It was getting silly at one point - the same guy hit the post 4 times for us today! Wasn't a great game but we were happy to come away with the points after a poor start to the season. I was marking your #15 (Damo?), quite a strong player but only scored the one goal after our keeper went walkabout and took a wild airshot when attempting to clear a backpass....

What number where you?

Paul Robinson plays for you?

Number 4, played centre half today.

Felt a bit sorry for Robbo, not a lot he could do on Wednesday. I was actually at the game in Zagreb and, to be fair, he'd kept England in the game up to that point. If anyone was to blame it was Neville for hitting the back-pass 'on target', but don't want to be too harsh with him as he was the only player that had the balls to applaud the England fans after the game despite the abuse coming the team's way.

Our (GSK's) keeper has a habit of charging off his line and totally missing the ball. Gonna have to factor that in for next week.

I've been saying this ever since the game. Any parks defender knows that you hit back passes firm and to the side of the goal so if the keeper misses the ball the worst it will be is a corner. Shame that Gary 'I can only grow the moustache of a 12 year old' Neville didn't remember that.

When I was playing at the back I never scored an own goal that way. That said, I scored some crackers from distance and a few bullet headers (Juan Pablo Angel is an amateur compared to me) past my own keeper.
