England are a shambles. Half those wickets were given away, and the bowling was village green standard. Sack Bayliss, scrap the ECB, scrap the counties and start again.

I thought his movement was pretty good off the ball, had 1 or 2 shots but his skills when he got the ball was pants. The actor who replaced Seaman was a master of the penalty shootout.

Freddy Adu was the most over hyped player in recent history. US fans used to toss themselves dry over him, as he played first team games when he was 14 or something. He then went to Benfica and/or Ajax and promptly disappeared. Last I heard he was dropped from an MLS team. When I was at university, I used to go on a US football message board called big soccer.com and the yanks were certain he was going to be the next Cruyff, Maradona etc.

I'm all for having a go at agents as they can be very shifty as we all know, but JALs obsession with one in particular is odd. Especially when he never explains why he hates him and his clients so much. So why are Conning and and his clients so evil?

The Scouse agent you always go mental at, though the name may be wrong.

I can't see Sterling as a conventional forward or number 10. He can be a bit selfish and over estimate his shooting ability. He's more of a winger, whereas Rashord is a forward made to play as a winger at Man Utd.

Tyson Fury's comeback was an odd fight. The first two rounds were like a school play/pantomime gone wrong where the actors play to the crowd, who were busy having a drunken fight. Tyson was taking the mickey, watching the crowd fight rather than fighting himself. And then the opponent, a cruiser weight pumped up to heavy weight decided 'eff it I'm off home' before the 5th round started. Fury did not look that sharp, but mentally he seems to have his mojo back and is in a happy place. Frank Warren just said, Windsor Park in August is next.

I think England will do better than the last few tournaments. Southgate has not made a tit of himself yet, and it seems that there are fewer egos than the last few squads. And by better I mean actually competing in the group games and probably getting through rather than losing to Tunisia 4-2.

Le Tissier is the opposite of Ronaldo in terms of drive and desire. He had huge ability, but was in the comfort zone's hotel in terms of how hard he pushed himself to be the best.

Robin was also on a Super Furry Animals cover. Man don't give a f--k I think.

I remember my dad and his mates waking me up when Platt scored against Belgium. We lived in Hong Kong which his about 8 hours ahead, and it was probably being hosted by a a teacher in my school called Paul Cunningham on the TV.

S--t on the villa. Good to see they may have a moment of fear. The fans have delusions of adequacy, and it might upset junkie Merson if they imploded.

Hey let us make any convoluted equation to show that our country is relevant. I remember Australia doing the same during the 2008 Olympics when they could not handle Britain spanking them in the medals table. Don't bite the hand that feeds you dryhorse, or one day the rest of the UK will stop subsidising all your methadone. Enjoy watching the world cup, knowing that even if England lose 8-0 every game, they did better than an embittered nation whose identity is defined by the hatred of one nation, and the pathetic apeing and idolisation of the difficulties of another.

Yes it is a blatant Scottish accent, but the whole of Great Britain is 'England' to Americans because they are insular and thick.

Generally speaking it is rubbish, but there are some players good enough for the Premier league and a promotion challenging championship team. As a competition for the title, it is non existent.

So when are we going to get the £20m+ needed to overhaul our squad and challenge the relegated teams' financial power? And it is about finding the right players in those leagues. Players like Damien Duff, Tugay, Delli Alli or Jamie Vardy.

That's what I thought, but I think the shirt sponsor was a children's hospice.

So a consortium led by a former agent, with Paul Senior who I believe has links to certain agents might take over Vile. And with no idea who the British business people are. Nothing to worry about at all if you support them! A quick look at Matt Southall suggests he has tried to lead a group that attempted to buy Newport County, he runs some sort of academy with Cameron Jerome and owns an employment agency called Acorn.

Broad needed to be publicly criticised to get a performance out of him. He's been trading on past performances for years barring the odd miracle spell. Where is the winter tour this year? I'd be tempted to keep him at home if it's somewhere like Sri Lanka.

I used to drink Newcastle brown when I was young and went to Esquires in Bedford. That's mainly because the pints were Charles Wells eagle, the worst beer made or scrumpy jack which was like battery acid.

That last point is very true Frosty. If Biesla has a bad month or two, he'll be out and someone else will come in . The rate they're going it's only a matter of time before Coyle is hired.

Steven Ireland? No way, he's a nailed on Murphy mark II.

They gloated when Coventry City fell apart under SISU, with junkie Merson leading the way, they mocked Newcastle when they went down so suck it up Vile.

Redknapp will be on good terms with all the iffy agents though and could have a word for Frank about player X. Or maybe his dog will do that.

King was pretty mediocre or injured when he played for us. He probably responded to Eddie Howe and his coaches better than ours, just like Mark Hughes could get Craig Bellamy to perform.
