Chris Coleman. Why the fukk did he go to Sunderland???

[Harry Monk]

I always said that Coleman was overrated and he was very lucky to manage a Wales team that was already a team of pal's who had played together for years. Plus of course a world class player and several others who are top quality.
Any of us on this board could have managed that team. Showed he was useless when he failed to get us to Russia

Had this very conversation with someone this morning. We qualified for the Euros when we lost a game because other results went our way. We failed to qualify for the WC because our (Coleman's) tactics allowed teams we should have beaten, back into games to hold us to a draw.

Whilst the summer of 2016 was brilliant, we were lucky to be there.

that's some proper bollocks fair play. Had Israel beaten Cyprus the night we qualified that would have left us facing the HUGE task of getting a point at home against the mighty Andorra to qualify, and that was only if Israel won away in Belgium

Of course it's bo11ocks, that's why we did so well in the WC qualifiers. Seeded 1st, finished 3rd.

Andorra is good team to pick. We did really well against them (not) compared to the other teams in our group. Records v Andorra -

Bosnia W2 Goals F6 A0 +6
Cyprus W2 Goals F8 A1 +7
Israel W2 Goals F8 A1 +7
Belgium W2 Goals F10 A1 + 9
Wales W2 Goals F4 A1 +3 (and we were lucky in the away game when the ref allowed us a re-take of a free kick which Bale had originally missed)
