What has this to do with English Football?  Did I miss something obvious?

Without a doubt.To an outsider it is an absolute disgrace to see how Norwich have fallen into Mediocrity.It seems only yesterday that they where in the premiership and in Europe with a squad which was mainly british (not many clubs can claim that now).The board at Norwich seem more interested in getting their mugs on the tele and have no interest in getting this great little club back in with the big boys.Worthington is not up to the job and should go as soon as and your board should either start running your club with an aim to make it great again or step down and let someone who loves Norwich and football have a go.P.S Delia: Getting pissed and making a laughing stock of yourself does not count as passion.

Iain \n"Slim" Jim Baxter wore the No 6  shirt mate\nI know this for a fact because the Sunday Mail (Scottish Paper) gave away a free DVD of this game only 2 weeks ago and i just had a wee look for you.\nBaxter was immence in that game, playing keepie up and generally extracting the Urine from the English players (World Champs at the time)\nAlthough he did'nt sit on the ball as folklore would have you believe.\nScorers on the day were\nEngland 2 - Charlton 84mins Hurst 88mins\nSCOTLAND 3 - LAW 27mins... LENNOX 78mins... McCALLIOG 87mins\nAlso Baxter played for Sunderland at the time and not Rangers as many believe\n\nAWRABEST

I agree i heard that a few days after.... If you have the power to look back at the footage its only black players going mad at him... Even Wright-Philips... Also In Rio Ferdinands book he talks of a KNOWN racist in the england team but dosnt mention any names.... Terry has been violated for race on the pitch before.... I beleive that is the exact reason he was sent off.....\n\n\nYID ARMY!!!

1.  Death of Peter Osgood (legendary Chelsea player) last week\n2.  No, he is a great manager.  Football needs more characters like him.  Oh, and he is very good at his job too.\n3.  Good player, couldnt get into the game due to good barca defenders\n4.  Hamstring injury.  No collision involved.  Just pulled up with it.

It's a corruption of the word 'haddocks'. Think it started in the thirties. Charlton always treated the opposition to fish & chips, they didn't bother to ask everyone what they wanted, just ordered haddock & chips for all. The visiting team would call them the haddocks, ie; ''we're playing the haddocks next''. Over time it became corrupted to 'addicks'.

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.

You people have very short memories.  Only a few years ago, Birmingham were the biggest underachievers in British foorball, languishing in the third division.  Steve Bruce has been a fantastic manager for Birmingham and they would be mad to sack him.  \n\nClear out the players who haven't made an acceptable effort for you this year and keep right on till the end of the road.\n\nGood luck Brum.  I wish it was Villa going down instead!

DJ has had a torrid first season in the highest echelon of English football.\nHe has failed to convert the chances that came his way. \nHe will play next season in the 2nd tier of English football, called the Coca-Cola Championship.\n\nHe really needs to buck up or find another club.

They did not win the league.  Lost on goal difference, but they qualified for Europe next season.  Not bad for a team that were heading for oblivion 2 years ago - Proud\n\nThey are losing their manager to my team as from tonight - Gutted.\n\nHope they get the Shelbourne manager next.\n\nHis new team Dunfermline Athletic won 2-1 yesterday.

It's almost been 24 hours and I still can't believe this.  Shaun Wright Phillips is left off the squad.  Defoe is on the reserve squad...but Walcott is on the starting squad.  Gamble or dumb move?  I think it's a dumb move.  Here in the states, Bruce Arena is smart enough to leave Freddie Adu out this year....because he is too young with too little experience.  But the Swede selects Walcott.  Unbelievable!  Total slap in the face to SWP.

Darren bent would definitely have been in there, highest english scorer in the premiership and doesn't even get on the stand by list? unbelievable! if was playing for any of the top clubs (chelsea, man u, arsenal etc) he would have been in. i would have dropped beckam, he is passed it and the only trick in his bag is free kicks, which lamps or gerrard can do just as well!!

Who knows? Poor management?\n\nThey sold Vassell and bought Baros which wasn't the best decision. How Baros got to be top scorer at Euro 2004 is beyond me, he's an average striker at best

Alan Mullery was the first England player to be sent off. Not sure about the second part of the question.

I think he lacks motivation for his players, he seems to want to be friend with his players rather than being the boss!  No good for sports - he's too laid back.  He must use all his passion in the bedroom cos he's pretty good in that department judging by the women he has had - lol.  He seems to have a group of players that he will never sub no matter how bad they are - he will never win anything with that attitude!  I'm afraid they should have picked a better guy to replace him as well the futures looking bleak for England.

The previous directors of Hearts are the masters of the downfall of this club.  They could not see past the money that was waved in front of their faces.\n\nSo Hearts were in deep financial trouble, but so were other clubs in the Premier League.  Dunfermline, Livingston, Motherwell, Kilmarnock even Celtic and Rangers work with huge overdrafts.\n\nI think they were well warned about Romanov before he took over.  Other Scottish teams turned him down.\n\nHe has not reduced Hearts debt all he did was transfer it from The Bank of Scotland to his own bank Ukio Bancos.\n\nHe is treating players with utter contempt because they have had the audacity to speak out.\n\nMr. Romanov must remember that in this country we are allowed to speak our minds (most of the time), it is not a Russian Mafia Dictated country.\n\nAnyway I though this Russian caretaker manager said that he picked the team not Romanov.  Who's telling porkies now.\n\nThe people I really feel sorry for are the Hearts supporters.  They must be wondering where this is heading.
