If we get beaten Roy's position will be close to untenable. Losing Sturridge is a blow A heavy defeat maybe. There just doesn't appear to be the appetite at the moment to get him out by the press. Strange. It's truely bizarre, the bloke really has gotten away with murder. I just think everyone is too bored of it all to make a fuss.

The apathy amongst the press up to now (Daily Mail apart, who are already calling for him to go) will mean the vitriol will be even more extreme when they decide to turn - so much ammunition stored up!

The Swiss like dull mediocrity, it seems. Indeed, they have one of the most efficient public transport networks in the world, which more than backs up your claim. They also have nice cheese. Which is just like the England defence......full of holes.

Have a read of The Times. Feels like they're making criticisms in every article they write, and rightly so.
The idea of playing 4-4-2 is sheer stupidity.

This is our toughest game against a strong Swiss side who were unlucky v Argentina in Brazil A point would be an excellent result but a heavy defeat could see the screws being tightened regards Hodgson with even the media starting to turn against him C'mon England I agree. A tough game against a better team. At this stage most would agree Switzerland are a better team. BUT if we draw will everyone bear that in mind?

I just don't get how a English football fan would want his country to lose. They piss me off like they've pissed a lot of proud Englishman off but do I want them lose.. Do I bollocks. I don't like hodgson one bit but I hope we do the business tomorrow

I don't like hodgson one bit but I hope we do the business tomorrow thing is I don't think many people feel a connection or a link to the national team in the same way they do to their club side. like if stoke lose it kind of puts a damper on the next few days, but if England lose I don't really give a shit, I don't want them to lose but I don't really care if they do I know that's odd given the stoke team is mostly made up of foreigners who couldn't give a shit stoke as long as got paid but I still feel they care more then that shower of shite in England tops

I don't like hodgson one bit but I hope we do the business tomorrow It fucking beggars belief that there are English football fans who are hoping we get beat tomorrow. Then again I remember reading this shit before each one of our World Cup games. Probably the same people who were once accusing some Pulis critics of wanting Stoke to lose.

I think it'll be a 2-2 draw. I initially supported the appointment of Hodgson, mainly because I didn't want Redknapp to get the job.
Hodgson has disappointed me greatly with his team selection and inability to use the few good players we have.

They obviously care, they're representing there country at the sport they're good at. Every footballer wants to represent there country. It just happens to be we are not world beaters! Were the riches league in the world and most exciting but it doesn't mean were going have the best England team. Upto folk what they want do but as a English football fan born in stoke on trent I have two clubs. Stoke and England and I love them both to pieces however frustrating it is

Rooney tries his arse at united but just seems lethargic when he's with England, maybe its knacked or he's got better players around him at club level or something I don't know but he just lacked that edge that made him a great player. John terry for example you just got the sense that he had a passion when playing for England and you just don't sense that now, maybe its just me

I also think people are sick of the media's constant bumming of our "stars". I don't think it's anti England agenda with most people, more frustration at the over hyping of certain players.

Or was it strictly anti Scotland sentiment? I tried to put a winky thing on, but I am using my phone and always fuck the symbols up! Back on point;I don't support Chelsea or Germany, but I do understand people pulling their hair out over England. What do you think of Hodgson, by the way?
