England V Croatia wednesday week

[Publius Ovidius]

If Russia do the business in Israel, what do you recon to the following:

1. Will McClaren put out a full England team against Croatia, or do you think he will play some of the youngsters?

2. What will be the reaction of the crowd to the management and the team? I was thinking about the reaction we got in Andorra(?) when McClaren and the team was abused terribly.

3. What will be the crowd for the game?

Hopefully, if we are mathematically out, he will have resigned by then.

 

[Springal]

1) Who knows
2) It will be abuse tastic. I certainly will be, I didn't in Andorra, I did in Croatia but i defo will next Wednesday if we don't / can't qualify.
3) 75k i reckon.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

I reckon that if he doesn't resign the FA will keep him on. Looking at the long view so to speak. So thats us f***ed for a while.

Yup and let him f*** up the World cup Qualis too

 

[Knightsworld]

1. He'll play his strongest possible side.

2. I'll be giving him plenty of abuse / hopefully everyone else will be.

3. They say the game is sold out, but i reckon about 79K

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I think even if they do get through abuse should be thrown

 

[Scoffers]

I can't see him resigning to be honest, and I can't see the FA kicking him out, they are just too weak.

If we are mathematically out before the match, I'm sure there will be extreme pressure from players league managers not to risk their stars for a dead match, as a result the squad will be weaker.

The crowd will be low, without a doubt, but I'll still be going !!

I think anyone who calls Frank Lampard 'fat' should be thrown out for being RACIST.

Ill stick to calling Defoe a ****** then, much safer.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

If we are mathematically out before the match

Can we be? I don't know what time it kicks off, but we'll have to wait to see how Andorra get on before anything is official....

(not that there's a hope in hell of them winning)

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i think we'd have to put out a full strength side on the EXTREME(and i emphasise extreme) off chance that andorra will beat russia

i know it basically WON'T happen, but while theres a chance we have to try


oh, and once we're out, give mclaren and those JOKES of players HELL

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Nothing short of a pitch invasion will satisfy.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

to be honest, even if we DO qualify, we'll be an utter SHAMBLES come 2008, so maybe we should just save ourselves further embarassment and just bow out now

You are right though, it's mathematically impossible for us to be out prior to the match starting. Whether it's likely or not is irrelevant, but it's amazing how many people don't quite understand that!

 

[zefarelly]

theres probably a world clown convention going on next summer which is the real reason for failure, the manager and players didn't actually want to qualify

Is it me, or does Terry Venables look in pain when he has to sit and watch McLarens efforts

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

If Croatia lose to Macedonia we can go through with a 3-0 win as well

El Tel is as much to blame as Mcclaren.

Why did they both go to the same game yesterday when there was 5 others being played?

Of course, but everyone KNOWS that Russia will beat Andorra

Doesn't his contract run out in 2008? I could be wrong but that is what I seem to recall... and if it is they'd be very very brave (and obviously stupid) to give a new one to someone so roundly disliked and obviously not good enough.
