Spot on. Looking forward to seeing Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan in the next squad

This is an awful appointment, I mean Woy has a better managerial record that the fat controller.

Look at West Ham, they got rid of him because they believed he could not take them anywhere. Look at the money they have given to Bilic rather than him. And look where West Ham finished up - alot higher than lardy arse could manage.

What are England looking at here, merely survival within the competitions, ie. giving ourselves just a chance of qualifying ?

Lets hope that Palace have a good season because you will be wasting your time with teh national team.

It looks to me as though the F.A have realised English players aren't good enough technically/mentally and they've gone out and got a manager who, rather than play attractive football will set us up to be hard to beat in a tournament.

As clubs around Europe rev up for the start of a new season, and football watchers far and wide slowly recover from the epic giggle fit triggered by England’s performance against Iceland, it looks clear Mr Roy’s greatest achievement to his homeland during his time as the Three Lions’ ringleader was to shock and appal FA wonks so badly that they finally agreed to embrace Big Sam Allardyce.

For years the FA shunned Allardyce as if employing him would be an act of embarrassing uncouthness on a par with ordering bubble and squeak at a Uefa gala. The man’s lack of silverware could be tolerated, but his reluctance to brown-nose was a concern. Not any more, though, thanks to the sheer comprehensiveness of Mr Roy’s failure. After 46 years of hurt, it only took Mr Roy four unsuccessful years to wind the English football clock back to Year Zero.
