England's confidence intact

according to Frank Lampard.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard believes England's confidence has not been dented by the goalless Euro 2008 qualifying draw with Israel.

I would laugh if I wasn't so angry.

Mr Lampard is deluding himself, but he isn't fooling anyone else.

I don't think any football fan has any confidence whatsoever that we will qualify for the European Championship next year. Yesterday's display was a disgrace. Team selection was a joke. Tactical nous is non existent. I don't really blame McClaren (he of the four year contract) though because I never thought he was up to the job anyway. It's the over paid, pampered, "We are the best England players since 1966" players who obviously couldn't give a damn about playing for their country that I blame.

Well done to Scotland, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Unlucky Wales.

RUBBISH England.



I did have a great laugh watching Scotland in a pub in New Cross with Reidski and other exiled Scots though. He's happy this weekend anyway.
