Well, that went will didn’t it?  For the first time ever I got up and walked out before an England game finished.  While England were making a half hearted attempt at trying to claw back a 3 goal deficit I was in the garden getting the BBQ started. I notice that a couple of the [...]

… the linesman and referee to be able to bloody see! England have gone back to the dressing rooms for half time 2-1 to Germany when the actual score is 2-2. The linesman was a few yards from the corner, he should have been able to see the goal.  The referee was in the right [...]

I would love England to win the World Cup but if – as seems likely – we don’t make it to the finals, the disappointment will be tempered somewhat as long as we give the Germans a damn good thrashing this afternoon.

Without wanting to sound like an armchair manager, what the fuck are you playing at Capello? Seriously, the team is playing unbelievably badly and I’m afraid I have to lay the blame with Capello.  I normally defend managers when people criticise them because the 11 players on the pitch are supposed to be professionals and [...]

The Fortean Times merrily pointed out this morning on Twitter that the Olympic mascots “appear to be Cyclops-eyed, pincer-handed aliens“. He may not be Prime Minister any more but we just can’t get away from El Gordo. Anyway, what about those mascots, eh?  Very shiny, and bit angry looking and just a little bit phallic [...]

Andy “Anyone but England” Murray is looking worryingly close to winning his first ever grand slam in Australia. If he wins, life will be unbearable for those of us who can’t stand the tantrum-throwing, anti-English, second rate Scottish tennis player. The BBC will devote its entire schedule to the life and times of Andy Murray, [...]

… Roddick.   Can you imagine how unbearable it would be if Miserable Murray won Wimbledon?  The 2 hour documentaries and clip shows the BBC will be showing for months afterwards, the knighthood for services to Scottish British tennis, El Gordo gurning his congratulations in Parliament. God, it doesn’t bear thinking about.  Best get those [...]

Setanta went into administration today owing £3m to the Scottish Premier League and £30m to the English Premier League. The Scottish Premier League is looking for a new buyer for £125m of broadcasting rights for the next 4 years and the English Premier League is looking to offload the rest of the matches Setanta had [...]

Wimbledon has started and the BBC are excited about the prospects of British Scottish British Scottish British Scottish Sour Faced Tosser, Andy Murray. Personally, I couldn’t give a flying fuck which round he crashes out in as long as he cries like a baby. Amusingly, the above image is the first match in a Google [...]

The mighty Shrews have beaten Dagenham & Redbridge to enter the League 2 play-offs. All that stands between Shrewsbury Town and a return to League 2 is a couple of games. At the start of the season it looked like they had promotion in the bag, then it all went a bit iffy before finally [...]

Andy “Anyone but England” Murray has won something. It’s only the Miami Open but the BBC are beside themselves that the miserable jock has won something.  Imagine how unbearable they’d be if he won a grand slam?  Time to stock up on Andy Murray voodoo dolls.

Andy “Anyone but England” Murray lost again last night against Nadal.  Shame. Technorati Tags: Anyone but Murray

The cheese eating surrender monkeys last week and the sweaty socks this week.  We might not have won the Six Nations but we battered both the auld enemies and that’s good enough for me. Technorati Tags: England, Scotland, France, Rugby, Six Nations

I will be Tweeting the the England -v- Ireland Six Nations game. Follow the commentary on Twitter or Facebook. Edit: If anyone is interested, here’s the commentary from Twitter … England get the British national anthem again. When will we get Jerusalem instead? National anthem scores: England 0 – 2 Ireland All 3 BBC commentators [...]

Andy “Anyone but England” Murray has progressed to the fourth round of the Australian Open and looks dangerously close to winning his first ever grand slam. Don’t worry though, there’s still time to make your very own Andy “Anyone but England” Murray voodoo doll by following these simple instructions. Technorati Tags: Andy Murray

FIFA have agreed to a British football team for the 2012 Olympics and No Mandate Brown has got assurances from Sepp Blatter that the independence of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish teams will be maintained. The English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish fan associations are all opposed to a British football team and the [...]

I can honestly say, I’ve never been excited about a football match that didn’t involve a team I support but I’ve just been on the edge of my seat watching Histon play Leeds. Watching a team I remember being one of the best in England go down 1-0 to a non-league team is great but [...]

The second half of tonight’s game against Kazakhstan couldn’t have been more different from the first. It took 7 minutes of the second half to score the first goal and they came thick and apart from a lucky goal by Kazakhstan, England dominated the second half. But England still looked like they were going through [...]

Kazakhstan?  Kazakhfuckingstan? What a bloody shambles.  We should be 5-0 up by now at least but no – half way through the game and it’s still 0-0.  Not only that but Kazakhstan look like they have about 30 men on the pitch. There have been moments when England looked like a World Cup winning team [...]

I thought Mrs Sane was taking the piss when she said that Shrewsbury were winning 6-0, imagine my surprise when I saw that by the time the final whistle was blown, they had actually won 7-0! Technorati Tags: Shrewsbury Town, Gillingham

Currently watching England -v- Croatia via Sopcast from somewhere out in the far east – China or somewhere like that by the looks of the presenters. Few too many adverts but it’s free. Update: England won 4-1, well played. Technorati Tags: England, Croatia, Football

Andy “Anyone but England” Murray lost his first ever grand slam final to some dirty diego by the name of Federa.  Shame.   When the BBC wet themselves with excitement over him getting to the finals he was the Scotsman, Andy Murray.  When he lost he was the British hopeful, Andy Murray.  Technorati Tags: Andy [...]

England plays Andorra tonight in the World Cup qualifiers.  Will I be watching?  Will I buggery – it’s only on Setanta and there is no way I’m subscribing to a bloody sports channel just to watch one football match and I’ll tell you why … Firstly, I don’t have that much interest in sport.  I [...]

No Mandate Brown has told Sky News that he hopes there will be a Team UK for the 2012 Olympics.  Not Team GB you’ll note, but Team UK.  Great Britain doesn’t include Northern Ireland – something that doesn’t seem to bother Lieutenant Governor Brown in Beijing – but the Northern Ireland FA is the only [...]

I have no interest in the Olympics – we don’t have an English team and there are many, many more things that those billions could be spent on, like cancer treatments and housing homeless people. I do have to wonder, though, why the UK’s Olympic body insists on calling its team “Great Britain”. Great Britain [...]

This letter was in the Shropshire Star last night.  The title wasn’t my idea … Why can’t we all just be Brits Great Britain won its first gold medal of the Olympics on Sunday.  The BBC were beside themselves and delighted in telling the world that the medal winner was Welsh and it was the [...]

Am I the only one that has absolutely zero interest in the Olympics? The BBC have devoted BBC1 to covering the games, even the Breakfast programme has been relegated to the News 24 channel. I might be more interested if there was an English team but I just can’t get excited about Team GB, even [...]

Me again. Wonko will get back from his well-earned break and wonder what he’s done giving me access to this… Still, I’m here with some good news this time: English-hating tennis hack Andy Murray has been knocked out of wimbledon. Good riddance you lanky streak of Scottish piss. One can only hope he will never [...]

Wimbledon is upon us again – another few weeks of boredom and seemingly endless coverage of some people hitting a ball at each other at 3,000mph. Andy Murray was in the papers at the weekend telling us how terribly upset he is that people think he’s anti-English because his gran lives in Newcastle and it [...]

The Netherlands’ performance in the first three games of Euro 2008 was a small consolation for England getting knocked out in the qualifying stages and now those damn Ruskies have spoilt it! Russia, unbelievably, beat the Netherlands 3-1. Ah well, no more football for me.  The Dutch are the only team in the competition I [...]
