The trick is to not get arrogant or take anything for granted. I fear we may fall foul of that.

Yeah, i'm kinda getting used to it already. Damnit.

The old look forum. :'(

This will take a bit of getting used too. It just seems so much more.... elaborate. Not sure if I like it. Ce la vie!

This has been truly stunning! Battloes all the way down the field, the top five within 5 seconds of each other and some cracking overtakes.... ...As Button takes Alonso!!!!! If Hamilton hasn't looked after his tyres correctly, Button could have him.

Erm, you do realise we were joking when we sang 'Kelvin for England' up at Hillsborough in November 07.... right?

Has to be this:

Robert Koren! Another keeping howler!!!! 1-0 to Slovenia.

He must not play the next game. He has hardly had a glittering season anyway so his start v the States was a mystery to me. The mistake there and the resulting effects (conscious or otherwise) just compound the problem. Joe Hart should play with the Skate as experienced backup. His inexperience can be tempered by the fact the next two oponents we'll play are not to the USA's standard.

It's a shirt for it's time. As such, maybe you are right, but it will have served it's purpose well. We have a wonderful year to look forward too, if we burn out in the process, outstanding.

Pink ticket? By the time I had left they had gone into their second book of raffle tickets.

Mick McCarthy is so boring.

Yeah, they were going quite rapidly. Some people where buying up to 4 each at a time for people who couldn't be bothered heading down there! They really should have had a cap on the number you could buy each, it wasn't like there would have been a problem shifting them.

Now, had you asked. Incidentally, if anyone wants my 125 anniversary scarf the bidding begins at £40.......

Free Scarf - £7.

+1, She was a little cracker.

Back in Cov now, utterly chuffed with the shirt, it's a stunner. It feels almost too plain to be a football shirt in this era, but I can certainly live with that!

Number 599. They're on about 150 right now. Great atmosphere down here, hope those scarves don't run out.

Stunning save there from Khune. Great strike too to force it.

That is a surprise. Great strike from Tshabalala.

Because ITV is total balls.

You are the luckiest man i've ever met.

That's a good idea. Sue them for mental and physical distress. Ooooooooo, close. Come on Mexico, shut up those f**king horns!!!!

And what a surprise, the ref seems to giving soft calls to the hosts.

Oh god, they are doing my head in!!!!!!! And it's only 12 minutes into the ENTIRE tournament.
