Could not agree more. I bet England have a better tournament here with half of the old guard missing. Another thing people are forgetting is Roy has been in the job for just weeks. I bet given more time he would of taken more of the younger players.
Reading these boards its difficult to see how club allegiances can be put aside and the National team supported. Everyone wants their clubs players to represent the National side.

Gerrard will be 34 in the next tournament and is 32 for this one.Recent performances for his country have been abject and yet he goes to the Euros as captain.He should not be involved full stop
I dont agree with building for 2014, we should be building for France 2016.
We have absolutely zero chance of winning in 2014. A South American team will win, absolutely nailed on because European teams just don't win in South America.
France 2016 is a realistic target because we have 4 years to plan for it, it's next door so no travelling or particularly extreme weather.
Hodgson hasn't gone far enough in my opinion.
He should have got rid of all the old guard, made Hart captain (will obviously still be around in 4 years), and given a young squad proper tournament experience.
We wouldn't have got very far obviously, but we are not going to get very far regardless because we are average whoever is playing.
Don't mention the war. The OP mentioned it, but I think he got away with it

I think he mentioned it only once and got away with it. Anyhow they started it, they invaded Poland.

always gets me that.
So, that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads.
The current crop of players (Terry, Gerrard, Ferdinand, Lampard etc) have was us a grand total of diddly squad.

It's not a rat, it's my 'Amster!
That has to be the funniest show of all time.
You have rats in Spain don't you?? Or did Franco have them all shot?
I find I use this one a lot when arguing with TOOR.

The closest I have ever seen to it is Blackadder, with Only Fool and Horses coming in third.
That's the funniest scene of all time too.
Basil Fawlty: Shhh-shh-shh-shh-shh. You know nothing... about... the horse.
Manuel: [parroting] I know "nothing... about... the horse."
Basil Fawlty: Yes.
Manuel: Ah. Which horse?
Basil Fawlty: What?
Manuel: Which horse I know nothing?
Basil Fawlty: My horse, nitwit!
Manuel: Your horse - Nitwit.
Basil Fawlty: No-no-no. Dragonfly.
Manuel: It won!
Basil Fawlty: Yes, I know!
Manuel: I know it won, too!
Basil Fawlty: What?
Manuel: I put money on for you. You give me money; I go to betting shop.
Basil Fawlty: Yes, I know, I know, I know.
Manuel: Then why you say I know nothing?
Basil Fawlty: [desperately] Look, look, look, you know the horse?
Manuel: Uh, Nitwit or Dragonfly?
Basil Fawlty: Dragonfly! There isn't a horse called Nit... YOU'RE the Nitwit!
Manuel: What is Witnit?
Basil Fawlty: It doesn't matter. Look, it doesn't matter. Oh, I can spend the rest of my life having this conversation. Now, please, please, try to understand before one of us dies.
Manuel: I try.
Basil Fawlty: You're going to forget everything you know about Nitwit.
Manuel: No, no. Dragonfly.
Basil Fawlty: Dragonfly!
Manuel: Eventually.
Basil: What?
Manuel: Eventually.
Basil: No, forget it now!
Manuel: Now?
Basil: Forget everything I told you about the horse!
Manuel: I know that, you tell me this morning.

Comedy doesn't get better than that. Absolute genius
Indeed. I still giggle randomly in work when I remember scenes in that show. For example the hotel room scene, with the deaf woman, complaining about the view out her window.
May I ask you what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel window? The Sydney Opera House perhaps? Herds of Wildebeast...the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?!
B: Manuel! You. Know. Nothing.
M: You always say that, Mr Fawlty but I learn!
B: What?
M: I learn I learn! I get better!
B: No no no, you don't understand.
M: I do! I do understand! I learn!
