For those of you who are into the festival scene, or Bacardi...

Haha genius! We don't need no stinking Smurfs, we've already got all the Smurf we need ta very much...

Sex toys. Porn. Free stuff.

I hope it's still there when you lot look at this, but following on from Shaners well spotted 'Newquay ad's' comment, currently on our Blog page there are ad's for The Smurfs!

I know its my loss pal, I love playing (and watching!) Shefford, but I just got a feeling it's going to become really difficult. Even the Thursdays I'm not working, I wont be home before half six, let alone getting up to Newbury. Still, that just first impressions, but the first few weeks of a job are always busier, so it might calm down and give me more time than I think I'll have.

Your loss.

Do what you can mate, take it from me it's not good not feeling as much of a part of it as you used to, so get to as many trainings as possible just for the run out and then as and when you are available/needed it makes everything a bit easier.

Plus by Christmas Arsenal's season will be limited to Champions League qualification and a minor trophy, so maybe we'll see you more from January.

Ive really not had a clue who I want to win. The Germans have played in the right spirit, and my friends that went over said it was such a great atmosphere and everyone was so friendly, that they wanted them to win. The Ports drive me mad, but the Italians are the inventors of the dive, and the French are, well, French.

However, brilliant match last night, and I was pleased it didnt go to Pens. Hopefully a France Italy final will be a really good match, Zidanes last, Henry in the final up against the frankly immens Cannavaro...



Cant make it Thursday gents. To be honest, I'm not sure how big a part I'll be able to play this season. I'll be working some Thursday evenings, and with the Arsenal season ticket either the Sunday will be my only 'free day', or I'll be at the Emirates. Quite rightly, I'll be on the bench a lot, due to missing games, but it gets a bit catch 22, because that then makes it less likely I'll come along on the days I could.

I know we're supposed to hate them, but I did feel sorry for the Germans last night. Going a goal down that late on would have been enough to crush most teams but bless em they still thought they might as well give it a go and really tried for that equaliser, only to be punished even further, not that the second goal really mattered in the end.

Quality goals from the Italians, when you could have fully accepted that the player would have just had a shot from where he was so close to the end of the game, he held it, held it and held it then pinged it through to his team-mate to set up the goal (still a great finish from there though). Shows real football pedigree that.

I think it's important that we should look past our history of wars, previous sporting defeats, etc and embrace the fact that the Germans and Italians played some good stuff and both approached the game in the right way. I think it helps generate the respect that the game needs.

Now we just need France to break some Portuguese legs.

Yep - defo. I need to sweat off some pounds (I've heard all the jokes), hopefully it will have cooled down a little bit, as it's fecking hot and very little air.

Everybody up for training on Thursday then? Same time (7pm) same place (Northcroft). If it's thundering we'll go for some training theory in, say, The Lion...

I've only seen photos of the stamp, not a video replay. Have to admit I didn't think it was a sending off at the time but if he's stamped on someone, or even attempted to, then it's a straight red.

And I don't blame Ronaldo so much cos if one of their players had stamped on one of ours then our players would have been having a go at the ref as well. I saw a quick replay though of Ronaldo "headnudging" Rooney to wind him up earlier in the game so they obviously had a game plan to get Rooney sent off, and the silly bugger fell for it.

And when everyone went for Beckham after the Argentina sending off it was because he represented everything that was bad about Man U at the time, the arrogance of what he did. Whereas these days Man U suck and nobody gives a damn about them, so Rooney will get off much more lightly. Shame really, as Beckham sorted himself out after that and, until recently, was an even better player than he might have been if he hadn't been villified like that. So I'm burning my Rooney effigy tonight at Henwick if anyone's interested, in the hope that we then win Euro 2008...

As someone who watched the game near-sober....I'm still amazed by how Rooney was been let off with it. In '98 Beckham got torn to shreads to getting sent off in a crucial game for reacting to the foul, but Rooney, despite (perhaps accidentally) stamping on a guy, and then clearly pushing the rat in front of the Ref, is still a hero! Granted, it was never ever a sending off, and England played much better after, but pushing another player, less than a metre from the ref (and with the standard of Ref-ing we have had in this World Cup) is so stupid it hurts.

Although I'm sure it will hurt Ronaldo.

As a Villa fan...........................I hope someone burns his house down with him and David O'Leary in it!

as a united fan. i hope he gets sold....don't care who to just get rid of the portuguese t*****

He won't be going back to United, he's already said he wants to go to Real Madrid, and I'm sure Rooney will make it perfectly clear he's not welcome.

They said on talk sport this morning that Rooney had to be physically restrained from going into there dressing room after the game!

Should have let him in.

Oh well. on the bright side NO MORE ERIKKSON!!!!

Who wants a pound on the first player to Break Ronaldo's legs this season!!!!! I'll go for Rooney!!!!

Don't it make you feel good?

To Sum Up............................C***'S

Paul Robinson is confident that England can win the World Cup...
