I hope you're right Citizen. A result like that would certainly have me leaping around the living room with joy. Unfortunately I have to work late tonight and will only get home in time for the second half but I still feel that it is potentially the biggest banana skin for us so far in the competition. Basically it's shit or bust so I'll be watching with fingers crossed and buttocks clenched from behind the sofa.

I would have thought England will comfortably get a result tonight. Croatia won't be playing with the handbrake off and the sense of needing a result should mean England's players will be up for it (as opposed to SAYING they are up for it which is what they usually do)

Having watched the first few minutes, I smoked a joint. Have never found a game of football so funny!


Ian Wright got it spot on after the match, England didn't deserve to go through on what they did throughout the campaign. We were handed a chance, that we didn't deserve, on a plate, and still couldn't muster a performance!


I was full of affection for Beckham last night, because his old legs were still trying, and like so many times before, he was one of the only ones that looked like he really really cared!

Thought Croutch could hold his head up too, he even looked okay in the first half, but got nothing from his team mates.

It pains me to say it, but Stevie G was a bit shit.


I refuse to lay the blame with Carson, if it wasn't for him, we would have lost by a landslide. Just hope he comes through this because he's a better keeper than Robinson.

>>Oh well, only a game of footie. Nobody died<<



Tsk! Go and wash your mouth out. :)) As the venerable and wise sage St William of Anfield famously decreed..."Football is not a matter of life and death - it is far more important than that".


I had high hopes of us winning the whole thing had we scraped through last night, on the ground that mediocre teams can win the Euro....see Greece last time out for example. Croatia played better than us in both games. The only bit of real class last night from England was Beckham's cross and Crouch's finish...


Anyway, spilt milk etc...

I predicted this result...well 1-2 actually but wasn't far off was I. Most people when they're sacked get f**k all but McLaren walks away with two and a half million quid for failure. Nice work if you can get it.

I wasn't confident about this match before last night but when I saw the formation we were going to deploy I knew we were doomed.

We're playing home and we need a result and he plays one man up front on his own. Doesn't inspire confidence does it. Lampard & Gerrard can't play together, we've known that for ages. I thought it was Gerrard's worse performance in an England shirt but he wasn't the only one. We were rubbish throughout most of this tournament and got what we deserved. F**k all! Apart from McLaren that is, who has trousered a nice big fat cheque.

What did the FA honestly expect from a manager who was their fourth choice, and was a rubbish club manager. Having said that only Crouch came away with a scrap of credit for the way he performed last night. The others looked less than average. As Jah said, it's a must win game and we play one up front, and that is a guy who, let's face it, would not get into many sides in the prem.

One up front, and you leave the only man with a hope of feeding him on the bench! I know Beckham needed to be fitter, but at least he could have put a cross on Croutches head!


I thought Darren Bent did very very well in making that chance for himself towards the end, I know he didn't score, but most people wouldn't have got a touch on the ball let alone a shot! I know spurs are struggling, but I really do like Bent, and think he may have a future...

      Point taken..I go 3-4 times a week and have done every week for several years however £115 a month is still a lot of money for many people (myself included) for a 'non essential' One can if one wishes excersise by running or Cycling, swimming once in a while. Gym membership IS a luxury...

      Tawny owls are hooting in Dawsons Heights very near me. But very elusive birds. Sadly now on the amber list.  I have heard the owls every night for the past couple of weeks  It is good to know they are here. They are quite loud so I think they are very near. I have never seen an owl in the wild before and wish I  could  see them.

      Hi, looking for a 3-4yrs ski jacket if anyone has one they no longer need or would lend if they want it back for younger siblings in future years! Many thanks

      I used to hear at least one of those owls but haven’t for at least two years. 😕
