What a night, in contrast to some awe inspiring weekends of rugby, last night was an abysmal evening of sport.
Only Wales could manage a win, while England and Scotland lost out to Russia and Georgia, and Northern Ireland drew with Sweden, the best result of the night.
After a brief purple patch England returned to old ways yesterday afternoon, and are now relying on Israel nicking some points off the Russians to have a chance of reaching the finals.
I can just about remember when England failed to qualify for the '94 World Cup when we conceded an early yet crucial goal to San Marino. I remember being dumbfounded then, and now it's happening again.
To be honest watching England play football has never been something I enjoy or look forward to, and secretly I would be quite relieved if England don't reach the finals.
It is a shame though, I honestly thought the team had turned a corner after recent results, but I guess that was fairly naive of me, England football will always be the same, disappointing.

Surely its time for a shake up! Chuck the stars and get some youth in to form a TEAM, not just individuals!
Get Robinson out, then Mclaren I say. a shake up sounds good, maybe even ditch Owen? Bit harsh maybe.
Too many Prima Donnas - Not enough Maradonnas, that's our problem. Plus we have a manager whose greatest achievement was getting beat in the UEFA cup final 4-0. Hopefully this will be the last lap for McClaren and then we can get someone in who actually knows what he's doing - My vote's for Cappello!
Mourinho's the man, thats if he turns down a reported offer of 10mill a year (tax-free) to manage the mighty UAE on their way to (Gulf?!?) cup glory! The England job is perfect for him, he gets the chance to quit every 2 years after a major tourney so when his ideal club job comes up they can wait for him.
McClaren was a terrible choice at the time, hired despite being mid-table at best with the 'boro. A shame, a major championship shouldn't be without England.
