Is now a bad time to mention the words 'Greece' and 'Old Trafford'?

All over.

At least the commentator managed to immediately point out the silver lining at the games end:

"Thats It. Steve McClaren will almost certainly be out of a job."

What a crock of shit, effectively we are out of the finals, well done McClown you red faced vodka drinking loser, go die somewhere. Bring back Sven, at least he got us to the finals.

You see it time and time again in football, (us more than most), you sit back on a lead and you get punished.

Fine finish from Rooney. The Russians are nuts. Thats support for you.

Sit back? From the sounds of things we had no choice but to defend.

I think you have to say hats off to the Ruskies and to Hiddink for getting them to come out like that second half.

McClaren made the biggest fuck up of his tenure tonight by letting Russia have the advantage with to players who were used to the pitch. If anything Rooney or Owen should have been subbed around 60mins. And to think he put a grass genius like Joe Cole out there for more than an hour is just absurd.

Foot. Shot.

England. Out.

if Russia get 6 points from their remaining fixtures (away to Israel and home vs Macedonia), England are out no matter what they do

I was always a supporter of Sven as i knew he was a world class coach. Some England fans wanted rid of him, fair enough but NO ONE wanted McClown in charge coz they knew this would happen. For a team such as ours not to qualify for a big tournament is a disgrace, i havent enjoyed watching England for a long time and this game is just another one to add to the list of crap this team has produced in recent years. McClown gone, build a new squad now ready for the WC

Spot on there ASE and Stoof. Them Commie bastards did well.

Reminds me of the Holland game where Koeman should have been sent off before his free-kick stopped us going to USA94.

I bet McClaren is at this very moment thinking "Do I not like Ruskies".

We did have a choice, but it was Mac's choice. He made a glaring error in the face of Hiddink.

He showed no interest in a result come the 2nd half.

Shaun should have been replaced. Owen or Rooney should have been replaced. And bringing on Lampard to rescue a game is definitely not in Frank's interest.

Hiddink will be crowned a genius, but in fact he made it simple.

McClaren complicated matters and got royally fucked.

That was a faffing disgrace.

Couldn't string more than two passes together, at 65 mins having missed two great chances to go 3-0 up our boys are strolling about thinking :

"Hmm, must get the WAGs to sort out dates for next summers weddings, fashion events and reality progs 'cos it looks like were off to Austria and Switzerland next summer!

Now we know where Switzerland is cos that's where we keep our millions, but Austria ? Oh Yeah - Thats where the kangaroos come from dont they ?

Tactically inept, McClown really has shot his bolt I think.
