Don't apologise for your mates Mike, they're not an isolated bunch. It's happening all over the Premiership now. You've done your bit, that's all you can do.

I bet he made Duffer go to the bar for him and get the drinks, bring them over and then miss his mouth with the glass from 2 inches.

I was sure that was going to happen sooner or later last night.

Taken apart is a bit strong Jan. Aside from Denmark in a mad friendly, I cannot recall anyone taking us apart . (Presuming that this means a three or four goal dubbing) Even when we play badly, and this has been fairly regular over the last few years, even the best sides find it difficult to actually beat England. Look how many games SGE actully lost in his reign, forgetting Penalties. Which is also a weakness as well as a strength. Too cautious, too scared to loose.

Well Den, the Rovers fans want a big name and they dont come much bigger than Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Could be worth a run for 12 months?

What do reckon of this gadget? Bogus or kosher? Free PPV

Old Riverdance is getting pelters from the crowd!! Class!

Just got a message from Lucas Neill, my "hero" From HeroMessage@telstra.com Subject Your Hero has replied Dear Ozz, Your messages throughout the World Cup were a great inspiration. On behalf of all the boys, I'd like to thank you for all your heartfelt messages. Lucas Neill 6:56:32 PM 5/07/2006 PS I'm off to Milan, so thanks for everything and good luck in the relegation scrap! Cheeky Twank!

Not as good as me scotch eggs though.

Dont care, thinking about making some Scotch Eggs.

Admit it Waggy, you never left England all summer, never punched the bloke at work, didn't run a bar in Portugal and have been concocting your international tales of derring-do from a bunker somewhere under Blackburn college library.

I think the key is this quote from JW on the official site- "Francis has signed a heavily incentivised contract for the player to perform"

Looking forward to Rooneys take on the sending off.

Well at least we got rid of Captian Beige Beckham Cries Like a girl.

Even with Rooney on I do not think we would have won. Football is really getting on my tits now, just seen fat Ronaldo cheat and try and get a free kick off France, Bellamy bogging off rubbish reffing at Englands match and Lucas Neil and so on Tes I have been drinkikng

I am surprisingly not bothered by Englands exit.

You sounded like Dick Emery there SAR. If England lose today, and play crap then this will go down as a terrible tournament for us. Win but play crap, then the jury is out Win and play well, christ prepare for media overload. Lose and play well is the most likely outcome for me.

This Guardian article reveals the new, tough, mean side to SGE. Personally, I like it too. Gruaniad "Don't tell me I don't know what to do," he said. "I know exactly what to do." "Ghana have played wonderful football. Ivory Coast have played wonderful football. Holland and Spain, the same... But where are they? Tell me, where are these four teams now? At home, that's where. And we are here." Stick it to 'em Sven!

Dogs are crap. Get yer sen a cat. Much classier, I've got one going cheap!

D'oh!

Not really, other than it's got that bit of magic in the air. I have been to Wembley for cup finals, centre court Wimbledon for tennis, Lords for a cup final and they all share the same aura. Saw Lancs become the first team to win both domestic cups in one season in 1990, that was superb. Also saw Chorley twice win the national cricket club trophy, although the crowd was slightly down compared to Lancs matches! The museum is very interesting, with the little urn on display!

Have you been to Lords before Paul?

You going to Lords as well then Paul?

Englands problem as ever, apart from the usual one(SGE ) is the same as has been for Liverpool, Man Utd and now Chelsea. That is to say noone likes us, and everyone wants to beat us. Every game England play is like a Cup Final for the opposition, they put in 'an obscene amount of effort' . The ROTW hate England, the obnoxious thug fans, the arrogant press and the overpaid players. Beating England in any game is an end in itself.
