Do I Not Like This

Update: On the original posting I got my history
mixed up, corrected now. But I'm still leaving in the references to Graham Turnip Taylor because as I wrote below I do believe that with the events right now we are going the same way.

At the moment it feels like (with the current England set-up) that history is repeating itself and we are heading into another Turnip-type era. I fear that – and there is a strong chance – we are not going to qualify for Euro 2008.

Nearly 20 years ago – the Euro ’88 Finals – there was an England song released which doomed us all.

It wasn’t Lineker’s lack of goals that did it. It was this song – produced and released at the height of the Stock Aitken & Waterman reign of terror.

England Football Team* – All The Way:
* Which it obviously isn’t

In Euro ’88, as MickMills points out in the comments below, we qualified easily and then lost every match in the group stages.

“Do I not like that Phil Neal ?”  

Got anything to say? Go ahead and leave a comment!
