Saw this report on the England game on bbc sport… And it’s safe to say it made me chuckle

Paul Robinson - take a break. Have you ever seen an England goalie so at sea?

He’s got to carry the can for England’s first defeat at the new Wembley - except I doubt he’d be able to hold on to it. The flap for the first German goal was pure comedy. He went for the ball like a handcuffed man leaning off a stepladder and cannot be allowed to continue.

His replacement will be the best keeper in the Premiership season of 2006-07 - David James. Funny how that conclusive fact fills me with dread.

But who else is there? Not Jens Lehmann, even if he qualified through residency. The bloke looks more and more like a bewildered Dave Beasant.

He spent the evening handing out pressies to England’s premier goal-hanger, who spent a couple of hours trying to unwrap each one of them. Presumably Owen needs a game or two. But we’ve been saying that for what feels like a decade.

And Becks looked unfit and a tad jaded - hardly surprising given all the air miles he’s been clocking up.

Just a question but does he have to take ALL the free-kicks? Is it a contractual obligation? If, say, Lampard lined up one of his 30-yard bagatelle efforts, would Becks be legally entitled to pick up the ball and mince off?

The rest of the game had some pluses for England. Lamps was lively but Gerrard wasn’t on the pitch so he knew what his job was. More evidence for my continued assertion that the two of them can’t share the same turf. Lampard should be England’s best sub.

Joe Cole was grand. Gone are the days when he used to get knocked off the ball by the breath of the average centre back. He’s fast, tricky and was the main reason we got a few chances together.

The lad Richards was great ‘n’ all - but why stick him at centre half after the break when he’d done so much good work at right back? Wes Brown has about as much flair as drainpipe trousers.

SWP is back to his best and scared the pants of them when he came on. And the team created chances, which to be fair has been a rarity recently.

Certainly Mr Brown and Ms Merkel seemed to have a good evening. Well England lost, didn’t they, so why wouldn’t they be pleased?

I thought the Germans were a bit cheeky to wear England’s ‘66 World Cup winning kit. And what does the German coach look like, eh? With the girly scarf and the new Romantic hairdo he could be some wunderkind classical musician. I kept expecting him to run out from the dug-out and get a cello out.

The worst aspect of last night was watching the game with my son Darren and his girlfriend Claudia - from Baden Baden. I bit me tongue so many times in 90 minutes that I developed a serious lisp.

Even then, most of my derision was reserved for the boys in white. As was hers, to be fair.

“Who is this substitute?” she asked at one point.
“Dyer” I replied.
“Dire?!” said she….
Well, I couldn’t have put it better meself, pet.

Something I found on another forum I go on! Wonder if Maddsy has used No. 19 before! Or if Dylan did No. 18 when leaving the zoo yesterday

Aug 21

So yesterday was the first day at his new training camp for Lee “Pigeon Legs” Taylor, ahead of his super super light-feather weight bout against Adam “Atom-Bomb” Gilbert. “Pigeon Legs” is currently under a strict regime, and the location is being kept a close guarded secret, so please dont ask for his location! It’ll only disrupt his routine. “Atom-Bomb” meanwhile seems coolness personified!! He’s not one for these training camps, and is preferring to do his training at work, constantly running up and down the stairs at work ala Rocky Balboa :lol:

I must admit I have “Pigeon Legs” down as a favourite, because I feel the ballet lessons his dad paid for him to go on worked well during football on sunday! He pranced up and down the touchline like a pro during the first half, and showed Maddsy a clean pair of heels with his quick feet in the second half, So I think that’ll stand him in good stead for this bout!

Moving onto a completely different story now. Maddsy told us yesterday that Stevie was braving it, and taking the kids to the zoo!! So was really looking forward to hearing about Dylan wrestling a Lion or Gorilla or something, and it appears the lad didnt let us down :lol:

Allegedly he decided to put his face up close to the glass in the lion pen, and basically stared out a lion! Altho it did wink at him, and was more than likely thinking “I’m gonna eat you Boy!!” But it then buggered off! He then saw the Spider Monkeys or something, and acted like you’d expect, and made some little monkey go crazy, and jump about and everything!! HAHAHA Good old Dylan! Wish there was a photo of him and the lion going head-to-head!! All hail “Dylan the Lion Slayer” HAHAHA
Looking like it’s gonna be town on friday night! :D Maddsy needs to speak to “The high-chief of the tribe” to see if she either fancies it, or will let him down on his own, but Ive txt Wayniac and Bagi, and Wayniac is up for it, but Bagi is being gay and wont reply to my text message :lol: Will try and get some others out soon!

I really am missing the gym, so it seems i’m gonna have to pull my finger out and get my car sorted soonest! Not bad to say I aint been since John went on holiday, yet I said I’d keep going whilst he was on holiday :oops: Gonna have to battle through the pain barrier now when I start going again :|

After receiving a message on facebook from Lee’s mum, me and Lee have been chatting about when both sets of parents meet when you’re in a relationship, and someone always seems to be blind drunk!! Wether it’s the mother (in lee’s case) or daugther (as in my case, be it her 18th, but still) :lol:

For some reason my body is on the verge of breaking I think :shock: Extract from an email sent to Bahrain this morning :oops:

I can safely say my body is fucked!!! Walking home last night, and felt a sharp pain in my right achilles, which is never a good thing, still got a bit of a dead leg on my left calf, and knee is still scabbing up, so in a bit of pain LOL! Right fuck up me aint it! Then to top things off getting ready for work this morning, and my left leg tried to give way! Wouldnt have been so bad had i been trying to get my right leg into my tracky bottoms hahaha! Safe to say i fell onto the bed cursing.  :lol:

Think I will be giving maxxd football a miss for a week or two

Slight update..

