Well Wales (out already) drew with Germany. Which is good as it means people here (North Wales is actually a Football area) will be happy tomorrow.

Re; England... obviously Mr Dreadful Combover needs to be fired. From a cannon.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I nominate my cat. She's been dead for two years now, but she would still do a better job than Mr Really Really Really Bad Combover.

What about a deck chair? Deck chair for England manager!

Yes, yes... I can see why people would prefer a deck chair to McClaren. I certainly would!

In related news, the ranks of the unemployed have just swelled by two.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yeah, the crook got the sack as well.

Btw, I am currently very angry. This is because I've just found out how much McClaren has been paid by the FA for the indignity of being sacked.

The deck chair should be put in goal. It'll do a better service there than the dead cat, and about average for a post-Seaman England keeper.

The best (or worst?) part of that is that its true.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I think it is fair to say that Harry Redknapp will not be the next England manager. Ahem.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Sheesh what a mess, if it had to be an English manager it would be him though, I hope he comes out clean but I don't think that will be the case,

It would take nothing short of a miracle (or something extremely dodgy happening) for Redknapp to come out of this clean. He's as bent as hell and everyone knows it.

Mark Lawrenson said on Today FM earlier today that he has it on 'very good authority' that the FAI have offered the Irish job to Terry Venables!

Lock your tills. Now.

What the hell is happening to Newcastle?

We managed to win the other day...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Never mind Al, we'll be playing you again next season, that's for sure. You're probably safe.

Probably, yeah. Just about. Our fixtures after (but certainly not including!) the next one don't look quite as bad as Newcastle's.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

We beat Hull 1-0. Should have won by more, but a win is a win...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Man U have been knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties. By Everton..

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I never thought I'd be so happy immediately after losing to Chelsea...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

HE'S POSTING AGAIN!

Yep. Feels almost strange to do normal things again, actually.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Coming so close to beating the Forces of Darkness was... strange. Still. It's hard to beat the play-until-we-score injury time rule at Old Trafford...

Tragic news though... Portsmouth (one of my least favourite clubs for reasons that I can't quite remember now) managed to win the other day. Ending their impressive losing streak (seven games, seven losses).

First thing I thought off when I heard that, was that this was also the way Hughie Gallacher killed himself.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

hahahahahahaha. We beat arsenal!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

England have an amazing ability to fuck up, but I can't see how they can fail to get through that group. Unless, you know, match fixing.
