Neville should be back for the Portugal match, so other than decicing between Hargreaves and Carrick, the team picks itself: Robinson Neville, Rio, Terry, A.Cole Hargreaves(or Carrick) Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, J.Cole Rooney and I would bring Lennon and Crouch on in the last 20-30 mins depending on how things are going.

Agree. An appalling human being.

It might be worth keeping the private plate on it, if you bought it with the car. You might be able to sell the plate on at a later date, and make a bit of cash.

Ring your insurer and tell them what you have bought, they will adjust your premiums accordingly. Not sure about the private plate, but I would start by ringing the DVLA or looking at their website.

He went off on one spectacular tangent last night, telling a story he probably uses when he is doing after-dinner speaking. Half way through it Adrian Childes pulled him up and said "Er, Martin, you do realise we're on air?"

He's 26, not 32 or 33, and an ACL injury isn't the career-ender it used to be in the past. Having said that I expect him to play less games for us in the coming season than he did in the last one.

Anyone watching the Beeb's highlights tonight? O'Neills rambling is getting worse by the day, they're going to have to send a search party out for him soon.

He's professional and mentally (alas, not physically) tough. He'll be back.

The Christmas Tree: ------------Rooney -----Lampard--Gerrard -J.Cole-Hargreaves-Beckham A.Cole-Terry-Ferdinand-Neville ------------Robinson

Owen's injury spoilt the whole bloody night for me. My lass didn't do herself any favours like.... Me: Fuck, Owen's injured! Her: He's been shit anyway. Me: But he plays for Newcastle AND he's injured...AGAIN!!! Her: So, atleast Crouch can come on now. I like Crouch She claims to be a Newcastle fan aswell 151483[/snapback] She sounds a fucking idiot. No offence like

So it's pronounce "Kowt" 151824[/snapback] Hey, its ITV remember..... I'll stick with "Kite" for now. 151827[/snapback] I thought it was "Quoit" (as in the throwing-rings-over-peg-game-popular-on-ships).

Wasn't it the broken ankle/ ankle ligaments at Goodison?

I bet he doesn't play again before Christmas. Big-money bid for Kuyt and a bargain-of-the-season bid for David Nugent please.

Someone has just sent me a txt asking if Boumsong is coaching England in defending set-pieces.

Did you hear that the Sweden manager earns in year what Sven gets in a week?

Yep, he's still got the skills. Particularly liked the move where he laid down and let the ball run all the way down his body, to his feet.

Just seen the reply again. You can see the knee 'pop'.

Assuming Owen won't play again in this tournament, how about bringing back the 'Christmas Tree' formation? Back four; midfield three of Beckham, Hargreaves and Joe Cole; Lampard & Gerrard in support; Rooney at the point.

Seeing that plus listening to Southgate's commentary is making me feel suicidal

Defoe seething tbh. The little fucker better be fit for our Intertoto campaign

Robben got booked for diving in Hollands first game. EDIT: second game.

On Santostastic.net someone has just written the same thing about England. In Portuguese.

O'Neill going off on a ramble again. You can see the others just looking at each other. His middle name should be Tangent.

I'm not sure he does. Kenyon might though.
