However, unlike spies and the like you don't have to spend years locked up in clink. There is a way to redeem yourself. Be patriotic - support Stanley!
Aye, true - but not only that you will see a far higher standard of football than that displayed by those wastrels yesterday. A bunch of drunks in the pub carpark would play better than that lot .
Their cowardice does not end there, however. They have now chosen to arrive back at Heathrow on a BA flight with ETA 6.20 tomorrow morning. I'm tempted to pop over there to greet them. The final insult is that they are due to be processed through the VIP lounge at T5..this is sickening. However, I did predict this - see my first post on the world cup bet thread and I will now make repeat that prediction and say they will not exactly be cordially welcome.

Maybe VIP now stands for Very Insignifiant Players
I sincerly hope they get one.
As bad as England were and there's no argument there, the worst team by far are those incompetent whistle happy, card waving wastes of skin in the middle. As a spectator, this is the worst world cup ever, spoiled by a bunch of idiots who have probably never played the game and think their job is to wave as many cards as possible and stop the game when ever one of the little boys roll over and cry.
yes no doubt about it.. if it had come 2-2 then just maybe it would have been a different outcome... we will never know.. England would not have gone far facing the Argies in the quaters then Brazil in the semis.. we are sh!te and we have to face up to it... I watched a programme about Van Bastan tonight.. plenty of programmes about great players from the world cup..Zidane,Pele,Cruff,Maradona,Kempes,Rossi.. an almost endless list but we have to go back to Bobby Charlton for any English comparison.
and even Charlton wasn,t the best of the united team imho, that fell too a paddy.
Agree with you on this one ... these idiot officials should watch how hockey refs act in the Stanley Cup playoffs, particularly in sudden death overtime: let the boys get on with the game and deal with the dead and wounded when the final buzzer goes.
Yes we do know.. it would have been 4-2 to the Krauts. Do you need a lesson in maths as well as football and politics?
I'm not a regular football fan I only really enjoy the world cup. So to me England always seem not to enjoy it, perhaps they are too arrogant and find it hard to play as a team? Also in this German game the defence was awful and England all seemed to be at the goal end and had to race back to defend.
OK it's an overstatement that the disallowing of the 2nd goal ruined the game - but they could have come back in the 2nd half and done something to win but they didn't they played awfully. What happend to the defence?
As far as this goal goes - it's a case of What goes around comes around and I think the 1966 goal may not have gone in - however this one most definately did! So perhaps it's the decision of God!
England may be cowards? But I think the team is perhaps too arrogant and can't really play as a team. Also they may be disillusioned, not happy with management decisions, knackered after playing too much and over paid! Add them to the list!

dont think yer so far off the mark yon kestrel, as fer playing awful in second half, reckon millions of folk agree, the one who says they played well, was the "JOKE" of a captain Gerrard, not even the balls to tell the truth.
I don't know how many of you lot may have seen the pictures from Wooton Basset this evening. Earlier on, there was a debate going on in the editorial offices of some of the tabloid newspapers here (in Wapping & Canary Wharf) on split front pages showing the seven coming back from Afgan and those wastrels returning from SA. I don't yet know what the leads will be tomorrow morning.
Its a knocking bet the debate about the lead story, will rest on the one they think will sell most papers.
From what, to what?
Well we all know what the lead story should be but you can bet your bottom dollar the "over-paid prima donnas" will take presedence!!!!!
