The England Football Coach, Sven Groan Ericsson is appearing on "Who wants to be a Millionaire?"

He has reached the million pound question and Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sven, this one is for a million pounds, and remember you still have two lifelines left, so please take your time.

Here's your question : What type of animal lives in a Sett?"
Is it,
A) a badger
B) a ferret
C) a mole OR
D) a cuckoo?

Remember that he's from Sweden and some unusual English words may not be known to him. Sven ponders for a while, and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not sure. I'll have to go 50:50. "Right, Sven, we'll take away two wrong answers and you are left with BADGER and CUCKOO.

Sven has a long think, then scratches his head and says, "No, Chris, I'm still not sure. I'll phone a friend" "Who are you going to call, Sven?", asks Chris.

"Hmmmmm, I think I'll call David Beckham", says Sven.

So Chris telephones David Beckham. "David, this is Chris Tarrant from 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?'. I've got Sven Goran Ericsson here and with your help he could win a million pounds. The next voice you ill
hear will be Sven's".

"Hello, David" says Sven. "It's the boss here. What type of animal lives in a sett? Is it a badger or a cuckoo?"

"It's a badger, boss", says David without any hesitation.

"Are you sure, son?" asks Sven.

"Definitely, boss. One hundred per cent. It's a badger. Definitely."

"Right, Chris," says Sven, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger."

"Is that your final answer, Sven?" asks Chris.

"Yes!" says Sven.

"That's the correct answer, you've won the million pounds!!"

Wild celebrations ensue in the studio .....

Next morning at football training, Sven calls David across. "Son, that was brilliant last night. I thought I might be taking a gamble giving you a call, but you played a blinder! But how did you know that a badger lives in a sett?"

"Oh ..., I didn't, boss." replies David, "but everyone knows a cuckoo lives in a clock"

Message currently on the refs website:

'Im Moment können leider keine E-Mails versendet werden.'

which roughly translates to 'You can't send any emails right now.'

No surprise, but you can leave feedback.

We all know svens a poor manager as well as a lier.

Smiffy16 · 26-06-2004, 17:46

What makes you think Sven is a poor manager and a liar??

simon · 26-06-2004, 23:30

well said Smiffy

Neal · 27-06-2004, 01:28

I think Sven should stay, we won that match!

He's a good manager, and beckam just made a few mistakes, but we all do.

Going to bed now, brain melting.......Night!

Indeed. It wasn't the England team at fault. It was the refereeing.

And unfortunately he was the first one to take a penalty and discover he was also playing against a Portugese mole. The others were at least made aware of the problem once they'd seen his effort.

slater_scott · 27-06-2004, 13:43

Well i thought that his tactics were poor, everytime we went in the lead in a match we sat back and defended.

And him being a liar; he signed a contract with blackburn rovers but never honoured it.

Smiffy16 · 27-06-2004, 20:15

Sven's my choice anyway I feel he is the right man still for the job and take us on to big things, Same with Beckham, yes he missed 2 penalties, but he is still an excellent leader and still one of the best players in the game.

Only critiscm of Sven is his selections, taking Emile Heskey, I cant believe he picked him over James Beattie and Alan Smith both having excellent seasons domestically. Also is there anyone who rates Owen Hargreaves? Does he play well for Bayern? Does he actually get a game a Bayern??

All our players will be in their "prime" in our next major tournament who says we cant do it!

Bring on the World Cup.........

simon · 27-06-2004, 22:30

Yeh I agree

We have not looked this good for a long time.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............. ..

So Sven and Becks must be doing something right

Just the luck was against us OH and a ref...

KIPAX · 28-06-2004, 00:55

Put an Englishman in charge of the English team...Get Terry Venables back and lets win summat

Tealeaf · 28-06-2004, 17:10

Right on Kipax...............Smirking Sven should have had his p45 the moment he stepped off that plane. His reign has produced nowt over the last years and there is no reason to think that will change by World Cup 06. Lets stop blaming everthing else - the ref, the pitch,bad luck - apart from the team. The simple fact is that team was not good enough. We need an Englishman in there, and fast.

There is however, one person, who stands out for his arrogance and his incompitance and that is Beckham. Not satisfied with stating, quote, " I am digusted that people are challenging my leadership" he is now trying to shift the blame for his own pathetic performance to club colleagues at Real Madrid by stating the training regime there was of insufficient rigour (Not his words, this time....he's to stupid to understand their meaning)

Beckham did nothing for England in this tournament; his only feeble efforts were his failed penaltys in pursuance of the flattering of his vanity. I suspect the Spaniards will now be getting rid of the fool...I can't see Chelsea having him. Maybe the Japenese J league may have a role for him, selling his "Shu-****e" bum cream at half time on the telly....because thats about all he's good for.

KIPAX · 28-06-2004, 17:36

Always regret not seeing Brian Clough as manager of England.. If the people who choose had some sort of backbone then he would have taken us to glory in his time.

AccyStanFan · 28-06-2004, 17:38

bex will end up in qatar with the rich arabs, isnt that what frank le bouf did when he was getting on?
