What the fuck are England doing?
Throwing away qualification for the world cup from what should be one of the easiest qualifying groups ever, by the looks of it.
Idiots.
That was the most inept England performance since we got tonked 2-0 by Norway under Graham Taylor. 
One of England's supposed virtues is their hard work and passion .... it was woefully absent last night. They played like a bunch of cry-baby millionaires, outfought and outclassed in midfield and creating virtually no decent chances. Rooney should have been sent off; Lampard and Gerrard, allegedly world-class midfielders, were anonymous; Owen laboured up-front on his own without support; and don't even get me started on Sven's failure to change the formation and the approach when things were going so badly.
Congrats to Northern Ireland though .... I reckon Lawrie Sanchez will now get the freedom of Belfast, and deservedly so ....
My mood wasn't improved when I got it in the neck from my partner (from Bangor in Northern Ireland), her Mum and Dad and her brother (who was at the match and sang very rude songs down the phone to me from the pub afterwards).

Sven should have gone after the Euros, tonight should just be an excuse for the FA to drop the axe. Who would replace him? If we can't find an Englishman, find a better foreigner.
Doesn't coach.
Doesn't motivate.
Can be tactically out-thought by Lawrie Sanchez.
SACK HIM NOW.
Still reckon the Steve McClaren is running the England team
Anyway, Lampard still hasn't proven he's international class and neither has SWP
Ferdinand is becoming a joke and shockingly Beckham had a good game

Here for the football.
Owen hargreeves is very shit ceratinly when he comes off the bench for enagland. decent enough back up to have in the squad but is definatly not a player to put on with a few minutes to go when your chasing a game. especilly replcaing lampard whop is the sort of player to have a long shot fly in the goal in the dieing seconds.
sven is a numpty and something needs doing either him being fired or at the very least a massive over haul in who is coaching and assisting him.

Im sure there were a few fenians playing for NI. I think a lot of this bullshit about being Bratash only has currency among the more extreme elements of the NI (Linfield) faithful.

I would hardly call the performance at the last world cup dismal
Getting out of the hardest group, easily, in the competition, beating Denmark 3-0 and then losing narrowly to the winners
Euro 2004 was patchier though, I will concede, although the 4-2 with Croatia was a very good game.
