that its acceptable for gay people to have a genuine passion for football. I like real individuals :-)

Like Elton needs the money from what would have been a successful bet lol!
From an Arsenal fan, Graham is a legend and I have a lot of respect for him and Steve Mclaren, after all you have to be fantastic at club level to even be considered as viable for England manager.
Was a happy day for Elton as well, a pleasant end to not such a great few years (losing Diana etc) and i'm straight (as u can tell by what i usually check out on YouTube!) but i think elton is a great individual and proves

Thats the thing though, i think he came across very well in that fly on the wall documentary. He was taking a lot of stick from the press but always kept his dignity. I think most of the players liked him as well. Look at the bit when he is standing by the changing rooms after a victory that saved his job, nearly all the players hug him and say 'see you next month boss'.
Also his pre match speech versus the dutch away at the end of that documentary is so inspirational! Shame we didn't win.

brilliant day.
Would just like to pay tribute to a gentleman in Graham Taylor. He took a lot of shit off people when England manager but always kept his dignity. A nice man and good club manager. From an Orient fan.

Thanks for that comment Charlie..
As a long standing Watford supporter ive always looked at Taylor's time as national boss with mixed emotions.
I would admit to the fact that he made a few mistakes during that time..but as you say he remained dignified throughout(minus one infamous "fly on the wall" documentary!)
At Watford we will always regard him as one of "ours".. and his time as England boss is of less relevance to what he did for us.
