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 !.

Don't worry Treb you'll get England after coming 2nd in your Group if they (Scots) don't screw it up! :o)

England should win their group.....they might lose a game along the way, but the other sides will take points off each other,.....the thing is that when they meet the Swiss or Bulgarians for the first time is to get a win if it is at home or at least a draw if it is away.....I can see Eire winning their group and Scotland getting a brave second place.....not much scope for Wales, though they might help England's cause by taking a few points of the other sides....Northen Ireland have a difficult group but who knows ? they are capable of a surprise.

Whilst having a pint at my local with a fleet street journalist friend we managed to get on the Terry subjectit appears allegedly that Mr. Terry could be in further heap big sh*twe wont mention his allegedly criminal activitiesbut allegedly Terry has been naughty with Chelseas Portuguese reserve GoalkeeperHenrique Hilario's wifeallegedly and allegedly paid off a number of others over the last eighteen MonthsI believe allegedly this is known by many other journalist that have been allegedly gaggedTerrys wife Toni has also allegedly hintedshe will stay with her Husband
Just to keep it in the familyFrank Lampard has also allegedly seen more of Vanessa Perroncel body than Wayne Bridge or her Wonderbra?.if I could only print all that I was told..wow!.as it was only a rumour by the whole of Fleet Street Kings Roadand the Chelsea reserve teammight not be true lolwe must give all mentionedthe benefit of doubt.they could after all be a good bunch of lads will we end up with a World Cup Team?

Why not talk about the football instead of this unhealthy outlook on who sleeps with whom.....talk about perverts.....plenty of them amongst the media.....

RF.you started this threadand named itWorld cup 2010, What chances for the Home sides and Ireland !. (2010).given the header do you not think John Terrys participation in the cup is less or more important to debate than the Euro draw?

who cares about what dirty bints players pump...got nowt to do with the game......the Euro draw has

Trig I didnt say the Euro draw has nothing to do with the gameI simply said John Terrys participation in the World Cup had more to do with the thread than the Euro draw simple fact that some seem to struggle with u no listen

his antics may affect him being captain..no mention of him not playing...so lets move on...am bored of it.

cracking merseyside derby at the weekend wioth some decent feckin tackling for a change

Saw that one differently personnally - thought Everton were poor, especially when playing against 10 for so long.

Ironically though, I'm not looking forward to our imminent visit there.

Former Wales captain Gary Speed says drawing England represents a great opportunity for a promising young Wales team to qualify for Euro 2012

Your input please Dil!

Message to England from Gary Speed

By the way, has anybody put any bets on England's chances yet for this summer ?, I was thinking of putting something on them reaching the semis....not sure what odds I would get or if it's possible ?.

Cole almost certain to miss the world cup....probably will never play again in the finals....shame....because he's a sharp defender and puts in good fast crosses into the box....thank god it's not Joe Cole who to me is a crucial part of the England side....nothing going right for Ashley Cole at the moment, going from bad to worse...and I'm not too surprised because he was on the slippery downhill slope...

RF - As you probably know JC rarely gets an outing nowadays, so whilst many CFC recognise his abilities, a lack of active playing is bound to cost him/England dear

I hope he's selected.

Beckham against ManU, coming up.....well that should be interesting...

RF - You forgetting Rooney v Beckham, is the issue and as much as I admire Beckham, no contest :o)

I dont quite see it that way ChrsBeckham.is getting on in yearsbut he is a massive influence on any teamhe has been all round the World and succeededa feat not many English players have achieved Rooney is like a Sherman Tanktough tries extremely harddon't always hit the target... and not that pretty to look at.Beckham is like an exocet sleek.lets the ball do the workeloquent in motionand finds the target on most occasionsEnglands greatest player in my lifetime all IMO..

Just watched the Bolton/Spurs matchKevin Davies was superband what a great finishjust what I was saying about Defoe in previous postsDavies hit the goal impossibly earlyhad to watch the replay several timesMan of Match should have been Bale thoughhe is a lad going places.anyway a great gamelook forward to the replay

prodman ... not enough of our players are playing in the Premier League for us to have any realistic hope of qualifying for Euro 2012 but who knows ???

ref post 696....you must be very young.....Kevin Keegan and ......a certain Chris Waddle spring to mind though the latter was never properly used !......Trevor Francis and a few others....Bryan Robson....to me all better than overrated DB....
