I was hoping for more banter from you Brits. But your post was too clever for me. I admit intellectual defeat... But proclaim sporting dominance. He he

I think we have beaten you the last 2 times we have played.
Northern Ireland beat us last year and the people in Northern Ireland will be talking about beating us for the next 25 years... Aussie football is in that bracket.
Originally posted by blade68You certainly seem to be getting beaten by alot of teams lately... You should probably get used to it.

Originally posted by blade68It's a bummer though that bad managers win you nothing, and good managers leave when they do. Italy missing Lippi for example. Aime Jacquet quit when France won the WC in 1998 (although they won Euro 2000 too), and Scolari quit Brazil in 2002.
It never ceases to amaze me how fickle football fans can be (and I'm as guilty as the next man!)
People were generally pleased when McClaren got the job - the consensus being 'that at least he's English'... and I thought getting El Tel in as right-hand man was a masterstroke. (Venables would've been my 1st choice for the job.)
1 draw and 1 defeat later ...[text shortened]... aggon... give the bloke a chance - we persevered with a character bypass Swede for years!
