The official CUK World Cup commentary thread

In what way do you think Taylor's record is better than Capello's? Capello has more wins and if you work it out as points it comes to 47 vs 46.

This is sasturnip we are talking about here bunk. He has to put the figures through one of his mystical computer modelling progs to be so disastrously out of synch with reality. You should see the comical conclusions he manages to come out with on AGW!! Comedy Gold!!

First 21 matches:

Capello W15 D2 L4
Taylor W13 D7 L1

Point being that you can start good and still end up a turnip.

I presume you "started good"?

Capello has already surpassed Taylor's achievements in competitive matches, to end up with a comparable record would require that we fail to win a group game at the world cup and fail to qualify for the next European Championships.

Well if you want to nit pick, then OK Capello's and Taylor's record were much the same over their first 21 matches.
Taylor managing to lose rather less.
I'm just irritated by the way people are fawning over him as if he's a miracle worker.
Point is he isn't and I think the spoilt chavs who make up the team will turn out the same mediocre performance in this competition as they have in the past.
You can whip the flouncy old crocked nag and it will occasionally get up to a gallop, but take it to water and you can't force it to drink, as all you hopefuls will find out, probably as soon as Saturday
