I doubt it and I sincerely hope not. What's wrong with the England management set-up is that it's the wrong way round. Venables should be in charge with McLaren underneath him.

As for Steve Bruce, well he's obviously surplus to requirements at Birmingham once this takeover goes through so he might as well go somewhere where he's wanted.

So McLaren and the England team got lucky with the results at the weekend. But I can still see us screwing it all up by losing on Wednesday night. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory so to speak. Am I being a tad pessimistic here?


England 1 Croatia 2

Croatia have been rock solid at home but don't travel so well and have recently failed to beat the likes of Macedonia (yeah I wonder what that's like), Japan and Malta away.

It being Wembley I think we'll do it, but am not expecting it to be anything less than shredded nerves time.

I can't believe that we are so happy about the fact that another country has (possibly) done us a favour. It just shows you how low we are now setting our sights/expectations. And worst of all we are now lumbered with that log of wood known as Mclaren, for the forseebale future. How cruel is fate eh??? :'(

Exactly right! I think we'll get there, but we don't really deserve it... Having said that, the table doesn't lie, so if we qualify then we've done better than the team in 3rd.


Thing is, there are big changes needed, and no one seems brave enough to make them. The FAs answer seems to be either through money at a problem, which never works, or give the job to a "safe pair of hands" that will never improve. It's depressing, and worse of all Lampard seems to have gotten his starting place back!!!

Thankfully the international break will be over by the weekend, so here we go

Fulham 1 v Blackburn 1

West Ham 2 v Tottenham 2

Of course I do, but Arsenal are at home, against a Wigan side who won't be feeling fatigue, just think they might make a match of it. I've still given you the win!


Liverpool will have some tired players too, but there always seems to be goals in the Newcastle matches.


Chelsea may be tired, but the simply can't lose to Derby.

I hope so. Most of the games look good for entertainment value. The Arse and Man Ure are scoring for fun at the moment and not letting much in and as you say yourself Newcastle v Liverpool is generally a high scoring game and West Ham v Spurs could be similar as both defences are bit suspect but I think we have that little bit extra firepower up front. Roll on MOTD at the weekend as I'll probably be watching England V Croatia from behind the sofa.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
