Rob reflects on England, does not make good reading

England’s World Cup is over after yet another embarrassingly shite display GERMANY 4-1 ENGLAND Yes, we were robbed of a CLEAR goal when Lampards shot hit the bar and bounced down at least 3 feet behind the line. It was 2-1 to Germany at the time, and an equaliser just before half time MIGHT have [...]

England out, when will Milner go

First I have to say that today James Milner was one of the few England players who could hold their heads up high.

Milner HAS to play for England against Slovenia

After today’s disaster performance against Algeria it is clear that Fabio Capello needs to make drastic changes for the nest ultimate MUST WIN game against Slovenia. My team for this game would be Hart (james will be dropped for what he said after the game) Johnson, Dawson, Terry, Cole (no choice really but Terry has [...]
