I wonder if England have a similar initiation to some of the club sides, where the new man in has to stand on a chair and sing a song. I can just see Roy Hodgson doing Chris Kamara's charity Euro's song justice, complete with comedy wig of course.

The sad part about the video is that it almost convinced me that England have a realistic shot at winning Euro12. They don't have a snowball's chance in hell. They're nowhere near good enough, France, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Germany and Italy all have a better shot at it than England does, and they're all technically more sound and proficient than England. I'd LOL if Ireland made it further than England, for the record.

I hope Ireland make it further than England! We aren't going to get very far, would be great to see Ireland in the quarters.

Fixed for you. They're not going to accomplish anything this time around.

You make it sound like we will in Brazil, or the next Euro's, or the World Cup after that

I see Hazard is flirting with both Manchester clubs now, being entertained by them, shown around houses etc.. Apparently City are put off by his huge wage demands.

I'm really glad we pulled out of the race in January, he seems to be a time waster and likes to pit clubs against each other. Either that or he's stringing them along hoping for an offer from Barcelona or Real Madrid. Whichever it is, he sounds like someone who should of steered clear of at all costs.

1. First time for this lol

2. Agree totally with this. Sounds like a pr#$% teaser

I'd rather have Dempsey putting himself about in the middle of the park- we know he can get it done in the PL.

You're right, he does! You have to give City credit if they are put off by the way he's handling things and the wages he's demanding. It looks like they will win the title so there are many players out there who will want to be a part of it and are hungry to help them achieve even more, players like him looking to mess them around and then move to Barcelona in a season or two are bad news.

They're looking at a young forward from Montpellier instead, which shows they're growing and don't need to pay over the odds for mercenaries like they had to do to a certain extent to get them to where they wanted to be. Now they can call the shots.

I'm by no means saying Fergie and Utd are done, his record speaks for itself but it will make things very interesting to have another alpha male in the league.

Winning the FA cup was fine last year but taking the title is a massive step. It's like when Roman brought in Jose. Both Arsene and Fergie took a long time to adapt-you could even say Arsene never did.

Wow, Chelsea were horrid tonight. Yeah, the two posts early on were bright spots but overall we were trash. Couldn't pass, awful defending, awful shooting, Liverpool were just better.

I hope they don't show up like this in Germany!

Ooh, that's Younes Belhanda!!! He was born the same day I was! I've seen a good amount of him, he's quite a player. Good on the ball, good shot, good left foot, good right foot, can play in the center of the park as well as out on the wings. Fast as hell too. And being French, you know he's got a few tricks he can use from time to time.

LOL I think my country has a better shot at winning the World Cup than yours does at the current moment, and I'm not too high on our chances of winning it in my lifetime.

I really wouldn't worry about it. They had a sort of reserve side out. They'd won the Cup Final three days previously. And with the Champion's League Final looming, they are deep in preparation for one of the biggest most prestigious matches in their entire history.

I think you're right. Di Matteo has been great at creating a gameplan and drumming it into the players. Benfica away we knew what they were going to do before even they did it seemed. He got it just right against Barcelona both games so fingers crossed he can come up with something to give us a chance against Bayern Munich.

They're the better team, playing at home and we're missing very important players. Any advantage he can get us by preparing the players to know what to expect and how to handle it could be vital.

So Big Fat Sam or Holloway back in the league next year..gonna have to side with Blackpool on this one.

Also Falcao is quite the player as well - wish Europa league winners got a spot in the Champions league the next year.

He's amazing, but don't worry! Maybe we can swap Torres for him, then he'll be in the Champions League

Falcao looks like a pub player outside the box but inside he's the best at sniffing out chances in the world.
