Sorry hun , forgot innit , you can merge if you want

Nice cross from Gerrard and well taken header from Lescott , need to get forward a bit more on the flanks , need a win here peeps . Sweden up next and you know how that will be , I,ll settle with a draw here tonight , a win would be great . C,MON ENGLAND

We have no movement.
We piss about getting out of defence
We insist on getting 6 players defensive line when being attacked but don't push the line up to fill the 15 yard void
We can only pass to feet not into space creating natural movement and flow

None of these are new or because of Woy. Deeper than that.

The no passing into space winds me up something rotten and to think we used to call Butch Wilkins "the crab" because he only passed sideways. Now we can only play backwards. We're no shitter than normal and can see us getting the draw which is good enough but if we drew Spain or Italy we would be fucked.

I will, later, on my own.....

If, I say if, the French are a good team, we made them look ordinary. The ref was bias and a wanker......

Well done lads, especially our babies.

Happy with the point but if the Turnips win tonight we could be deep in the brown stuff and everything that JDLK said

Gotta watch this one , its our oppos . Ukraine looking dangerous going forward , the defense a bit nervous though , something to expose when we play them . At least we are top of the group at the mo

0-0 will do , O' and a few key players seeing red

Big Nose ?

Oi who you calling big nose ?

The Romans

The England Supporters Band was unable to play at the team's first 2012 European Championship game after having their instruments confiscated at the stadium in Ukraine.

Band leader John Hemmingham said Monday's match against France was the first time the group had not played at an England game in 16 years.

The Sheffield-based band said it was working with the Football Association (FA) to resolve the issue.

The FA said it did not want to comment.

At football stadiums around the world there are often bans on certain items, but the band had been told arrangements had been made for them to be allowed in with their brass instruments and drums.

Mr Hemmingham said: "The FA had done all of the necessary agreements but it was overturned at the last minute.

"We got ready to play half an hour before kick-off and then stewards came up to us and said: 'No, we've made a mistake. You have to take the instruments out now, you can't play'.

"We had to put our instruments in storage."

The band, who are aged between 18 and 76 and provide music to add atmosphere to England games, sat through the game at the stadium in Donetsk, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

"It was kind of weird," Mr Hemmingham said. "Fans were asking where our instruments were."

Mr Hemmingham, who founded the band in 1993 when members played during Sheffield Wednesday games, said the band had met with the FA for reassurances for future games.
'Big worry'

He said the FA was working to resolve the issue before England's game on Friday against Sweden in Kiev and the match on Tuesday against Ukraine at the Donetski stadium.

Mr Hemmingham added: "We're very much hopeful that we'll get in at Kiev because it's a different stadium.

"The big worry will be when we come back to Donetsk, but I know the FA are trying very very hard," added Mr Hemmingham.

A spokesman for the FA said it would not comment on the matter until discussions had taken place.

I did notice their absence.......Can't make up my mind, if this is a good or a bad thing..

Anyone watching it . Not a bad game so far 1-2 at the mo but I dont think it will finish with that score . Portugal need to win or they are dekcuf, Denmark win and they are through . I heard today that Cashley Cole is injured and Leyton Baines has taken his spot , anyone got any info on that sublect ?

Well Blinkey had a mare of a game and missed two sitters , Jacobsson has had a good tournament so far IMO and put in a great cross for Bentner to head home for Denmark,s 2nd goal but the Portugeezers ended up with a much needed 3-2 win . Now for Ze Germans v Dutch game

Talking to yourself again hunny....

I thought Denmark were gonna do the portugeezers there....Shame.

Yep.....Now for Holland v Germany, never too much is there

Looks like the dutch are out of the games now with the Brussels leading with 2-0 , but never say never

neuken je Robben

D'oh 1-2
