All we had to do was draw with Croatia to qualify for Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland… and, well, poor old Steve McClaren, he really blew it, didn’t he?
The England coach was comprehensively outfoxed by his Croatian counterpart Slaven Bilic, and that defeat – to cap a truly dismal qualifying campaign – has cost him his job.
Never mind, we have it on good authority (ie we made it up) that the following tunes are currently on his iPod shuffle – no doubt making him feel a whole lot better…
“Croatian Divorce” – Steely Dan
“Goodnight Vienna” – Ringo Starr
“I Threw It All Away” – Bob Dylan
“5-4-Three-Two-1” – Manfred Mann
“Tango ‘Til They Score” – Tom Waits
“When Euro Gone” – Avril Lavigne
“(Let Me Stand Next To) You’re Fired” Jimi Hendrix
“Trampled Blunderfoot” – Led Zeppelin
“Mac – The Knifed” – Bobby Darin
“Slaven To The Rhythm” – Grace Jones
“Hopeless” Neil Young
