Usual crap really Croatia will be shaking in there boots.. not They only scraped a 3-2 win in Slovenia tonight... Which ITV amusingly described as "ominous"... ooh, they scraped a win against a nation who hasn't qualified for anything since 2002, I'm shaking in my boots What have we learned from last night? Gerrard is *not* a left winger. But he still put in a good performance. Beckham can still provide goals, but he's frustrating in open play, so if there's another specialist out there, Beckham's days are numbered. Gerrard is our best player, so IMO we should stick him in the centre and build the team around him.

Beckham gets far too much criticism. Yes, he's old. Yes, he's not as good as he used to be and yes, he plays in an inferior league to everyone else.
However, even still we always seem to score more often when he's in the team than when he's not. The amount of assists he still makes in comparison to everyone else says that he must still be part of England for the forseeable future atleast. Starting XI, maybe not, Bentley should probably get his chance. But to leave someone with such experience and dead ball quality (which let's face it always seems to be our best chance of scoring) would be completely daft. Gabby Agbonlahor and Ashley Young must soon surely be squad regulars too.

Dare I mention that Austria almost beat Italy? Just like we did with you guys prior to the EC.

And Scharner had his big comeback... both him and Pogatetz were injured, though.

I hope it's only a minor thing - bring back Mad Dog! You need more Austrians in Premier League...

Did you ever see "his" Myspace page?
"Good afternoon sports fans. My name is Emanuel Pogatetz, the biggest mad dog alive. I am a professional footballer and i'm currently playing for Middlesbrough FC in the north east of England. It's a great job and it keeps me out of trouble. In my spare time i enjoy a parmo, a cold brew and going out with my team-mates down the Bongo club. I am an aggressive person but I do try and keep myself out of trouble as much as possible. However, when people say things to me that i feel are wrong i usually kick their head in, or throw a brick through their front windows.
I'm a regular for the Austrian team and although our national team isn't great i still love to go back there and visit my old friends. I'm currently single and i could do with a woman to help me around the house and to clean the windows after i pushed my old window cleaner of the ladder. However, Massimo comes round every week and cuts the grass and waters the plants which is a great help to me."

In other England news, if people are unsure about David James, then remember that Manuel Almunia will be eligible to play for England from the New Year ;D

Meh, I don't even think Almunia is *that* good. He's probably better than what we have but still not really good enough. If he was he'd have been picked for a Spanish squad by now.
