    It was England v Ukraine and people were spitting feathers over here about it, I think Setanta had the rights but they went bust so it went on general sale. Also England v Croatia in Zagreb last year was only on Setanta and again people were up in arms over it.

    Gignac probably would. He put the ball out for a throw at one point...but does that mean he's ****? Of course not

    Robbie Keane just falls in a heap any time a defender breathes on him.

    I agree Keane is not a world class finisher in tight situations.

    And Italy in March

    Good chance but not a great one, he came quite awkwardly at him and he did well to get an effort away. By the time he could strike the keeper was right on top of him. Quite similar to Germany 2002 in a way except the french keeper was alot closer to Keano. Our best chances were Lawrence, the Andrews shot and Whelans effort at the end. And none of them came from set pieces, the area we need most improvement from on Wed night.

    I had a dream last night. We won 5-2 in France, was so disappointed to wake up and realise it wasn't real.

    oh and Clinton Morrison scored twice in that game.

    He did miss it, he should have scored that - he hit it onto Evra's leg!

    I know it's easy talk but he could have slotted it into the other corner without much fuss.
