Algeria Aftermath ...

2230 - first thoughts ? Yes ...

Obviously I missed the sight of the USA game last week (see below) but I sent a txt to Mrs Smiffy just after half-time today as in, "Tonight 'looks' like last Saturday 'sounded' - awful" - and that just about sums up the shambles that I've just watched up at the Football Club ...

It's only a matter of time before our hysterical tabloids finally put all this bull to bed and finally admit that "We're Not Very Good" - witness tonight - toothless up front - Glen Johnson getting skinned every time down the Algerian left - midfield looking non-existent at times - bring Crouch on, and he crops up on the right wing - great place for a 6 foot 7 inch player. Big up to Algeria - they'd done their homework and they got a result - and made England look ordinary.

Apparently Rooney came off saying to the camera "Nice to hear your own fans booing you, that's loyal supporters." Now - some words to the man who earns £150,000 per week (yes - per week i.e. more money than most people earn in 20 years). Point 1 - You'll find that most of the England fans out there are not "loyal" football fans - they're just rich peeps who can afford it (as in Prince Bill and Prince Hal) or ex-pats who took their money out of this country - why the hell do you think all the trouble/violence has happened elsewhere (as in this country - we'll see what has happened tonight tomorrow no doubt) - if you want to talk to the "loyal supporters" - feel free to pop into Mossley (or any other pub/club in England - where you will find the loyal supporters) sometime - you got a lot more than a mere "booing" tonight - because you deserved it - you and 10 others (plus subs) basically did nowt tonight - all of you - yes ALL of you were an absolute disgrace. I heard Capello talk about "pressure" - maybe you've got the "pressure" of the UK tabloids bulling us up - and what the hell was Beckham doing on the bench (now maybe that's "pressure" ??).

Pathetic - thank God I've no England players in my Fantasy League team - back to realism again I guess ...

That's the early "stream of whatever" out of the way - I'm sure I could have said more, but ... Wednesday afternoon will be VERY interesting ...
