England v. Algeria

[Smokin Joe]

As bad as that was, we're still in it.

We've got to hope for a reaction against Slovenia, the players now know it's shoot or bust and it may have a positive result. Personally, I would start without Rooney and look to have him on as a sub. He looks dejected and needs something to liven him up.

maybe he's missing his real donkey, not heskey?

Well ho hum !
The fact we only just scrapped a draw really doesn't make any difference. Let us face the fact that even IF we can win against the next lot and crawl out of the group stage. The chances of progressing any further are practically nil.

And why the f*** didn't Gerrard get hauled off? A one legged, blind, micro midget would have been more use.

i'm torn between wanting them to do well and being torn apart 6-0 by some south american team in the knockout stages...

I spent the entire match at the quilt exhibition at the V&A. I was the only man there. You fellows should have joined me. Splendid stuff.

You mean like this?

I'm still wondering whether I dreamt that match. Simply the worst England performance in living memory. Am I about to wake up and it be friday morning?

I realised that - and added a discalimer Kab

Bloody hell, but that was dreary. Talk about watching a bunch of well meaning Johnny Hayseed types. The great thing about being a Scotland supporter is that at least their total and utter crappiness brings its own huge humour factor. Engerland, of course will beat Slovenia 1-0 and go on to the next round.

Is that minus 3? If it is I agree with you.

I wouldn't give Rooney anything, he gave the team and the nation zilch!
