You can tell it is International fortnight can't you, Cesc goes off to join his fellow Spaniards
and the gutter press get themselves all excited. They know they can fire silly questions at our
captain and Barca players, then add whatever answer they want to the question and then print it, in
fact worse than that they ad a few " " either side of the rubbish they write!

Apologies about the lack of posting recently. I've slipped into an euphoria-induced coma at the
sight of Tom Huddlestone and Peter Crouch both coming on for England in Doha on Saturday. The
prognosis? I'll be okay in the long run but Jermaine Jenas definitely won't go to the World
Cup.
I promise normal service will be resumed shortly, once the deluge of Uni work is eased a little
bit.

Ian Edward Wright, known now by many a name but during in footballing career he was fondly known
as ‘Wrighty'.
Born in the fine year of 1963, he went on to be a half decent striker at Crystal Palace and then
Arsenal and boy, did he love to score!
He had a bit of a strange start to his career in football, he had trials at both Southend and
Brighton while in his teenage years but neither club thought he was good enough and let him go on
his merry way.

With J Hutcherson -- For the United States National Team, proving it in Europe no longer has the
same impact it did in the Arena era. Results will do that, and the United States has shown they can
get them against mid-tier European teams. Even against the elite, the US hasn't simply rolled over.
Sure, there was a lot of criticism a year ago when the US lost to England at Wembley and Spain at.

I'm rolling back the years here to an advert from 1996. It is Kevin Keegan giving the
Sugar Puff's Honey Monster a run out at Wembley for the Toon Army and the big man grabbing a

Produced at a time when Newcastle were at the height of their popularity across the country, as
they played some of the best football around and Keegan's men were pushing for the title.

Last year when we was going through our barren (pre Arshavin) spell if someone had said would
you be happy with a 2-2 draw away against the Whammers I would have taken that all day long. But
this year we have progressed as a team, a team that can pass forwards and create chances with ease.
We still lack the mental capacity to finish games off.

Do excuse me while I momentarily don my England hat: this missive, from one of the souls

Whatever the rights and wrongs of Rio's concentration lapse, the curious manner in which Green
was sent off, the withdrawal of Lennon and the fact that we lost, it strikes me as far more useful
than if we'd played with 11 and coasted to a comfy victory.

Liverpool are heading into a key fortnight in their season with injury doubts over their two

Rafa Benitez will already have been alarmed when Gerrard was forced off at half-time of England's

after 55 minutes of Spain's match in Armenia.

That was magnificent, that performance showed many aspects of the new improved 2009-10
