Careful, your lack of wit is showing.

Really? Whatever floats your boat.

Redknapp to retire is the rumour here in Pompey.....

[Jah Lush]

Don't be silly. I can't see that happening. Well, not yet anyway. There's plenty mileage left in Harry yet and I reckon he'll be back in charge for the next game against Aston Villa on November 21st.

Still this could make things go tits up for him if he's found guilty - Harry's up before the beak next year.

[Jah Lush]

So. England 1 Spain 0. Bet you didn't see that coming.

[Alan Medic]

I bet and didn't see that coming.

[ratty]

As I understand, a certain party who recently got a not guilty in a similar trial has agreed to give evidence against HR and MM.

[Otta]

Best friendly I've seen in a long while. Spain clearly the better side, but fair play to England for stopping them.

[Otta]

Harry will manage England before he retires. FACT!

[ratty]

Depends on the outcome of this trial of course, but I begrudgingly admit he is the best man for the job.

For a Pompey fan it is actually a win win situation. He succeeeds then England are succesful! He fails and he falls flat on his twitchy jowelly face!

Hurrah for Harry!

btw also agree about best friendly in ages. Well played (for once) England - without the prima donnas!

[citizenED]

England defended really well - Lescott was very solid. Capello got the system right. Really enjoyed the match.

[Parkdrive]

England 30% possession to Spains 70%, if we believe that those are the kind of figures that will help us succeed in 2012, we'd all better think again. Allow the likes of Germany or Portugal that kind of possession and England will get punished big time. On another day had Spain been more clinical with their finishing, it could have been a very different story, and the beating we all expected, well most of us any, would have happened.

A creditable win no doubt against the current World and European champs but it only papers Englands weaknesses.

[Jah Lush]

All too true but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Allowing for our deficiencies Capello got his tactics spot on. Not pretty to watch I'll admit but it got the result that we wanted.

I thought there were some pluses in that some of the young players did well and got some very good experience under their belts. Rodwell and Welbeck in particular. And Scott Parker showed once again with his man of the match performance that the holding position should be his.

[Alan Medic]

I do hope for England's sake Capello doesn't just resort to going back to the old guard when the Euro's come around. I'm not sure that his captain is actually good enough to hold down a place if all things were equal.

For all Spain's possession they rarely looked like scoring and as much as I enjoy their style it should be remembered that they won the WC by winning all their knock out matches 1-0. They also lost to Switzerland in the group. Perhaps Barca are a better team than Spain.

Which game were you watching?

[Alan Medic]

Look up 'rarely' in the dictionary.

ETA They had the same number of shots on target as England............2. Which match were you watching?

Given that Redknapp is standing trial for tax evasion it would seem unlikely if he'll ever manage England in the future. The FA has a track record in selecting managers with squeaky clean records. Otherwise, Brian Clough, the people's choice, would have been an England manager years ago. And why was Graham Taylor appointed for the England job then?

Shame really, as I feel Redknapp can do a decent job for England and certainly help them to play football in the right way.

[Otta]

Things might have changed a bit since Clough though?

Venables got the job.

Possibly makes it worse. You know, once bitten twice shy.
