[happypig]

Not taking Gazza to the 1998 world cup.

 

[carlzeiss]

Gordon Banks's dodgy chili 1970

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Failure to hold all the WC tournaments since 1966 in England?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Wales 4-1 England, 1980 British Home Championship. Ouch!

 

[The Albion Roar]

The introduction of the Premier League, which allowed people with no obligation to help the national side influence how the national side was run.

Phil Neville's late tackle V Romania WC 2000

Euro 2000 but yes, that was awful.

 

[Badger]

ignoring Le Tissier.

This was going to be my next comment. It's unbelievable that a player of Le Tissier's skill barely got a look in for England.

 

[Hillian1]

Carlton Palmer.

Do I not like that.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

David Nugent

 

[Nathan]

Penalties.

 

[W.C.]

This. was. bad.



(The 'high'lights say it all really)

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Rob Green against USA

 

[ManOfSussex]

Deciding to allow a Channel 4 documentary film, 'An Impossible Job' behind the scenes during England's doomed 1994 World Cup Qualification, thus revealing to the world what a truly shambolic, comedic organisation they are.

(Actually that was a good idea, it was comic genius)

 

[Ernest]

Peter Shilton in 1973
The whole of the golden generation shite
Ron 0-0 Greenwood in 1982
Cheating Maradona
Peter Shilton too far off his line in 1990
David Beckham's petulance
Broken Metatarsals

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Don Revie must go on the list

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That Lampard goal that was about a yard over the line in 2010 v Germany clearly didn't help much.

They'd still have smashed us though. Our defending was atrocious.

For sure. But levelling the score at 2-2 might have spooked them though.
