Felt like quoting this for some reason...

HT draw / FT Italy in-play on about 35 mins, plus Brazil: 2/1-ish.

Steven Gerrard does not dive you cheeky American scamp.

I think you have to fiddle with the points system a bit, no doubt about it. If you did something like 5 points for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a goal then it might do the trick. I get the feeling you'd have to test it for a season somewhere to ascertain what the actual effect would be. Using a system like that would mean you'd get more points for a 4-3 loss than a 0-0 draw, which doesn't really sit well but I can't think of anything other than giving points for goals. Unless you award a UEFA cup spot based on positive play or something, but it seems a bit naff.

That would be horrible.

It's always lose/lose, the media are almost the entire problem with the England football team. The players play like they've got the weight of the world on their shoulders.

Agree. The only way I could see it working is if they put the player's number to the right, but I don't even know whether you can do that in the Premier League or what.

Alan Carr and Rubberface Kaye on James Corden - I think I'm gonna hurl.

I would have Carroll all day over Heskey Looks like you've picked them names out of a hat tbh. TBH not a lot of thought has gone into the subs, but i think the starting XI would has the potential to be exciting Righteo then, ignoring your subs: You've inexplicably sacked off Ferdinand, Lampard, Defoe and Carrick, which gives the indication that this is the work of a madman. Wilshire is first choice centre mid when he hasn't proven himself at Arsenal yet by a long shot. Dawson's first choice centre half. Adam Johnson's barely had a kick for England yet and he's first choice. Other than that, it's... erm... pretty much as it is at the minute then. Apart from Hart, who could end up being as big a disaster as the rest of them. I'm a fan of Adam Johnson and Joe Hart for the record.

The tournament as a whole has perked right up the last few days. Thank God - it was boring the arse off me.

Poulsen.

Really cheap, shit gear all round imo, disappointed in Puma.

Lush goal.

I think it's funny how Adebayor always says "trust me".

Shat myself.

Blanco looks like some random kid's dad.

Minister Babatunde strikes me as the kind of person people stop in the street to ask for advice. Eh? He's been giving someone advice in the street for a few days? I dunno man, I wouldn't put it past him. Was a reference to you saying he's likeable. Ah I see. He's almost loveable, Baba. Sod it, he's loveable.

Where's the likeable Nigerian these days?

It's the Tyldsley effect. Cunts can't just call it as they see it anymore.

Surprise!
