Not really necessary for me to actually write anything, but I might as well I suppose.


Yet again, an underwhelming performance from an average team. Job done though. I don't think we'll have any problems with Ecuador. Anything after that is thinking too far ahead.

The breakdown in our defence is a worry. It's the only thing we had right.

Owen's injury could be a blessing in disguise. He's been poor and not shown any signs of getting better. I could hardly believe it when Sven brought on Gerrard as an attacking player - just what I've wanted all along. And he scored.

However, our manager's ineptitude shone like a shitty beacon every time we saw poor Theo Walcott sat on the bench. Not only is he a waste of space, he's a very young man who thought he was going to play in the World Cup experiencing complete humiliation. That's unforgivable.

Also, I am very hungover and still slightly drunk.
