Book The Plane Home

So its confirmed England are on the way home after Costa Rica's stunning win over the Italians,our most embarrassing result in any World Cup for over 50 years,however its not the team and manager that I want to go on about enough will be said about them over the coming months,no its the reaction of the EXPERTS that my ravings are about today.

Many of you will have heard  Chris Waddles impassioned outburst on Radio 5 live last night berating the almost impossible decline since South Africa,the failure of the FA to use their unimaginable riches to fund coaching and then the embarrassing performances of so many of the players,when the chips were down they went missing.

He does however appear to be a voice crying in the wilderness

Alvin Martin -Plenty of positives to take out of the tournament
Martin O'Neil- I thought England did very well
Henry Winter (A journalist I much admire) Hodgson is doing a good job he must be given more time
The FA- Roy will see his contract out

and on and on they go.

And then you listen to the phone inn's and ;look on Social Media and hear the voice of the fans

Hodgson to negative
Rooney one goal and suddenly he's world class,no way over rated
Gerard ,when he last have a good game for England
Welbeck and Henderson are not the future they get in because of who they play for

So has there ever been such a gulf between the "Experts" and the fans,those who actually pay to get in feel let down and yet their voices appear to be ignored,yes  a large crowd will still turn up at Wembley for the next match because they are the hardy souls who follow through thick and thin in the vain hope that one day it will all come right,the rest of us well we can keep our Plebby mouths shut because we know no better and should leave commenting on England to our betters, Chris Waddle excepted
