Is the FA(English) a joke?

The stadium is not down to them but the farce of getting a manager is.I fear that now they have had their nose bloodied by big phil they will take the cowards way out and go for Mclaren which will be a disaster.I believe they where right to go for Big phil as his record speaks for itself (which knowing our luck will result in Portugal kicking us out of another major cup).Now he has turned us down we should go for O'Neill or Big Sam at Bolton as these two have a bit of passion about them.McLaren would just be a FA puppet and would lead England once again into the wilderness.F.A IF YOU CAN DO NOTHING ELSE RIGHT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT APOINT ANOTHER NO-MARK MANAGER.GET SOMEONE WITH PASSION.

The footballer referred to in this ad was Ian Rush (he wasn't actually in the ad).  What a great ad and we still quote it in our house today.  LOL.  We no longer live in the UK.

There is a natural insularity in England which fosters the belief that England and all things English is superior to anything foreign. The English media fosters this illusion by extravagant claims that the premiership is the "best league in the world" when in reality England is only playing catch up with the rest of the major footballing nations. Ironically, English football has only become attractive and exiting in recent years due to the influx of foreign players. The England players however have too much respect for the quality of the major football teams to believe that winning the World Cup is their "birthright"

Not a hope.\n\nAnd they shouldn't be in the English Leagues anyway.

Yes and calling it football seems a little daft as they rarely kick it. Not that it ever surprised me, they never have got the hang of the english language.

Althought I enjoy this joke and I tell it, I don't think that this is the place for it.  Some people may be offended.  There is a time and place, but not here.\n\nAnd yes, they will field a team.

No not necessarily. The FA cup does not determine Europe it is your position in the league which does. West Ham are not quite high enough in the league to go to Europe yet, but lets hope they finish so!

Yes it's true as far as I know. The official dictionary.com version says: \n\n[From alteration of assoc., abbreviation of "association football".]

No. But this is a FIFA directive for all first divisions all around the world, not an FA imposition. The gravest accident regarding standing terraces happened in England, and also Liverpool, and English team, was involved in the Heissel tragedy, in which standing terraces where a major contributing factor to the dead of Juventus fans (or hooligans).

It's alright to have a couple foreign players, but at a certain point you look at the name "ENGLISH Premier League" and you have to wonder if any of them are English at all.  Its a tough issue because on one hand I should be happy to see a well played game of football, but on the other hand, if I want to watch English teams, shouldn't the players on them be from England?

Oh there IS A LOT OF CONSISTENCY.  We don't understand it YET but there is a lot of purpose in all ll those seemingly crazy decisions.  I predicted, two days before the Portugal Holland match that there would be 8 yellow cards and 4 red cards .I was wrong on the yellows... there were 16, not only 8.  --- Referee had a job to do only he did it badly and not in accordacnce with whoever instructed him to act that way.  I read that Figo has never had a red card in his career that Deco has never had a red car.Costinha has never had a red card, so what happend IN THAT MATCH ?  English hero of 1966 Bobby Charlton said and I quote him "IT IS LOVELY TO PLAY AGAINST THE PORTUGUESE, THEY JUST GET ON WITH IT AND DON'T CHEAT OR DIVE !" So what happened against Holland ?  What happened is that is it is all been decided that England will wint the World Cup.  The whole thing of Football is beginning to stink.
