my basic point is that compared to slovakia wales and cyprus, our defensive record is pretty good. sure, the germans and czechs have only conceded four each, but leaving out cyprus, we've only conceded six in total, and the other teams are nearer to sixteen. there are some positives to be drawn from this campaign and for what it's worth i think stan has improved as a manager as the group went along. maybe not massively and maybe not enough, but he's shown enough in defence to indicate that we could bore our way to the world cup (7 1-0 wins and 7 0-0 draws would do for me).

Drawing with Portugal when we were riding high, and a draw with The Netherlands, even though we won, would've been good enough back when we were much better than we are today.

Flippin hell!!

Whats your point, are you trying to say that this was somehow not a disaster of a campaign?

I suppose scraping a 2-1 win against a team ranked 195th in the world is pretty decent alright, or even better a 5-2 defeat to a team ranked 82nd in the world is the type of results we should be aiming for!

Yeah, come to think about it things are all tight, heck we may even be over-achieving! HERE COME THE GOOD TIMES!

I'm talking about home form here kid. Didn't even touch on away form or the campaign in general. Thats another story altogether. Our home form has been better, yes, better, than Kerrs World Cup campaign, thats of course provided we win tomorrow night, which isn't guaranteed at all. But IF (I'm syaing if just incase you decide to jump the gun again) we win tomorrow night, we'll have had a very good home record this time round. THATS HOME RECORD.

So read the post properly, look for where the words 'away' and 'decent campaign' are mentioned before jumping the gun, alright?
