Absolutely. It's sad to see our national teams in the only two worthwhile sports in the world being ruined by absolute twats. An ashes series, a world cup, and next a European Championships ruined by this pair of imbeciles:angry:

Didnt realise either are in charge of the rugby side?

Sorry, I must be missing something. Two world cups? I was only referring to the current cricket one, and next years football European championships, for which we either won't qualify or will simply embarrass ourselves once there. We can include rugby if you like, but I don't know enough about it to know if the manager is a TOOL on the scale of these two.
Andy Robinson has pleasingly just been sacked and anyway he wasn't RUDDY FACED enough to be a true TWAT was he.

That's a bit harsh on Fletcher - only Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka were below England in the Test rankings when he took over, we're now in second position.

haven't we always been crap though? isn't this more of a case of same old, same old?!
No. We were in the top FOUR in the days when there were only four test playing nations.

I appreciate that, but does that mean it's wrong to say he has somewhat lost the plot now?

Not really - we lose one test series against a nation that we've only beaten once in the last 20 years or so and all of a sudden he's lost the plot? I'm not overly interested in the pyjama jamboree that's taking place at the moment but our one-day side has been crap for years - it's not some kind of sudden decline that Fletcher has initiated.

I think Fletcher's not too bad to be honest.

We won the Ashes in England, and beat the Aussies at the one day game on their turf.
Ok we got thrashed this year at the ashes, but I think that was because we were a bit complacent.

Having said that, I still think we won the Ashes on the quality of a few players. Mainly Jones, he was fecking brilliant bowling (Not English though?).
