True enough but been scanning the papers today, reading the reaction to the result and the media are all looking to blame someone, but depending on the clumnist you read you'll get an entirely different person attacked for 'costing' us qualification.
Just interested to see who the fans, based on the BOA sample;), really think should be held responsible for the failure.
Ironically we did play well in Russia and McLaren, by luck more than judgement, had finally stumbled across a team that could play together, but too little too late to save him and, imo, the Lescott at left-back decision has to be the nail in his coffin.
If only he'd have picked Phil Neville.
As for missing Terry - I'm not so sure that was really a problem - Campbell and Ferdinand formed a good partnership - just as they have on many occasions in the past.
