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

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 [...]

The Netherlands, my adopted team for Euro 2008, have dealt Italy their biggest ever defeat in international football, beating them by 3 goals to nowt. Even when they were 3 goals up, the Netherlands were still attacking and came close to scoring a fourth. It’s a good start for the Dutch – they needed it [...]

I’m not a big football fan, as evidenced by supporting Shrewsbury Town, but I do quite like international football. England, of course, didn’t qualify for Euro 2008 giving us an insight into what it must be like for Scottish and Welsh people during every international football tournament. I wouldn’t normally bother supporting a foreign team [...]

I’m undecided on Sepp Blatter’s plans to impose quotas on foreign players in football teams. On the plus side, it’s pissed off Federal Europe who have declared it illegal. On the negative side, anything involving Sepp Blatter must be a bad thing. On the plus side, it means English clubs will have to invest in [...]

WHAT’S GOOD ENOUGH FOR WALES IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ENGLAND! – MULHOLLAND Embargo: Immediate, Tuesday 20th May 2008 Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North West, has said that, after the Welsh National Anthem was played alongside God Save the Queen at Wembley at the weekend to mark the fact that Cardiff City made the final, [...]

Bob Peedle, Chairman of the Royal Society of St George, has criticised Wayne Rooney for not singing the British national anthem before England games. Apparently, Rooney doesn’t know the words which Peedle thinks is disgraceful and has offered to teach them to him. The Royal Society of St George is there to promote England and the [...]
