    There should be a whole separate thread to debate that line in the Soccer forum....

    Charlton is a good guy and decent man manager but he misused the talent available to him in 88 and 90 by making them play the football he did. I think the team did well despite Charlton rather than because of him but because of the novelty and innocence of the time, It wasn't questioned.

    >>It’s fair to say that England’s bore draw with Ireland in Dublin was, without a doubt, one of the most frustratingly dull matches of football in living memory.

    Despite the domestic football season now officially being over, following a month of final fixtures, a much anticipated friendly between two home nations should have been enough to inspire both the players and the fans.

    However, it appeared that the match would have passed many football fans by had it not been for the monotony of Sunday television, forcing viewers to endlessly flick between the channels, desperately trying to avoid Judge Judy, Top Gear and Friends re-runs.

    But for those who had tuned into watching England by flicking onto ITV by accident, they would have certainly regretted that decision, such were abysmal nature of the two sides’ performance.<<

    Did not miss much it seems .

    Nearly 60 post in one day. You need to get out into the fresh air!

    If that's the best you can do after 1400+, then you need to go for a walk

    Presumably it's to keep them sharp for qualifiers.

    And to make a few quid of course

    I think Barcelona won the CL last night despite luis Enrique. And the same for pep guardiola...

    It's harder to be successful with teams that have no history of winning big games or qualifying for big tournaments!

    Charlton's tactics were incredibly effective and efficient.

    I think we overachieved at times.

    The mental side of the game and team spirit etc are just important the technical side!

    People like dunphy ruined that period with all their constant criticism. Real shame.. :(

    Again another example of how rugby fans are just have better sportsmanship no matter what country they are from

    Or rugby is a minority sport and football has a wider fanbase which attracts all elements of society from good to bad.

    dreadful game - but as I joked with a few English after how things have changed in 20 years - England are now my second favourite team - economically they did more for us recently than the Germans - and besides we have a lot more in common - language, good music , enjoy a good drink , football, rugby - the English are now are good friends - always have good crack with them when away , we have so much in common , that was hidden for years and throughout my youth

    Always the way in smaller sports enjoyed by the middle classes.

    Tennis and hockey have wonderful fans too.

    yeah - lol - it was the Germans who pushed us to pay back money we didn't have - and didn't want make any concessions - and drove many to an early grave. Lived in England much of my life , and like any society there is the good and the bad. Some of my best mates are now English , but growing up I too was told to hate them
