I've just heard the phone in on Five Luve this morning, whilst checking any outstanding work from yesterday, and the one thing that comes across is the lack of responsilbility that any of the callers had for their and their fellow 'supporters' actions.
Let me be categoric on this issue. I hate the England team, the set up, the men in suits and most of all, the deranged and pathetically narrow-mindedness of the majority of their fans.
Whilst I was watching bits of the game on Saturday, and in between the incessant booing in the first half, you could hear the pathetic, right-wing, xenophobic chants of the In-Ger-Land support. This as well as the usual catcalls towards certain players, is going to cause great unease amongst the players and management.
In the papers this morning there is surprise that Fabio Capello has said that his players prefer to play away rather than at Wembley, where the pressure is beyond intense. He said that he expected, that England would play with more confidence at the Maksimir, than they would do at Wembley.
Considering that Croatia have never lost a game in Zagreb, I think that is being very optimistic to put it mildly. Also consider that the Croatia manager, Slavan Bilic believes that there are no differences between Capello's team, and the one who lined up and performed so abysmally under Steve McClaren, last November.
In fact, you could argue that without England's most talented player, Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, Capello's hand is weakened further.
Gerrard has more important issues to deal with.
The filthy Mancs are at Anfield in 72 hours..,
That's the game I care for...
