We must fear the unthinkable

Except, you have to think about it to fear it. If you are worrying about it, by definition you are thinking about it.

Players have come in and done a job

OK…

We’ve picked players, David included, who want to be part of the squad. It’s up to performances whether they play or not.

Starting Midfield vs. Austria - J. Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham

I have never been a good watcher of matches.

That explains a lot. It’s not like 100% of your job is watching football matches and handling high pressure situations or anything.

The key is for everybody to get behind this team from the press guys to the people in the street and the people at Wembley. We need to put all other agendas away till after the game and make sure the buildup is positive.

McClaren’s Keys to Victory

1. Don’t boo Steve McClaren

2. Don’t write anything bad about Steve McClaren

It’s not in England’s nature to play for a draw.

England’s projected formation 4-5-1.

  1. “I could eat a knob at night” - Made famous by Karl Pilkington, who would be not only far better value but probably better full stop as England boss!

    Great blog by the way!
