerland went out on penalties on a Saturday afternoon, I couldn't bear to watch. I sat beneath the trees at Tring Park cricket club watching the first team in action, enjoying a picnic basket full of tasty morsels, consuming red wine in full measure and putting the world to right with a few other sages, from the comfort of our deck chairs.

We observed the Engerland faithful trooping towards the bar [occasionally letting rip with a chant or two] where the match was to be watched on the big screen. Faces painted and bodies draped in St George's crosses, I winced at their collective excitement and optimism. I had seen it all before, many times and anyway, this latest manager hadn't uttered the immortal Alf Ramsey words of, 'We will win the World Cup'.

When the match went to penalties we put on a car radio and to my great delight, realised that the radio commentary was a few seconds ahead of the tv pictures in the clubhouse.

As each penalty was taken, we old gits knew in advance whether there would be a roar of unbridled approval or a groan of dismay. It was as if time stood still.
Then they emerged from the building, bedraggled and depressed,heading off home to kick the cat.

We, who had seen it all before, gave eachother a knowing look, opened another bottle of red and got back to the cricket.

Cricket, I rest my case.

The squad named tomorrow.

Keepers - Hart, Banks, Shilts
Defenders - Rio, Neville, Neville, Des Walker, Big Sol, Pearce
Midfield - Lamps, Beckham, Stevie G, Nicky Butt, Peter Reid
Up Front - Shearer, Heskey, Ricketts, Cole (Andy)



With the options available to Roy, all of whom play in the world's greatest league in the history of leagues...

OUR NAME IS ON THE TROPHY

ROARRRR

Let's hope so, I reckon Russia aren't a bad outside bet myself.

Safer than Scotland.

We're still building for the future, 2098 has been targetted as the year we qualify for a major tournament again. Personally I find this a tad optimistic but top marks for ambition.

Oh er missus! Usual stuff from England,technically and physically outclassed and found wanting in temperament as well.Hodgson must take some blame,Young should not have been on the pitch after half time let alone be taking a penalty,he was fecking awful from start to finish.Justice was done in the end,England's limitations sadly exposed and the barren talent pool for top level players revealed in all its harsh reality.

Agree with above!

Just seeing Italy's control on the ball and movement makes you realise the gulf in class. England battle and scrap, but it could have been a two or three goal win if Italy could finish.

Ashley Young WTF,,,,
