You're confusing United fans attitudes towards his footballing abilities as opposed to his demeanor. United fans are never fickle...club comes first before any player.

For all his ability, his attitude away from the pitch will ensure that his name wil never reside in the pantheon of United greats such as Edwards, Law, Best, Charlton, Robson and Cantona.
He was getting way too big for his boots.

No because they are better than England so we can't really say anything bad can we?

You never know though. The World cup is next year and England are up to 6 in the world rankings now!

I'm not sure. The Andorra win was very encouraging, but it was only Andorra who'd probably lose to Rochdale Utd as well. If we beat the Croats and Ukranians again I'll be even more optimistic about the world cup.

Major problem though is the country it's taking place in-South Africa. You know how we wilt under the heat. It's a definite negative against us I fear.

Yeah, that's a thought. It's a shame we can't have a world cup in Greenland or something - I'd actually fancy our chances at that.

You just reminded me of Looking for Eric, going to see it? Looks like it may be interesting to say the least..

I will catch it on the small screen myself. it's directed by one of my favourite British directors Ken Loach and I always watch every film he makes.
