        I guess I wasn't looking close enough (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:08:20
- Tell you what I thought. SWP looked good, the rest didn't really do (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 09:57:19
  - I once posted that swp was better than lennon (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:26:13

      - I think he is shit (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 10:48:51
      - my view of downing is shrouded by the fact he plays for the bottlers (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:44:56
        
        What?? Ruel Fox? (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:49:31

        yep (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:50:14
        
        stuck in a rut at the bottlers (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:24:24
        
        they still bottle it though (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:48:08
        
        Wish we could bottle it the way they do. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 20, 10:50:11
        
        I actually think I'd have cried if we'd have been 4-1 up with 10 mins to go (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:52:12
        
        how do they bottle it anyway? (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:50:41
        
        Well, the only time they've got it right, they did it by accident (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:53:49
        
        I don't know what you're talking about (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 11:05:34
        
        League cup final, Zenden penalty, two feet innit (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:08:59
        
        right, but why are they bottlers? (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 11:11:52
        
        Because no matter how good they are, or how much they sign decent players (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:14:23
        
        Since 1998 they have never finished (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 11:18:11
        
        Well I think they've got a brilliant squad this season, and should finish at least 6th (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:20:55
        
        No way is their squad (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 11:24:45
        
        I expect them to lose at home to the stokes and west broms (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:33:44
        
        apart from all those points they get to stay up in the prem every year, I guess. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 20, 10:56:15
    - for hindsight purposes (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:28:26

    - Under Capello England will win nothing (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:05:50
      - I think we might. Although I do agree last night might have been one for Owen. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 10:06:44
        
        Yeah, Owen in my opinion should be in the squad (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:09:16
- I'm pleased we won, though i didn't think it was a good display.... (Other Football) - wgf500, Nov 20, 09:47:55
  - eh? England were really good. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 20, 10:43:14
  - I thought it was an excellent display (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Nov 20, 09:55:30
    - Germany were stifled by Capello (see post above cost I won't type it twice) (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 09:57:55
- "Stood there doing nothing" (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Nov 20, 09:39:57
  - Carson's mistake was his body shape. Stood totally upright so couldn't react. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 09:54:42
    - England also need to get over this back passing lark (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:30:52
  - when you see it from the camera... (Other Football) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 20, 09:44:56
    - Yup, Carson's body shape. He should have approached with (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 10:00:26
      - Just ridiculous. Terry dummied him by faking to head it then stumbling (Other Football) - yarmyyarmy, Nov 20, 10:16:16
      - thought Terry was more at fault than Carson (Other Football) - mr carra, Nov 20, 10:07:09
        
        Oh well. In any case, a Scott Carson for England highlight film would be a laugh a minute (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 10:11:10
      - please stop this steve.... (Other Football) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 20, 10:04:23
