Israel 0 England 0Ok, so
England drew 0-0 Away In Israel - the fans booed, the press jeered and the bookies cheered. The bookmakers had England odds on favourites (8/13) to beat Israel, in Israel. Israel recently went on an unbeaten run of 14 games, playing the likes of France and Italy in there. I never had a bet, I have enough on the England already. If I had wagered, the draw was the bet. What's the big problem?
Andorra 0 England 3England Beat Andorra 3-0 Away - the fans booed, the press jeered and the bookies never gave a toss with England at 1/100 odds on.
Why were the England fans booing? Because we never trounced a team within 20 minutes while they placed 12 men behind the ball? A team who were fouling and aggressively trying their damndest to wind our players up?
I hear talk of: "It was a premier league versus a non league side situation." Well i'll have you know many non-league versus premier teams FA cup ties have ended up in defeat for the big boys, let alone winnng the game within the first quarter of the match is over. We won 3-0. That'll do me.
England's 12th ManIf the England fans and the press want to help our England team turn defeats into draws, and draws into wins, we are going exactly the wrong way about it. England's 12th man is currently playing for the opposition, applying pressure all across the pitch, before and after the match aswell. The other international managers must love it playing against us.
Let's hope things change at the
New Wembley Stadium - I won't be holding my breath though.
