More good news

The Germans only managed a derisory nil - nil draw against Wales today. How useless is that?
Germany and Wales played out a tame goalless draw in their final Euro 2008 qualifier on Wednesday.
Germany, long since assured of qualifying for the finals along with Group D winners Czech Republic, created a handful of good chances in the first half but the match petered out after the break.
Wales, with nothing riding on the game, competed well enough but rarely threatened Jens Lehmann’s goal.
The closest they came was in the 35th minute when Carl Fletcher flashed a shot wide from outside the area.
Germany had already wasted the game’s best opportunities by that stage.
Lukas Podolski cracked over a shot from a good position in the 10th minute, Tim Borowski hit a post soon afterwards and Mario Gomez planted a header wide from close range after Philipp Lahm had picked him out with a cross from the left.

McLaren’s execution is scheduled for 8.30 this morning. According to the Grauniad, bookies have Mourinho as favourite to succeed him (yes please), followed by Martin O’Neill (alright), with the Lion at very long odds (be still my beating heart–but it ain’t gonna happen). There is the requisite burble that the job must go to an ‘Englishman’–fine if they want their team condemned to perpetual failure.

Shearer as the next England manager?
That would make for interesting press conferences.

“I told the lads to plant one on the French fullback just to liven things up a bit.”
