I'm still laughing at your World Cup predictions. What was that comment about the only teams capable of playing football again...

The current regime haven't run it poorly. They're still cleaning up the mess they inherited.

...and Eddie Davies died today: https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/16835474.former-bolton-wanderers-owner-eddie-davies-dies-aged-72/

It is progress numb nuts.

Luckier? You mean by being better at putting the ball in the net than the opposition? That's not luck.

That's exactly what you said.

You'd have been on here defending him to the hilt after we'd been hammered would you? You've slagged him off for reaching a World Cup semi-final! Laughable.

Depends on what your expectations were prior to the tournament. If you were expecting us to win it, you'd have been disappointed with only reaching the semi-final.

They get there by being better than the opposition. They don't need to be any better than that. There's no asterisk next to the winner's name saying, *Fluked their way to victory.

I thought it didn't count if you won on pens? According to your logic it's actually a draw. When's the replay of the 1990 World Cup semi-final?

Yes, that's correct. Reaching a semi-final of a World Cup is a bigger achievement than not reaching a semi-final of a World Cup.

But apparently we're piss poor as well, so it's all relative.

Didn't Oliver Reed pop his clogs, after challenging the Royal Navy to a drinking contest in a bar in Malta?

Yes, winning on pens does actually count as winning. If City win the Champions League final on pens will you be saying that it doesn't actually count as you 'didn't even beat the opposition'? What a nonsensical argument.

No i'm suggesting that they were playing in an era when we failed to qualify for two consecutive World Cups.

Qualified for major tournaments for a start. Reached a World cup semi-final for another. How many major international tournaments did Tony Currie, Rodney Marsh, Stan Bowles and Frank Worthington win with England? We didn't even qualify for the World Cup in '74 and '78.

Did you think the internet was only available in Manchester?

'Dullards' like Henderson and Dier have done more in an England shirt than any of the players you mentioned except Paul Gascoigne.

I'm an England fan as well. Sorry if that upsets you.
