Kazakhstan's Twelfth Man


Hey Boo Boys.

I have a question for you.

And another.

Just how does booing your own side help?

Despite Capello's pleas before the game for fans to be patient, you still thought booing the players off at half time was the right thing to do.

And when Ashley Cole made that stupid mistake, you decided to show your true fanship and boo him too.

I'm not saying they played perfectly. Far from it. There will silly mistakes and the passing was at times inaccurate and clunky.

But it was also obvious that they were trying to do things differently. There were some really good sequences and they certainly seemed less clueless than in other recent performances.

Capello has said it's going to take time for the England team to start to really perform to the potential we know they have.

What we all need to ask ourselves is are we prepared to invest a little belief and patience in the process?

Or are we going to continue to be the twelfth man for the other side?

Ashley Cole aint gotta worry about Wednesday - he is out injured.

I know that in my playing days nothing made me play better than a load of people jeering me.

Footy fans are just tools sometimes.
