Can imagine people thinking it's just a shitter version of last year's, which was pretty shit anyway, and wearing the previous shirt again this year instead of forking out again.

Kaka was my captain today, was furious to see him sent off so late... But somehow he still got me 16 points, so never mind.

Ghana have the coolest flag in the competition, possibly the world. Unless you can find me a cooler one. None of our team looked knackered after the match yesterday, how can you play in a world cup match and not tire yourself out? What more motivation do you need?

What's the logic of putting up England flags with ABE on them?

Any chance to get a nip pun when the Japanese are playing, eh.

It's temping fate, isn't it? Same with the Sun back page, there's only one way it's going to go. Isn't there some kind of curse in American Football where the player picked to feature on the front of the Madden game because they're the rising star of the time always fades into obscurity or suffers a career ending injury? And isn't the Grammy for "Best New Artist" a well known poison chalice that guarantees career atrophy?

Wonder if they'll keep showing that Nike "Build the Future" advert where Rooney's getting fucking knighted, given a statue and every baby in the hospital is called Wayne, not surprising you believe your own hype too much when you've got a Queen Liz look-a-like dubbing you with a prop sword before the tournament starts.

I hope that next time Rooney pulls out one of his Sky Sports Wankfest Specials that the opposition give him a chorus of "Where was that in Af-ri-ca?"

Compare and contrast... http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/8756/captureyi.jpg Same every two years "We're gonna piss it, best team for decades, great manager, honorary Englishman, Three Lions, Roonaldo, passion, drive...." Two games later "We're shit, manager is a turnip/wally/cunt/foreign cunt, hang your heads, we're never going to win again"

If the Mackems were seething about him not taking Bent before, they must be having an aneurysm after seeing how the shower who did get on the plane behaved last night.

What kind of fucking bird is it?! Come on itv, you fucking charlatans, BBC would have bill oddie on the red button by now.

Was going for the shoddy phonebox leaflet look I'll have you know Oh, alright, I noticed straight after I posted but it was an ms paint job so I couldn't edit it.

Polyester? Some kind of shit made from oil and tyres anyway.

The badges with the white border around them remind me of those rice paper characters you go with those cup cake kits. You know, like pictures of Tom and Jerry or something. Does that make sense to anyone except me?

Right, are people willing to believe these are pictures of the real kits now then? http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/7813/21052010206.jpg Offical site photos: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9452/secondrn.jpghttp://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9415/thirds.jpg That or someone was very lucky with their photoshop guess I suppose.

Well, the last premier league game I saw was against Villa, and the next one I see will be against them as well. Would love to turn them over and bury that memory.

You can change your captain after he's played to someone else you think will do better that hasn't played yet.

Any idea when Sky usually do their first round of fucking about with everything? Not sure if I should wait for that before booking all the home games off work.
