… 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 [...]

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 [...]
