Patriotism got the better of most of us then

Just realised that we didn't include Norn Iron on the forecast - and they stand the best chance of qualifying at this point

[AnotherPaul]

What team should McClaren inflict his 'management' on next? Bolton? Spurs?

[mockney piers]

How about McLaren? They seem to like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory too!

[Keef]

Well that was f**king sh!t!!!! And my head really really hurts today. Should have stayed at work til 5 and then gone home and had a nice dinner!

I've never been a big fan of McClaren, but I don't think it's fair to blame him, the team were playing way too deep, and I don't think that was because of his instruction.

Robinson needs to be put down, and Rooney is a stupid little oik, I don't care if he did score the goal.

Gerrard didn't do a lot either, other than miss a great chance to put us 2-0 up.

[citizenED]

What's the difference between Lewis Hamilton and the England Football Team?

Next year, Hamilton will still be with McClaren

[AnotherPaul]

McBullshitter. He is to blame with his 'I can ask no more of the lads' mutterings. Yes he f@cking can, concentrate on the game and win against inferior teams. McEricsson said he couldn't comment on the match overall as he'd have to review it's ebb and flow. What is he going on about?, is there some mystical sub-strata of analysis he can apply to watching football? That would probably be the insight he had into getting hammered 7-0 by Arsenal (when manager of Middlesbore) but still suggesting there were positives to be had. Doh!

Also, Robinson's too cordial, Gerrard has a ?5 haircut, Lamps 'Lampy' Lampard is a cock, and that's it.

[mockney piers]

I was suggesting last night that entry to the England squad should be barred to anyone paid over ?5 grand a week.

Let's see how passionate they are about their country then the jumped little sh!ts.

'Golden generation' my arse.

[Annasfield]

"Gerrard has a ?5 haircut" - Do you follow Spurs? :-S

[AnotherPaul]

Why do ?5 haircut comments suggest I'm a Spurs fan?

[Annasfield]

Because one of my dearest friends at work is a Spurs season ticket holder and there is a song that he always sings about Gerrard's hair do when I mention him. :))

[Jah Lush]

That's not a hairdo Anna, it's a hair don't.

[Annasfield]

Ha ha, I actually think he's quite tasty ;-)

[AnotherPaul]

Ah, I see.

I support Arsenal but the comment is nothing to do with that, just think it lame of such a well paid young fella to sport a top gun hairdo.

Golden generation? No more like lead.

[Annasfield]

Not another one ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

but come on Anna - meet enough of us and you might start to think we're alright

I mean I met another Liverpool fan yesterday who was lovely. VERY LIVELY but lovely

[AnotherPaul]

yes another one and I loath Senderos too!

[Annasfield]

Until I lived in proper Gooner territory, I didn't mind Arsenal supporters at all. Spent too many nights at Finsbury Park simply trying to get home from work listening to an incessant chant of " oooh to, oooh to be, oooh to be a - gooo-ner". I just wanted to get home.....

That said, I have a lot of good mates who support them and Arsenal will never be as detested as Manure or Chelski

Fair do's though, you've had a superb start to the season. I just hope your squad is strong enough for the entire campaign B)

Lets wait til May* :)-D

*Caveat - I'm not implying we'll win the Prem either, you just never know.

[Annasfield]

Oh dear - I hope I haven't set myself up for some serious abuse. *shakes in boots*

Bless her cottons, lovely family! >:D<

Blushes....Oh you guys.:-$

[atila the gooner]

I for one am not surprised that Drogba has reverted to type, by chucking all of his expensive toys out of his costly top of the range pram, and is telling his adoring public (I'm kidding) that he wants away from CSKA Fulham. And people say there's no loyalty left in football!!!

>:D<
