The Football.....

[on the road]

The Wales manager has said he was never going to risk Gareth Bale even though he named him on the bench. So what was the point of him putting him on the bench if he had no intention of playing him.

Apparently it was to confuse the Macedonian manager and get him to alter his formation in anticipation of Bale coming on.

It worked! - Macedonia only won 2-1...

Experience. Isn't that what the managers do it for?

And with five seconds of injury remaining, they tell the lad to warm up.

Green !!! GREEN lol

Nice one DM all this adding up and effort must deserve a reward. Are you doing the fnrttc Southend ?

I know, I'll get it sorted! I got fed up using Google's graph and moved it to Open Office and it kindly rearranged the colours. I didn't even have to ask.

I'm no use at adding up - I'm putting very simple formulae in because spreadsheets are much better at doing it than me. Yep, I'll be on the Sarfend ride - see you there!

I will shout you brekkie as a bribe show of gratitude on behalf of us footy freaks.

Brilliant goal-line defending (well worth a look if you haven't caught this one yet)

Another amusing video from the weekend is Mr. Agbonlahor putting in a standard piece of work against someone from One Direction. As I understand it, the lad plays for Doncaster's reserve team. I am concerned for his safety...

I'd loved to have watched the Ukraine vs England game...but I was just too busy cleaning out my sock drawer.

Did England play for a bore? Sorry I meant draw?

No - not at all. Roy Hodgson really went for it and brought Ashley Young on with 10 minutes to go.

(unfortunately he was as **** as the rest of the attack.)

 

[AndyRM]

Pleased with Scotland's meaningless victory tonight. That Anya chap looks an excellent prospect, although I did enjoy relations with a lady of the same name in my youth so hearing it constantly on the commentary was a bit odd.

Don't think a draw is really a bad result for England. 3 points at home and 1 away should keep folk happy.

 

[Glow worm]

Are we allowed a small snigger at the Northern Ireland result?

 

[postman]

I have it on good authority,seen it in wikipedia that Walcott is a footballer.Well i never.I did not know that running fast in a straight line meant you were a footballer.Nice work if you can get it.

I didn't watch it so I wouldn't know, there wasn't much on the telly either but I managed to find something to watch
