Recent developments ??

[Guest]

morning all from sunny Johannesburg, my temporary home before moving down to Port Elizabeth on 1st July.

It's been about 6 weeks since i was last able to log on and read what's been going on, and there's far too much to read through so if anyone has the time, i'd be grateful if they could give me a brief rundown on events over the last 6 weeks or so

cheers for now

Most of the updates you have already seen but in other news each of the following statements are (unbelievably) true.

1) There have been no internal arguments on this board for weeks.

2) Shrimperzone FC drew 3-3 with Cockney Locomotive.

3) Baby Spice wants me.

4) Tim Henman makes the semi-final of the French Open tennis.

Mourinho has joined Chelsea and Claudio looks like he could be the new Valencia boss. Ex-Valencia manager, Benetiz looks set for Liverpool after Houllier 'quit' (well got sacked).

Alan Smith (once hero at Leeds) is now a vilian after joining their friendly neighbours Man Utd.

Last night, England drew 1-1 thanks to David James letting Ono score a goal. It all started so promisingly but Japan came on stronger and looked better than us.

Oh ... and McGliesh snubbed us for N'ton for money reasons (much like Connie)!

Hope your enjoying yourself Al.

1) Yes, there have.

2) I hear their central midfielder played a blinder.

Harsh ... I think it was more down to Beckham strolling about the pitch and failing to close down the attack ...

First , she splits up the Beatles and then Yoko Ono scores the equalising goal against us . Can no-one stop this woman ?

Then again when you select a woman to do a mans job what can you expect ?

Anyone still want to try to convince me that Beckham is world class ? Especially after watching his last display for Real Madrid. Full marks to the linesman, I wish more over here would flag the referee for blatant abuse. (You try explaining to an 8 year old boy what is acceptable at Roots Hall etc is not acceptable in the Sceptre League)

Would a midfield containing Lampard, Scholes/Butt, Gerrard, Hargreaves/Cole actually give us less of a chance of success in Portugal ?

Have we seriously not got any better options for Captain ?

Alas I come from a position of weakness having not watched the match. I'm banking on an early exit so we can get an English manager for an English football team. If we can't find an English manager good enough - tough sh*t !

Granted. But it went straight at him and ... well ... missed it.

I do think David James made a **** poor effort at saving it but he did see it late! I think you can more point the finger at Beckham for ball watching, Gary Neville for being out of position and Paul Scholes for once again failing to track back and picking up his man!

As for Beckham not being world class, I still think he is! A couple of bad games doesn't warren him being axed! This was just a friendly and England never perform in friendly's! We rise for the occasion and generally beckham leads the way in being most hiped up for these games! He has carried us at times!!

 

[nattrazz]

anyone else think that david james is a sh*t keeper the highest level he shold have plyed at was divison three and also Southend have signed Wayne Gray from the wombles
