Chippy bang on here
On the English players:
“It’s not a sacrifice or a prison. The other teams, they’re in their camps, they get on with it and win. They don’t come up with these excuses. They’re loser’s excuses.”
Ferdinand and Lampard back in the studio frantically defending themselves.

So he hung the players out to dry??
Ferdinand looks bulked up… Is he still at the boxing?
No .
He said the players should look introspectively.
He wouldn’t box knickers for tesco .
In all seriousness he failed miserably with Englands best squad since God knows when, surely he needs to take some of the blame
He failed?
Do the English players not take responsibility?
Yes, most of it but he needs to accept his failings as well.
What are you going on about? The piece was about British culture in general and how it doesn’t help the players…the press and pressure and English players not being able to handle the hotel…it wasn’t about his time, it was about the last 50 years. He was only 1 speaker.
“it was the golden generation guvnor”
LOL
Take it easy now, I asked a simple question, sounded like he wasn’t taking any of the responsibility for the failure of that team, I’m only going on your comments.
He didn’t say he wasn’t. He responded to English players always making excuses.
But England players consistently fail under a vast array of managers, some of them highly decorated.

He wasn’t talking about any one team. Sven, big Sam, Southgate…were all speaking.
thanks for clearing that up, I wasn’t fully informed of the context.
see my last post,
wasn’t it Capello’s team that made the big deal about being locked away from everything though.
If excuses could win you trophies, Boycott would be sought after.
This has the potential to be England’s Stalingrad.
George and Ronnie went shopping together anyway
