Jamie Carragher well you wont win anything with...
The papers are saying that Jamie Carragher is considering that his only chance of silverware in the near future is to swallow some pride and come back to the international fold. He has not played for England since 2007 and now that Signore Capello is in charge the 32 year old may feel that the ‘inconsistency of McClaren and Eriksson is a thing of the past. With Rio Ferdinand’s injury...
The Great English Turkey Shoot
A little over two and a half years ago as I watched an abject England team finally fall off the rails during a wet night in London, you could hear the press sharpening their pencils like daggers. There were shades of the last English manager at the last Wembley. But this time, whatever was said in the post match press conference, you knew there was going to be no excuses to satisfy the...

People say I am paranoid
In 41 days the world cup starts and in 42 days we have to tear up our special relationship with Uncle Sam and finally take revenge for the defeat they inflicted upon us 60 years ago in Brazil when a man called Joe Gaetjens scored the goal that defeated an England team full of later days starts such as Alf Ramsey, Billy Wright and Tom Finney.
Now the USA are a good team, last year in the...
If all goes well in group c what could happen...
Well, if the England team overcomes the potential banana skins in group C they will be rewarded by a match against Group Ds top 2 which could be any of the following
Germany – the old enemy and likely winners of group d so runners up in our group will probably meet them – so best to win our group really because although Germany are not the force they once were they have a good world cup pedigree...
Come in Number 10
When the England team disembark into the South African sunshine in a little under two months time, I hope one player in particular is on board that plane. For all the hype surrounding Rooney, Gerrard and a certain Achilles heel (or lack of it), one player in particular should be ignored by England’s opposition at their peril. Spotted at the age of 11 and catapulted onto the nations...

Group C Potential banarama?
Diary dates 12/06 20:30Rustenburg England-USA 60 years ago at the world cup in Brazil the USA beat England (Alf Ramsey, Billy Wright and Tom Finney and all) 1-0 thanks to a Joe Gaetjens goal. Will we at last avenge that defeat or will Clint Demsey and Tim Howard recreate one of the world cups greatest upsets: PREDICTION 2-1 ENGLAND 18/06 20:30 Cape Town England-Algeria Algeria are not to be...
The case for the defence - Storm's choice
The first name on my teamsheet would have been John Terry before Wayne Bridgegate, to be honest I could not care less who JT is having a fling with, but his form dipped after all the media attention and the non handshake palyground spat at the Bridge. There is no doubt in my opinion that JT has to go to SA and his form is on the up, but is he a starter - yes he is! He is brave, reads the game...

Who is in your 23 - Storms Goalkeepers
So imagine there are no more injuries in the coming weeks, who would you put on the plane to South Africa
Goalkeepers
We have had our fair share of world class keepers (Banks, Shilton, Seaman) but the current crop lack experience and are prone to the odd gaff, so my three custodians of the posts are
Robert Green - West Ham United - 8 caps and played in the last warm against Egypt so he may...

Actually, it’s not a flag as such… it’s more of a window poster. Check it out…
