The fans: your view on the weekend's matches

“What would happen if Tony Blair replaced Steve McClaren? I reckon we’d have two Polish strikers, all tactical decisions would be made by the manager of the USA, we’d invade the Asian Cup and the team would be managed by a call centre in India. Tough on fouls and tough on the causes of fouls.”

“Beckham is past it. Why play him when Shaun Wright-Phillips is available?”
bbc.co.uk/606

“England are going to qualify for Euro 2008. McClaren will stay, believing he was right all along. We will be forced to endure the Gerrard-Lampard debate for another eight months. The ‘big’ players will continue in their bubble of believing they are world-class players. The press will have us believing we will win the bloody thing. Great, can’t wait.”

“McClaren wasn’t good enough before Saturday. A result in a game which he had no bearing over shouldn’t change this. Tactically, the man is clueless.”
bbc.co.uk/606

“Any sympathy for the Scots? No, thought not.”

“I would love it, absolutely love it, if England lost to Croatia at Wembley on Wednesday. I can’t stomach the thought of Wags, slags, media whores, tabloid vermin, patriotic idiots from the Home Counties spouting cack on radio phone-ins and advertisers hitching their overpriced products onto the England bandwagon.”

“Stalin, Rasputin, my mate’s wife Natasha — it’s because of you b******s we still have a red-faced clown in charge.”

How come Northern Ireland qualify if they win and Sweden lose? What about goal difference?
