Thought I'd start a football blog, we might keep this going until 2010.....England doing well....did not see the match or even the goals....I'd like Michael owen back in the squad though....and I think Peter Crouch would make a very good substitute...remember against Argentina in Geneva a few years ago....with Michael Owen and some very good movements on and off the ball...they caused havoc.....did see Scotland's missed chance....that could be very costly losing those 2 points !.

Well said Tabby, but these super stars heads are full of their own self importance. I have a good idea if they win more games than lose in the year tax them at 0 if they lose more tax them 98% of all global earnings.

why was Gerrard, the captain, so quiet? the press conference following the match said both he and fabio would make statements and answer questions, and yet he didnt.maybe he did but i didnt hear it.did i miss something? surely the england captain had a right to put forward and speak up for and on behalf of the team players. dont he?
an apology or at the very least an explanation would have been acceptable. why didnt he speak or be allowed to answer questions? or did he and was he? did i miss it?

hmm, seems the article I posted earlier about Gerrard and Rooney may have some foundation, just been informed both have pulled out of a charity type do in 2 weeks time. Seemingly its on the teletext board on page 302 BBC 1.

gf
its all speculation.
what does the chart say? -;)

And hands up who gives a shit anyway!

Might explain why Rooney looked shagged out Chris..........smile.

Naaah goldfinger, he was well shagged out well before he arrived in SA carrying Man U, playing with an injury when Ferguson should have rested him, that is by the bye incidentally Man U pay his wages at the end of the day. Cannot see the point in in all this rumour mongering regarding who is shagging who. England were crap end of! Capello hopefully will have learned an awful lot about managing an International side and as long as they stuff Wales and hopefully get an opportunity to stuff Scotland(again) in the Euro Championship, the futures bright :o)

For once I agree with tabby but would also keep Gerrard ... rest of the overpaid , overated crap should be got rid of.

Given the last internet rumour about Gerrard was unfounded (probably started off by some sad Chelsea fan) then I wouldn't be suprised if this one is more bullsh*t although the split in the camp was along the lines of Terry and the Chelsea Chumps and Gerrard/Carragher apparently.

Wait and see

Anyway...anybody got a bet on the Dutch beating the Carioca boys ?.

Until there is a clear out of the knobheads who run the English FA, a mandate giving the England manager a lot more power and support over Premiership managers on the release of players, we might just see some progress. Jamie Carragher World Cup 2006 missed a penalty, his response "At least it wasn't for Liverpool" he should never been allowed to put on England shirt again. Until the Club v Country situation is resolved if it ever can be, then any manager in charge of England will continue to struggle. Tabby might just have the answer?

How will we take this man seriously?

clubam...maradonna is a legend...always has been, always will be.
