That's an interestingly bold thread title. Has PH membership suddenly been restricted to English football fans then?

No - but lets be honest for a moment here shall we?

Come World Cup time (and in the absence of a team of their own to support) the Scots, Welsh & Irish all turn on the TV to watch the those brave Lionhearts have at 'em.

They may say they don't want the English to win but I've a sneaky suspicion...














Cat...meet the Pidgeons.

the jock? supporting england?

I know......I'm half Scots myself (Dad's side) and if I'd have said that to him when I was a kid......

But being born and brought up in London it meant however much my old man wanted me to support the Jocks at England v Scotland games I just never had a 'feel' for it - does that make sense...?

I always wanted the whites as I feel 'English' (whatever that means) and not Scottish at all.

Its pretty ludicrous that my Son (if gifted enough) could one day play for Scotland - he's never even been there...

1 - 1 but we were 10 men for 86 mins...

still top of the league though

ps - COME ON TERRY!!!

Sadly a Spud thwarted you right at the death

ITV

Was it me or did anyone else notice the view of the match was 'lower' down than on Saturday? The viewer (ie You & Me) was almost horizontal with the pitch last night.

Maybe I'm wrong.

[im]

So, even though its only a friendly, anyone want to call tomorrows game?

Due to our depleted squad I'll go for 2-1 to Brazil...

[im]

Well the only thing I learnt from that pile-of-poo was that the following are NOT International footballers:

Wes Brown
Joleen Lescott
Jermaine Jenas
Darren Bent

The jury is still out on Matthew Upson.

[im]

Well in the first half we were pants and if we play like that in S.A. we'll be on the first plane home. The Americans wont be quaking in their boots this morning as they are more than capable of beating the first-half England.

I also can't believe some England 'fans' were booing JT - do they want to destroy his confidence just before the World Cup.

[im]

So...according to Harry Rednapp...Spurs may be supplying 8 players for Capello's World Cup squad. Even as a spud thats at least 3 more than deserve to go to be honest.

I mean...Jenas? Bentley? Huddlestone?

I'd take Tom.

I just think he's to much of a luxury player. Good on his day but England need people who can battle it out consistently for possibly 6 matches over a very short space of time.

I've never seen the Hudd have more than 2 good games back-to-back.

Possibly all you're capable of.

Quoted for if we win the World Cup and you're quickly becomes we're.

My prediction:

England will qualify with relative ease from our group but there'll be a scare along the way then, looking at the teams in our half of the draw, we'll get to the semi-finals where we'll play Brazil.

...Thats how I see it panning out as well.

[im]

So do we all expect Ledley to be the stand-in for Rio? I hope its not Upson who's been unconvincing every time he's put on the England shirt.

To be fair, and although it has happened, it is rare that we don't make it out of the group stage and into the knock-outs...

Its from then on that we seem to get a bit clueless...especially with penalties.

I'm gonna quote that Tonks and return to it on Monday morning...

[im]

It took (possibly) the best player to ever kick a ball to blatantly cheat for us to be elimnated from the World Cup. At that point we were actually beginning to get on top of one of the greatest teams in world cup history.

Had that goal been (rightfully) disallowed who knows what might have happened.

Post something else then and i'll agree with that.

You'd like me to put on a little black dress and do my hair in ribbons before bending over for your camera...
