England 0
Macedonia 0
England were held to a 0-0 draw at home (old trafford) by Macedonia yesterday afternoon.
I have been reading the newspaper reports. I have been listening to the radio phone-ins. Pretty much all have crucified Steve McClaren and the 3 lions for their apparent inept performance.
I have news for you all. The days of rolling over the likes of Turkey 7-0 went long ago with the old King.
Yes, we needed the creativity of a David Beckham. Yes, we needed the aggression, tackling and work rate of an Owen Hargreaves. Yes, we could do with a firing on all cylinders Wayne Rooney.
The truth is, England are not nailed on to beat teams with the ability the likes of Macedonia obviously have in their locker.
It's about time the England fans and the English press got behind the team through thick and thin. I am bored of "we are the best", when we win a match. I am tired with the "off with their heads", when we are held at home by an international team, who played well as a team on the day.
No, I can't be bothered with writing a match report, because what happened in the actual match is not important these days. Even Steve McClaren slagged off the team, the performance, the result, himself I guess, the Queen, the bowler hats, Big Ben and all that is English.
On a lighter note. Respect is due to the Scots, who beat the French 1-0 after a battling display. A tip of the hat to the Scottish. Nice going there boys. Berti Vogts, eat your heart out.
Come on England!

It's amazing how quickly the press get on the backs of any manager we have in place. Sven will be somewhere rubbing his hands in glee, didn't he go 10 games before losing or drawing when he first started?
