Why oh why is Rooney so deep ? WE are never going to score with Heskey up alone.

His first touch was f**king awful

Lampard off, Stevie G into the middle, Joe Cole on

Jesus, how bad are we again. IS LAMPARD PLAYING ???

So another one of our nailed-on certs that everyone was assuming was ours has gone elsewhere. Starting to get worried about our transfer activity again... And I dont buy this "there's a World Cup on and everyone is on holiday" bullsh*t, otherwise we wouldnt know Bailey was going elsewhere...

ORLY ? Not only have we got to beat Algeria and Slovenia first, we then have to beat Germany or Ghana

Well, they are getting away with it, arent they ? It has nothing to do with playing "fans favourites" or not. His team selections had players out position and excluded due to petty personal vendettas, his tactics were crap, and his substitutions were awful. He blew the family silver and condemned this club to an uncertain existence. And the returns where we played really good were few and far between. Then he gave Leon Best the first peno....

Yes, since he is an elected member of Her Majesty's Parliament.

Strange, I thought the issue of justice and truth for all sides was very pertient to a lasting peace in Ulster... Besides, it was the IRA who decided to piggy-back terrorist activity on to this peaceful rights march.

Poor Palace. Just about manage to haul themselves out of the frying pan, now they fall into the fire....

I thought it was much quieter last night on TV here in Austria, and wondered if the OB or the local national broadcasters have already introduced noise cancellation. Problem with that is, if the Vuvuzelas are still killing singing in the stands, all we will hear on TV is silence...

Well I consider this to be good news.

Definitely taking some getting used to..

How about justice and truth for the grieving families of people killed by the IRA ? Dont they deserve it ? I must have missed the Omagh convictions...

Really ? The Saville enquiry indicates quite clear that there is a suspicion that the Official IRA DID fire back and that it is impossible to exclude McGuinness from having fired too.

No he didnt. The major breakthrough was down to John Major.

This has been the common perception of the TSR2 story for many years now. And I believed it too. However, I read somwhere that some government documents have been recently de-classified that indicated that the TSR2 was cancelled because there was no weapon it could carry to justify its development and unit cost. Skybolt had just been cancelled by JFK and MacMillian had prevented the development of a high-yield version of the WE177 (it was later developed anyway)

A truly hilarious portrayal of one of the most repugnant men on this planet.

They played well, and apart from a freak goal by Mr. Jabulani, would have got a point. I felt for the number 9 when he was sobbing for their national anthem - I know I would do the same. The only thing I didnt like was watching their coreographed and hand-picked for political reliability fans in the crowd. Half of North Korea is starving to death.

The people I really blame is those nice men in nice white coats at Loughborough University who came up with the design, who in a classical piece of British Scientific f**k-up...er...research, came up with a ball design for a tournament at high altitude but never checked its performance in the environment where it was to come to the attention of the public...

I suggest you blame Mr. Jabulani for this... To me, its not a surprise that the only team that have looked accomplished and comfortable is the German team, who all play in the Bundesliga, where that bloody ball has been in constant use since December. Nice display of impartially, Addidas...

If there is one team that starts the WC slower than England, its Italy. However, they actually IMPROVE as the tournament progresses, big difference.

The man bankrolling the club ?

Bad news - they have decided to let them stay...

I hate them because of their pathetic chip on their shoulder which allows them to beat up kids in wheelchairs for wearing an England shirt.
