England Expects... More


Some people understand football.

And then there are those who travelled to watch England play Andorra and sang 'There's only one David Beckham'.

I've lost count over the years of the times that I've felt uncomfortable being an England fan due to the behavior of monkeys in replica shirts. So now I can add Wednesday night to the collection.

Cold reality and current form count for nothing it seems. Consequently those wearing replica Lions expected McClaren's charges to win 8-0. Don't mind the absence of Crouch, just about the only man reliably able to score for his country. And Don't mind the bookies. (Incidentally, I was on Less Than 4 Goals @ 7/5. Cheers).

Then there was what happened on the park. But it seemed that the brain surgeons who revealed through the medium of song the England manager's ongoing self abuse problem did'nt mind that either.

The first 20 minutes alone revealed that Andorra were determined to not get thumped again and moreover not play nice.

They declared psychological war on Rooney and had him waving the white flag within minutes. The gruesome Sonje whispering in his Shrekish ear, ' Hey Rooney boy, your mother, eh? eh?'
Who was surprised when the inevitable yellow was presented to him?

Gerrard displayed what is required from an England player in spades.

Will.

The prats singing for Beckham were probably the same ones who didn't want Hargreaves in the team intially...
