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 !.

lol.... when was the last time you watched a scottish premier league game?

Treble

As a Chelsea boy through and through, the idea that there are only two sides in this years race is laughable.

Form wise, Chels and Liverpool have both had good calendar 2008's, but who would rule the mancs or gooners out ?

Or did you have another 2 in mind ?

the winner will be man u or chelsea yet again

Re the batsman quote - I've just found this :-

Urban myth alert, I'm afraid.

It's been attributed to John Arlott, Brian Johnston and Don Mosey at various times, but none of them ever said it. Jonathan Agnew went through the BBC Radio archives to try and find it, and it just didn't happen.

On the other hand, John Arlott really did say (referring to the New Zealand all rounder Bob Cunis, who he felt lacked Test Match quality as either batsman or bowler).

"His name is Cunis. Not really one thing or the other."

Correcting my post 90 - I've just found this !

It was Johners!
