P.K. Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 It's said that Ramsey won in 1966 because he fielded the best team rather than the best players. They were probably the fittest team as well....

the stinking enigma Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 not in the slightest the woollster. actually hold quite high hopes for england winnimg the 2018 world cup by hiok or by crook too. if only to make it 2 world cups and 1 world war the russians have won for you
TheTeapot Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 There's still a possibility of the next world cup being held in England with all the Russian drug nonsense going on. Although that would involve FIFA paying the bribes back.

the stinking enigma Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 "In truth, most English people of the day, certain of their moral superiority, probably couldn’t have imagined their team might be cheating." how times change eh woolley?
Monkey boy Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I think England fans just need to accept that they're nowhere near as good as they think they are and are never going to be regardless of who the manager is.
