The point is, when supporting the English Football team; as I have slowly come to realise is: we're toilet, and have been toilet since we lucked out and won the world cup.

Because of this very simple fact I've also come to realise a couple of other points of interest: we almost always assume that we're GOING to win something; we assume, because we have one of the strongest leagues on the planet that we're automatically elevated to the top world level, and we put our faith, no matter how miniscule, into whatever manager is appointed; this is wrong and not-so-deep in our hearts we know it.

The sad truth, as many of you who follow football on a regular basis is, our so-called premier league is constructed mainly of foreign players and as a result our expectations are almost always unrealistically high.

My suggestion, for those of you who are feeling a little sore about the latest debacle is to take a leaf out of Wales' or the Republic of Ireland's book. Enjoy being involved for as long as we're involved, party like it's 1999 (or 1966) and when we duck out, as we invariably do, take it on the chin with a huge grin, pick yourself up and start all over again.

Please tell me that if we appointed a new manager we'd all have the same gameplan - That you would ditch almost the entire team; all the old stalwarts would go, feck Ferdinand off, Beckham, Robinson, Crusoe (and James), Cole (both), Campbell, Neville, Gerrard, Lampard, Crouch, Bent, and start pushing some real young talent forward as an investment for the future, it's long road ahead and as soon as the next manger realises that the better.

Get some young spunks involved I say, Tevez, Ronaldo and Fabregas would make an awsome trio, why not Adebayor and Torres? What's wrong with Micah Richards and players like Kuyt, Giovanni, Ronaldinho and Nani?

Let's build a young squad of players going forward to get the foundations in place for a future world cup winning squad.

It's a great country we live in and we need a great football team going forward, any other suggestions are more than welcome.
