      I'd rather eat my shoes than watch footy. Masterchef is on the telly, much better viewing!

        Gardeners Corner is right here - even better than Masterchef (and presumably shoe eating too..... :snork:) :dbgrtmb:

            Did we Win?:mute: Perhaps if these footballers wasn't paid so much money a week to dance around a piece of grass for ninety minutes they might put more effort into the game.Perhaps if they paid them say £5 a week then gave them a big bonus of say £6 a week it might give them an incentive to do better:snork:

            Much rather watch the tennis on the telly:cool:

            PS When does the ladies World Cup start?:love30:

                  Great to see you Kandy :smile: The England Ladies team are doing very well for next years (2015) world cup:blue thumb:;)

                  England move within a point of World Cup
                  Casey Stoney and Eniola Aluko's goals earn a 2-1 win over Ukraine but England must wait to seal a place at the 2015 World Cup.

                  Wales are the now only team who can pip England to top spot in Group Six.

                  The Finals will be held in Canada;)

                  England's
                  results so far
                  • Belarus (h) - W 6-0
                  • Turkey (h) - W 8-0
                  • Wales (h) - W 2-0
                  • Turkey (a) - W 4-0
                  • Montenegro (h) - W 9-0
                  • Ukraine (h) - W 4-0
                  • Belarus (a) - W 3-0
                  • Ukraine (a) - W 2-1
                  • Wales (a) - 21 August 2014
                  • Montenegro (a) - 17 September 2014

                    I got told off for potty mouth at the footy by Mrs L :( I have the same belief that as these bags of wind are paid excruciatingly, eye watering sums off wedge every week then I don't just expect them to be good, I expect and require them to be exceptional. Polished, sharp and crisp in passing, fitter than a robbers dog and personal standards so high even the Queen would weep.

                    Frankly this has been a[nother] cruel example of club before country.

                    The ladies competition is light years ahead in performance and behind in pay. Not fair at all.

                        @wiseowl,
                        You still think this is?? :scratch:

                        Personally, I think the English game is in a very sorry state.
                        We have one of the richest, if not the richest league in the World, and the national team is a total disgrace.
                        Too many foreign players come here for the money, and it is having a negative impact on the national team.

                          Good morning Sirius my friend yes I stand by my original statement,I was at Wembley in 1966 watching England win the World Cup,I have been a fan of football and not just one team but of the beautiful Game;) The manager has done an incredible job,it just came a little early for him and us . You like many others can criticise the team and the game as that is your right my friend:smile:

                            Good morning Sirius my friend,yes I stand by my original statement:old: I have always been a fan of football not of any team,I was at Wembley in 1966 ,and have seen most of the previous England teams,The manager has done and will continue to do a great job,I have been to the series A league in Italy many times,where I am fortunate to have relations in Milan ,all that has happened is that the world cup came a little to early ,I still say we will win the Euro final:smile:

                            You are entitled to your opinnion and I respect that,But I just happen to love the game itself ,and the fitness,pride,commitment,work rate of the modern football player,I am no more interested in what they earn ,or anyone else's salary,or lifestyle:smile:

                            We must agree to disagree and to remain friends,I am now going for a lie down ,as I have a pressure headache:heehee: [​IMG]

                            This is just Woos opinion because he just loves England and all things English;)
