Crazy Diamond

If we beat Italy, I'll finally get the disappointment of seeing England lose to Germany in a semi-final. Too young in 1990, didn't see 1996.

Good news: England v Italy will be on the BBC.

FiveLive reporting it, and they have a habit of getting it right and only saying it if it's true. EDIT: Just as I say that, the person who relayed it to the world has just said "Will look into the Moyes claims. Don't think there's anything in it."

Good good, I rather fancy the game on Sunday. In other news, David Moyes has apparently left Everton.

If we concede it's DellDays' fault.

Not that big a fan of Lescott but he's done well, I agree.

So the goal that should have been is a goal that actually shouldn't have been because Milevskyi was offside. Both incidents went unnoticed by the officials. So they're twice as incompetent.

Goal line assistant earning his money there as well... Shocking officials.

I'm sorry for your loss. How the hell didn't that linesman see that was offside? I hope he'd have put his flag up if it had gone in...

I've heard good things about that book, also Jonathan Wilson's 'Football Behind the Iron Curtain'.

I don't want people to think I'm making Milner a scapegoat but he really hasn't performed at this tournament. I don't think it's unkind to say that.

Don't buy that. We don't question whether other great players can play together, why say it about Lampard and Gerrard?

Typical dune with your mother England approach to everything.

Played in the correct position. Probably has some bearing on it.

GOAL. Third assist of the tournament for Gerrard, with a decent ball, James Milner take note. It's amazing though, all the top journos really rate him. Against Sweden we were told they couldn't handle crosses into the box, so you want a decent crosser. Milner was ****e and he was substituted. How is that any good then?

S'alright, I'm sure a flare will take care of that when Ukraine score.

Generally speaking if they're playing for one of Ukraine's biggest clubs, we won't be able to afford them.

That said, I'd rather have Adam Johnson playing right now as opposed to Milner.

Well he also plays for City, that helps. Work hard and play for the champions. What more do we want?

He works hard, that's why. We all forget that working hard is enough.

Milner with the cross... and it's missed everyone. Now there's a surprise.

Sick of them. Nearly as bad as those ****ing vuvuzelas.

From a FIFA licenced agent on Twitter: "Paying Pavel Pogrebnyak a reported £65,000 a week isn't the way to run a FC £13 Million in wages, can get far better in the European Market." It's a bad deal.

This montage of England - I've watched all those clips with a BBC commentary instead of Clive Tyldesley, and it makes me WANT to pay the TV licence. ITV are so bad.

Ha, Robbie Earle. He's not been allowed back after flogging his World Cup 2010 tickets. Classy.
