Football prattle ...

My wife still thinks it strange that a Swedish person with interesting spectacles pretends to be 'manager' etc of highly-overpaid 'English footie team.

Thank goodness I have resisted temptation to fork out for Sky sports package (until cricket next year...) to watch yesterday's rubbish which sounded bad enough on radio whilst I watched Channel 4 cricket-final.

Although I support Chelsea in whatever incarnation, I have noticed that if there are too many of their players in English national team that most of them play rubbish. Probably England (if not Man. City) would do better with Stuart Pearce or Mourinho (although they'd be boring) as nominal 'coach'.

Probably Mourinho now talks more footie-bollocks than Wenger/Cantona/Sven ever did-can, so I would bring back the venerable Venables.

Sven might be the manager but it's Beckham who picks the team Big Grin

Scotland might not have much in the way of good players but, helped by a decent manager, they put together a team performance that they can be proud of against Italy.
