Praise be for St James as Rafa’s wrangle lingers on

THOSE idiots who said England were a certainty for Euro 2008 — how stupid must they feel, eh?

Feeling no desire for omniscience, I fully admit Croatia made me look a fool last week. We’re not talking McClaren-stupid, just enough for me to avoid rash predictions in future.

The hysteria here gets worse. Forget an entire first-choice defence and attack was missing, while the goalkeeper and Gerrard were indescribably awful. This was a night of shame and infamy and that’s that.
