[Timbo]

Milner Defoe & Upson in, much better side.

In a pub at the mo. It's absolutely buzzing here!

**** on the door took my vuvuzela off me, says they're not allowed in here.

What public house are you in? I think I will award them a gold star.

COME ON ENGLAND FFS.

 

[Giraffe]

Getting very nervous now. Team selection is pretty good this time. We can do it, COME ON ENGLAND

God save our gracious QUEEN.

Milner not singing.

TEAM:

1. David James
2. Glen Johnson
15. Matthew Upson
6. John Terry
3. Ashley Cole
4. Steven Gerrard
8. Frank Lampard
14. Gareth Barry
16. James Milner
10. Wayne Rooney
19. Jermain Defoe


Change my mind. I now think 2-1, Previously thought 2-0, but I don't trust the Upson-Terry central partnership. Still playing narrow and predictable. I don't believe in two wingers, but couldn't we have one semi-wide player?

 

[perseus]

Who to f*** are they?

1. Samir Handanovic
2. Miso Brecko
4. Marko Suler
5. Bostjan Cesar
13. Bojan Jokic
10. Valter Birsa
8. Robert Koren
18. Aleksandar Radosavljevic
17. Andraz Kirm
9. Zlatan Ljubijankic
11. Milivoje Novakovic

Nothing to get worried about ?

 

[The Wizard]

f***ing foul throw! Why are they never noticed?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not exactly much choice is there ? It was Upson or Dawson and that's it.

 

[Willow]

Already looking very nervous. Scared, even.

I agree about that. I would have Upson and Dawson. I think we could have used Carrick in midfield for his aerial ability and he is a bit heavier.

We are holding them 0-0 but ti is not good enough.

 

[perseus]

This is rubbish form both sides. It is though they are all too afraid of making mistakes.

Barry good pass to Milner who hasn't done anything right so far.

 

[The Wizard]

Lawrenson already moaning. Surprise surprise.

 

[Acker79]

Now it's kicked off, can we start being negative?

 

[Willow]

The pitch looks more suited to rugby.

 

[zego]

Good attack - nearly!

TV sound off after a couple of minutes, only to find it Alan "poor ball" Green moaning already on Radio5Live (ha! dead, more like)

Blissful silence - eyes glued to the screen.

Glad to see ref can give us free-kicks as well ...

Lampard great free kick - nearly, nearly!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I can't get it on the BBC Iplayer - is it online anywhere please?!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

A shot on target - that's an improvement on Fri already.
