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 !.

I had 10 on him to make the the top 6....not even that...betting...arrrr....

Tabby, hardly think Vettell is a failure, if he is that must put you on a level with Tim Henman, a failure for sure.

The Octopus deserves a knighthood.....or a position in the house of lords.....

Clubbydid you read the post? "Sebastian Vettell nearly got to the first bend in front yesterday"

Paul the octupus has retired apparently.

Dil - he has gone here :-)

:-)

Thought he'd retired already.. about ten years ago.

Not before time.

Gutted , was relying on him to play against Wales in the Euro 2012 qualifiers.

Be just my luck if the equally useless Lampard and Terry threw the towel in to.

Never mind Dil, you lot could always give a recall to that great Welshman Vinny Jones. Was it your milkman he was related to? tee hee!

And a very proud Welshman he was too !

We got three players who would have walked into that England WC team ... Giggs (answer to your left side problem but has retired from international football) , Gareth Bale of Spurs and Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal (except he has a broken foot but will end up being better than Giggs one day !).


... and Michael Owen is Welsh but no one mentions that :-)

Another 8 and we would have walked the WC.

Dilyou could have had Michael Owena 22carat useless twat that had ten good games in his whole careeryour other threecant argue there

And I'm sure you were saying that after the Germany / Argentina matches tabby !

Ramsey is something special ... Man U missed out big time there.

Owen could be compared with Murray both boring b******* and both never getting to the top of their game. Throw in Henman and you have the set.

Dildo I always have to repeat myselfMichael Owena 22carat useless twat that had ten good games in his whole career

Short memories...anybody remember Michael Owen....winning the UEFA cup plus Super cup...destroying Bayern Munich and a certain 5-1 away win with the national side plus the "ballon d'or"...european player of the year award....

do I always have to repeat myself againMichael Owena 22carat useless twat that had ten good games in his whole career

Bad luck with injuries.....and the ten games must have been fantastic....you are a little harsh....
