Not quite the Performance we were looking for, but a win is a win even if it was just the Welsh and soon perhaps the all the Lions will come together and savage the opposition. We seem to 2 lions short of a team at the moment.
Why is it that during every game I can never sit back and enjoy the game, every time the opposition attacks, I think to myself, here we go, 1 nil!
To me there still is too much, "Well I am wearing the shirt, that's it"
Well I am here to tell you that IT'S NOT!!!
Where's the pride, where's the conviction, where's the honour, wear the shirt and be proud, you wear that shirt for 40 million English people who kick every ball, header every cross and jump in at every tackle, and as for the friendly, what is a friendly, a chance for a nation with a very poor record against to stick one to us, build their confidence and esteem as another national outfit which has defeated the Great English Football Team.
No more chopping and changing, get it right and perform, play to our strengths, not the way the foreigners play, my god, we are European Champions and boast some of the best teams in the World!

This accolade goes to FIFA President, Sepp Blatter! Fifa insists a Great Britain team has to play at the 2012 Olympics but, in doing so, has said each home nation's individual status will not be affected. As a very proud footballing nation, nay, Nation, We the English should not be made a party to this violation of our heritage. I don't see Spain and Portugal uniting as one, Italy and Switzerland or the Scandinavians, so why try to impose this awful dereliction of National Pride on us?He says:
"We have confirmed in writing that they have to provide a Great Britain team for the 2012 Olympics," said Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
"But the four British associations will not lose the rights and privileges acquired back in 1947. "They will play with one team but it is up to them how they do it." Blatter added: "It can be a mixed team, it can be from just one of the home nations, whatever they want to do." I have one comment for Mr Blatter, "Go boil your head and try to sort out the offside rule!"
Thank you to Little Man in a Toque for this banner!
Here's a post for all of you cricket lovers who don't quite know the rules and are thirsty for knowledge......You think the news has too much coverage now with England going 2-1 up in the series with one test to go....well...look out because if England don't lose, We have the Ashes. So here's the explanation:You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they're all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game! I don't know why no one understands this game, it's so simple!
This story amazes me..........I know that all the proceeds are going to very worth while causes....But look at the image on the left...If you had the chance, would you pay a small fee to look over this replica of Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory?A back up for future generations?These donations would be an on going income for the cancer charities and local good causes.Or would you prefer this..a one off donation?
Leave me a comment, tell Me what you think?Check out the full story here....or go to the official HMS Victory website
