All England players from the other night being booed at every ground today

[Silent Bob]

Interesting to note that John Terry is fit to play today, but wasn't 3 nights ago.

I'm sure the extra 2 days made a MASSIVE difference.

Avram Grant has said that he thought Terry was fit to play Wednesday. You think Terry would choose not to play if he could? I doubt it somehow.

Gerrard soon showed the fans how to answer critics.

I'm not his biggest fan but to be fair today he was played in a position where he CAN play well. Sissoko and Lucas Leiva sat back and controlled the midfield, allowing Gerrard pretty much a free role to hare around wherever he likes. That is where he can play well. But England have never used him in such a way.

He's played for England exactly where he's been played for Liverpool.

Should we build a team around Steven Gerrard? Personally I think not - I think he's overrated.

According to the radio, Crouch was given a good reception when warming up and given a standing ovation when he came on.

In the best was possible-by scoring a great goal and pissing all over Newcastle, sending them home in their droves with 25 minutes left.

Really? We'd never have guessed. I'm sure he'll be devastated to learn of your opinion of him.

Heh - neither is he devastated to be getting a long holiday next June, even if it means the death knell of his 'world-class' status amongst most most football fans. Still, while he has people to defend him through these hard times, things are never be entirely lost.
