england will win the group then get knocked out in the quater finals. it's simple really, england aren't good enough to win it. infact they are miles off.

HA! We haven't had a decent manager in years, so you cant really judge.

The players are awesome, and with Fabio Capello making the players work more efficently(and better) we got a very good chance.

Cheers,

Mark

Edit: Also he's got the best stats of all previous managers.

when we face the likes of spain, brazil (they always hit form in the world cup), germany. then we'll come unstuck, capello is a good manager but i can see personal issues with players letting him down, instead of just looking at their form. "i don't like your mother jermaine, so emile starts above you". first off we don't have a good solid goalkeeper, so we can't count on that. and as for strikers then name one english forward who you would put up against torres or villa. there are non that even come close. i just hope they at least try their best that's all i ask.

i admit, i was foolish enough in 2006 and 2002 to get swept up in this media idea of the fact that they may as well send us the cup in the post before it even starts. but i can see better this time. twats who write for the likes of the mail and the sun, and yes even sky sports news keep falling into the same trap. sven was a good manager for us but he took us as far as he could really, the team simply isn't good enough.

on the grid.

I'm really looking forward to the world cup, its such a good atmosphere in the pubs though I wish I could be there in South Africa. Great host country to hold it in.

Incidentally have you noiced the backdrop the BBC uses on the news when they talk about the world cup? Smashing job. Shame its not the official logo, it really evokes the spirit.

The thing is, every world cup we hear that we have a great team and that we will win it.

In Germany 2006 there was loads of, we have the best team since 1966 and its exactly 40 years so we must win it...same kinda thing in 2002 with Sven.

Saying this..I do think we have a good chance :D

I don't think that England will win the cup, but hopefully will beat their group before dropping out. When that happens I'll choose another team to support in the pub, so fickle!

same here, i would love us to win it but the players aren't good enough. so when we drop out i'll back spain like i did in euro 2008.

the guy is pure class. experience, pace (allthough not as much as munich in 2001), finishing, teamwork. he has to keep this up of course, but if he does and fabio dosen't take him. he's a tit.

i managed to cap this from the live feed of the game (they cut it out the highlights later). suicide followed after owen scored the 3rd.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
