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 !.

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!

Face facts you aint up to scratch?.we wont mention the Welsh Teams.
Couldnt think of much else to talk about?

i did not say celtic were full of scottish plyers that was hamitlon and i did say they would get hammered so do keep up

No offence trig. You have suffered enough!!.they done their bestwhich wasnt very good

How many of the eight "English" goals scored last night were scored by Englishmen ?

i am not a celtic supporter so last night did not matter too much....

eaxcalty dil as i i have said beofre money can buy you anything.......soulless football....I notice you did not mention gary caldwell, stephen mcmanus, mark wilson, barry robson, aiden mcgeady scott brown or sean maloney....all scottish players playing last night

Cletic had 4 foreigners playing last night and 2 on the bench....what about Man U?

Trig... I have not got a problem with foreign playersthey come over here with a job to go to.and pay taxes!..I had to get that in!our young players learn a lot training with more skilful talent if Celtic played with eleven foreignersthat would be okand if that gave Celtic a winning European teamIm sure Celtic fans would all approveyour view trig is ok for semi-pro footballto which I have some past knowledgeand great for the best homegrowns to mature!

absolute nonsense and shows you know as much about football as you do about investing in shares......foreigners keep young players out of teams and stop them progressing....

i think you just like to make arguments as some of your points are so stupid they must just be to try and get a reaction.

try and talk about hockey or skipping or something....as you know bugger all about anything else :-))

You are so wrong Trigplayers did not even know about diets until foreign influences changed our thoughtsball skills were seldom taught in trainingunlike the Italians.. French Dutchalcohol was drunk even on match daysthe young lads that start at small clubs now know what is expectedthey make their choice.girls..drugs.. and boozeor dedication and successit is very much harder nowbut the very best always succeed!our leagues would be very much poorer quality without the worlds best footballersour youngsters have a benchmark to aspire to!
