I'm guessing that McClaren's days are numbered, following Saturday's game and media reports of his furious dressing room "row" with Wayne Rooney. Well, just put yourself in his employer's shoes - weighing the odds - will give you a rough idea.

The FA will stand to lose only £2.5 million if they pay McClaren severance and change a new coach. Now, if England fails to qualify for the European Championship, ho ho ho, the FA may lose 40 times the amount.

You do the math.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed but England coach Steve McClaren remains positive, despite the 0-0 draw against Israel in Tel Aviv on Saturday, leaving England in danger of failing to qualify for the tournament.

He doesn't see any undoing to be made for Saturday's match, apart from "sticking goals to the back of the net", and will be keeping the basic team for tomorrow's game (Andora).

"You've got to have great faith and belief in your players and I do, that's what the job is. blah, blah, blah....."

Okay, we heard you McClaren. Just show us the results!!!

Some England football fans are speculating a change of coach is what the team needs, based on the lack of goals during McClaren's regime, except for one in the last five games and none in competitive football since Euro 2004. Many England fans are also not buying tickets for the finals until tomorrow's game.

I've never been so geared up for a football team, and will be keeping a close eye on tomorrow's game. It'll be a pity if England doesn't make it. (There're some pretty cute players there....)