Yes still alive and that folks :D appears I have a new addiction again… Football Manager 07!

So what have I been upto lately… not much tbh! Wed night there was no football, so I chilled on FM07, whilst watching one of the live games on the telly.

Thursday, nothing of any great note apart from my mum and dad nipped round for a bit, and I’ve never seen my DVD collection dissapear so quick, since Bex last came to visit whenever that was :shock: Altho half of them were for our Stef, who had been back for his check-up on his tendon, and they’ve found out it;s snapped or something, so they have had to operate again, and insert the rod back in (I think… my mother was telling me on my walk home the other day, so have forgotten most of what she said) So he’s back on his course of physio!

Friday at work was fun, due to the fact the team we were playing on sunday contained Lee’s mate “Ron Weasley” and Lee was on about coming down to Laugh at us! Friday night, had a few beers, watched a film or two whilst on the computer for a bit. Got a phone call off my mum, who said Owen wanted to talk to me, but when she went to give him the phone all she got was “No Mama, Owen reading” :lol: Should get to see him next weekend I think :D
Saturday was spent tidying the house and that whilst watching Soccer AM, then the Pompey vs Bolton game. Can tell the football season has kicked off, cos all of a sudden it’s pissing it down during all the games :lol: My dad came round bout 4ish ands we sat and watched the scores coming in on Soccer Saturday, until we decided to watch the Newcastle vs Villa preview on Setanta instead. Was a boring game enough said :lol:

Once the parents had gone, got ready to meet Wayniac in the Swan. Had a great night, and had a laugh with some of his mates, whilst texting Bagi to annoy him that he was skint and couldnt come out, yet we were larging it :lol: Bumped into Dawson and Will in Yates’s and Will was wasted, and then Ryan and his mate appeared as if from no-where :lol: Appears Wayniac had txt him friday, and asked if he was out, so not being one to turn down a good piss up, he came down! Then once i’d txt maddsy… i got a reply saying “Thanks for the invite” It wasn’t as if i’d mentioned it to you all week, and then on the friday night youth!! Went to a few other pubs, and then ended the night in the Late Lounge! Was a quality night in there, and made a change from liquid or QI! But no Jagermeister and red bulls this week! Just a few double amaretto and cokes :lol:

Woke up quite early sunday morning for some reason, so tried to go back to sleep for a bit longer, but to no avail, so ended up watching the championship on ITV, with the pain of watching the mighty yellows lose to Lincoln Shitty, then had a bath, whilst maddsy kept trying to ring me, to tell me to get my lazy ass out of bed!! Grrrr

Played Forest Town Academy (which I think is Forest Town Reserves on Saturdays) and they’re a good side! I ended up reffing the first half, and I’d like to think i got most decisions correct, apart from a hand-ball by Malc, which I couldnt see as Fatty Maddox was in the way :lol: Was a good battling performance from the lads, and I must admit I thought their linesman was immense! I’d never known that Mark had paid for his son Lee “Pigeon Legs” Taylor to have Ballet lessons ROFL! He was prancing up and down the line, and wafting the flag in the most campest of ways :lol:

2nd half I cam on at centre-back inplace of Moorey, who always seems to be getting injured, and managed to rip the scab off my knee AGAIN! 4 weeks running now! You’d have thought i’d have learnt :oops: and also managed to get kicked as i was sliding in for a challenge, and got a dead leg from it now! Was funny 2nd half, cos “Pigeon Legs” came on, and he went up for a header, and all you heard was “Pigeon Legs” shout “Oh fuck!” As Malc rolled him and Lee missed the header completley! Lee also skinned Maddsy, altho Maddsy claims he was out of breath, and knew that Sammi was covering him so he “let him past”. Finished the game 3-3 and got on the phone to my dad straight away to see what the Man Utd score was! Result… Man Utd 1 down with 20 minutes to go! Maddsy’s got season tickets to a relegation battle ROFL

A cracking game with every player wearing the club colours with pride.

Before the game Brad and Moorey got the players together and asked for each player to give 100% and not to let their heads drop, unlike the previous weeks match. They were not disappointed!

The match started with Academy controlling the early stages and were rewarded with a 2 goal lead by the 20th minute mark.Rather than let our heads drop all the players seemed to step up a gear and get ourselves on level terms thanks to 2 Malc Birch goals.However Academy went into the break leading 3-2.

The second half started like the first with the pace of the Academy team taking control,but we stuck to our task with alot of battle and heart and got our reward with a excellent hat-trick goal by Malc.We could of even won the game right at the death with an excellent opportunity which went begging.

A excellent result here today boys at a very strong Div 2 side, this is exactly how the Gaffers want you all to play.Lets keep this up and take it into the season.

Man of the Match goes to Malc for an excellent first hat-trick, but also a special mention to Stu who was instrumental at the back.Well done boys!

Spent the rest of the afternoon/evening cleaning the graze on my knee and watching the Liverpool vs “Spring board champions” Chelsea. Got chatting to Lizzie on msn, who wasnt feeling too well, so tried to cheer her up a bit, and we had a chat about our fave films, and that got me in the mood for one, So i went and put on Scarface! Finished bout 10, and went straight to bed, and out like a light!

Hmmmm the other day I got a phone call from Pam, saying that I’d had some mail delivered to their house, which aint bad to say it’s now over a year since me and bex split up :s Turns out it was a bank card in my name, so Pam has forwarded it on, and it turns out its for the Joint Savings account, so when she took her name off the normal account, she may have changed the address on the savings account, altho there is nothing in it, so not that bothered, was just gonna close it soon anyway :lol:

Me looking very menacing and chav-like :lol:
