I didn't actually hear him criticise Shaw for "lack of defensive attributes", I heard him say he wasn't as good as Cole defensively, but that was about it.

I love the headline on BBC sports page "Rooney wants to shine- Hodgson". :facepalm

Really, I mean seriously. Oh deer as if he's going to tell the manager "Gee, I'd really like to perform poorly at this next world cup". "Well you have my full support Wayne if that is your wish".

What about the 2006 FA Cup final where Liverpool came from 2-0 down to win?

Also, Fulham didn't relegated in 1966.

It doesn't count as a "win" because it was penalties, its a draw.

Saw that on the beeb live feed of the champs league. A very convincing set of of coincidences. FIFA should just fix it to make England win for continuity's sake.

Can think of around 10 strikers that Spain could have picked ahead of Torres but i guess Del Bosque wants his experience.

I'd rather see the Brazil WC moved, considering the stadiums still aren't ready and the amount of people that have died working round the clock.
