International Football
Friendly
Tonight England face Ghana in an international friendly, played to a full Wembley. It’s a historic night for Ghana who’ve never played us in England before, and the match should give them a chance to test themselves against players who consider themselves amongst the better in the world. Except it hasn’t quite worked out like that, has it? Instead of Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole, it’s going to be Gareth Barry and Leighton Baines – something the Ghanaians aren’t happy about.

Black Mountain
One thing you learn from being a fan of Birmingham City Football Club is that success wasn’t meant for you. Playing nice football and winning trophies is for other teams; you have to make do with the occasional brilliant moment in a game and maybe the odd run to a decent finish. It prepares you […]

Arteta
After the home game for Everton against Wolves, the BBC interviewer mentioned to Mikel Arteta that Fabio Capello was in the stands, and that Arteta was being mentioned as someone who could possibly play for England – how did he feel about it. To be fair to Arteta, he gave a non-committal answer stating that […]

Post Mortem
So it’s been a few days now since England ignominiously crashed out of the World Cup, and I thought I might reflect on a few things now the meedja has had it’s say. Firstly, I have to pick up on this: http://bit.ly/cNkYFm (thanks @brucedaisley). It’s true, the internet never forgets, and this is proof that […]

Anti-hyperbole
A few hours have now passed since the match with Slovenia, and I thought I’d jot down some notes about the game as I saw it. Bearing in mind the hullabaloo from the weekend about his inclusion (or non-inclusion as it turned out), I think Fabio Capello was justified in not starting Joe Cole. Whilst […]

Flagging
Whilst the crosses of St George still flap happily in the breeze, the hopes of the England football team are flagging in South Africa; and with it the dreams of many back here in blighty. Where I live, there are England flags everywhere. They adorn cars, trucks, houses and places of business. Some have put […]

The World Cup
I have something very shameful to admit. Whilst every football fan is getting whipped up into a frenzy about the World Cup starting today, I have to admit – I’m just not that excited. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the World Cup. The idea of 64 matches over the next month should appeal for […]
