Dismal. Lacklustre. Bitterly Disappointing. The Three Lions looked more like eleven clowns and made mugs of all of us who believed in them. The feeling of emptiness is as huge as the compensation package Steve McLaren will pick up as soon as he dodges the baying public and strolls his merry way to the FA [...]
Continue reading …The second Fans Forum meeting of the season was held in the hotel at Chelsea FC before the Everton game. The meeting time and date had been moved several times in the preceding weeks, firstly due to the change in kick off time because of Everton’s UEFA match on Thursday, and then so it could [...]
