i hope croatia beat russia tonight, then perhaps the russian public will back us to beat croatia, rather than wanting us to lose if we beat them in the semi.

Good morning.

Laurence Maguire has unfortunately picked up Russian 'flu, which is obviously quite disappointing.

I've had a word with him this morning and told him that this afternoon he's got to fly out to Russia to have some medical tests. He's got to be back here for training on Monday.

The bad news is the fact that he's got Russian 'flu. The good news is that he's going to fly to Russia to see his brother play for England in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

He's absolutely thrilled and he's sorted it out with his family that he's going. It's great for our club that one of our players is going to be watching England play.

Take care,

Martin

Best game of football at the WC.

Yes there's been better goals & better performances but this was two teams playing football without feeling the need to cheat.

Fair play Sweden, you deserved to be there, gave your all & kept it within the spirit of the game.

We move on.

This.

Cheating nations take note. You've just seen the spirit football should be played in.
 
Sweden manager Janne Andersson: "Yes, I definitely believe England are good enough to win it. They are forceful, well-organised. I'd like to pay tribute to the team and coach.

"They are a good footballing side. I think they would be perfectly able to go all the way"

what a shame that we won't get far because we rely on kane's goals too much.


oh, wait...
 
Hard to believe that just over a year ago Maguire was in a back line getting thumped 4-nil by Palarse.

Peter Schmeichel putting a value of 60 to 80 million on Harry and expects him to go to one of the top clubs soon.

Hope not. Otherwise half of the back four of the greatest English team who ever lived n breathed n robbed hubcaps will have been pissed away by our couldn't run a ****ing bath nevermind a football club, clueless ****s of owners.



What could have been, eh?

Oddly enough when he was talking about top clubs he didn't mention the bin dippers. He thought Real, Barca, or one of the Manchesters.

Yeah, some quality saves from him.

It was never gonna be that kind of game tho.
Like some said, more of a proper Premier League game, top against bottom half team.
We don't dive and we don't do any time consuming stuff really (properly annoyed me against Switzerland :D )

That's exactly how I saw it.

Good game. You're the better team.
Hurts, but I'm still proud over our WC.

Good luck in the remaning two games.
I'm gonna drink a bit too much now and try to relax.

Edit: I have to be a bit more bitter. My throat is still hurting when the they called Berg offside (onside, altho barely), but moments later let (Sterling?) probably 1-2 meters offside play on. Nearly gave me a stroke when he didn't wave offside at first.

Your boys gave it their all.

But I'm afraid you're getting one of these...
