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 !.

Did I say I booed himthink notdidnt agree with booing as it penalized other innocent team members.but what goes round comes round.you play with fire you get burnt! By the way he aint a great defendernot a bad footballerthere is a difference!

Hilary,

I attend every home match my team plays, and i can auusre you that home players are booed, and rightly so sometimes.

they are not overpaid premiership players either, but they take it on the chin as one of the hazards of the trade.

I think Cole epitomises everything I see wrong with the celebrity culture that has embraced premiership footballers, I feel no sympathy for him whatsoever.

You should look at how he treated his former fans and employers, and then his wife!

Would you encourage that sort of behaviour in your children?

Did you boo Lampard when he played for you tabby ?

Bit late Andy but quite agree!... Dil either Lampards owe West Ham nothing!

"probably the best left back in the world" come on hils...yer joking...he is better than average....no more than that...far from world class i am afraid

best three left backs in the world are (in order)

Lahm
Grosso
Zambrotta

Dont believe the premier league hype...Cole would not even get into the top 10

Gareth Bale is better than Cole.

Germany FranceItaly Christyour serious about your football treblemouth.all that travelling must take care of your weekendcant say Ive seen your selections play that often to form an opinion!... I expect your right though?

you do not need to travel to see them play sky sports and setanta cover all of the major leagues in europe and they are all internationals although i have seen the italians play at home and away over the last few years against scotland...the problem with the english is they watch the premiershit and that is it and they assume there is nothing outside of it.

I bet there are also 10 better left backs then Cole in south america but i do not see much of their football

i would put Evra above Cole as a better left back in the Premiershit (aka the league with no soul)

Inverness CT v Hamilton AC your premier league dont do it for me treblmouth.dont have the same ring as Man. Utd v Chelsea.and Dil I aint even going to go there!

it does for me as i live near to hamilton and i go to watch them a few times a year and they have the best young crop of scottish talent in all of our leagues, not overpaid millionaires with no connection to the area.....Chelsea mean nothing to me....and Man U only a passing glance as they have SAF the scottish legend in charge........so each to their own

They still got a couple of English guys at Man U and Celsea then tabby ?

And anyway I thought they were just a couple of Yanky and Russian owned teams playing in England but I guess I'm wrong again.

Treblemouth. Premiershit (aka the league with no soul) . bit harsh.last four years 2 winners..2 runners up from the premiershiplast Scottish finalist just the 28 years ago!.Dil I aint even going to go there!

exactly leek muncher.......

Man U owned by americans, managed by the scottish, played for by foreigners and watched by the cockneys........

lol

tabby......money can buy you anything you want..........try extending that record out for the past 15 years...looks a lot different.....and you are foregeeting Scottish teams have contested the UEFA cup final twice in the last 5 years...not bad for a midget nations

Dil .do I recall that your national rugby team is being coached by a New Zealander.I dont care about foreigners myself all the time they come over here with a job to go to!

Easy to pick the England squad these days .... put all the eligible Priemiership players into a hat and the last one drawn don't get picked (Owen this time).

Yeah and a guy from England who wishes he was Welsh tabby ... uckin great they are too.

Treblemoutha nation of midgets.I remember Billy Bremner?........ UEFA cup final.Mickey Mouse!
