Immediately into the second half England got things going, scoring in 61 seconds. The game ended 4-0, a comfortable win, Northern Ireland getting caned.
It could easily have been more for England, Frank Lampard missed a sitter, slamming it onto the post and over the goal. Sparkster.net caught Lampard the Cockney for an exclusive interview to discuss his performance.

Our Interviewer: “So Frank, England had a good game, you had a good game. You did however miss a sitter, what do you have to say about that?” Lampard: “You can call me Frankie me old mucka! It’s like this, I got da ball from Tezza and shot. It all went Pete Tong and flew up the apples and pears of Old Twaffod. ‘old on a minute mate, my dog and bone is ringing innit!” Our Interview: “Thank you Frank, send our love to Pat Butcher,” |
Come on England, sort it out! It’s half time during the England – Northern Ireland match. Not a great game so far, 0-0, disappointing. England had their chances but they should have converted them.
Northern Ireland have defended very well, hence the score line. Leeds United’s David Healy is playing for the Irish. I know this is wrong as I am English, but as a Leeds fan, every time he gets the ball I want him to score a blinder – as long as England win the game!
England should watch out for David Healy – he’s great!
This really is a must win game for England should they wish to gain automatic qualification to the World Cup next year. If it finishes 0-0 (or worse!), it certainly will be 2 points dropped.
Except another blog update at full time.
I got my new 2005-2007 England Football Shirt yesterday. Pretty nice design, similar to the one used in Euro ’96, however I do prefer the last one. If anything this new one is too plain and the material doesn’t seem as good, although manufacturers Umbro will argue that it is “new technology for sportswear” or some bollocks like that.
England are of course playing Northern Ireland tomorrow in a World Cup 2006 qualifier. They should win this easily, even though the mighty David Healy is playing for N. Ireland. Still, you never can tell with England, they (usually) do great against the tough teams and play crap against the minnows. No disrespect to N. Ireland just basing this upon games won-lost-drawn.
Moving on from football, I went shopping in Sainsbury’s yesterday evening an hour or so before closing. The shop is closed today as it is Good Friday, as this was the case everyone seemed to have lost the plot. They were buying trolley loads of… well rubbish!
I think that a common and highly bizarre fear in this country is that when a Bank Holiday is coming up there is a mass panic and people stock pile just in case they need that extra something on the day the supermarkets are closed!
Here’s a typical scenario you could expect to see in a supermarket the day before a Bank Holiday weekend…
Husband: “Shall we buy this pack of Beef suet?”
Wife: “What’s Beef suet?”
Husband: “Dunno love, but remember the shops are closed tomorrow, if we need it how in the hell would we buy it!!??”
Wife: “Oh my God George, you’re right! Quick buy packet of that crystallised ginger while your at it, actually make it 5 packs! You never know who might drop in tomorrow”
Madness!
Manchester United are such a bitter and bad losers. They are now moaning about being knocked out of The Champions League and are asking for the whole format of the competition to be changed to suite big clubs like themselves.
For those not in the know, Manchester United crashed out of the competition two weeks ago against Italian giants AC Milan (who were by far the better team). Chief exec of the club David Gill is now asking that so called “big clubs” should not be drawn together in the second round therefore allowing them both to progress further (full article here).
Gill used excuses such as less ‘glamour for the competition’ as well as ‘being bad for sponsors and television ratings’.
What bitter losers! The competition is perfectly fine as it is, if a club manages to get past the group stages and make it into the randomly drawn knock out round they all deserve to play each other however early or late in the competition. How dare they say it should be seeded!
I would like to add that Manchester United also fell out in the second round of The Champions League last year to Porto who back then were a small club!
Why don’t they just rig The FA Cup while they’re at it? Only allow Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool to be drawn in the quarter finals? PFT!!!
This is just one of a long series of moans from the club, remember the farce they made when they were drawn against Real Madrid in the quarter finals in 2003 – they accused UEFA of fixing the draw!
All this crap comes after Man Utd reveal their profits have halved leading to suggestion they’ll be taken over by an American who will almost certainly spell bad news for the club and that Alex Ferguson is by no means invulnerable and “sackable”.
Lastly, The Peter Kay Amarillo video has been removed and I’m sorry but it will NOT be re-uploaded. If you really want it buy the single, get it to No.1 again and help out Comic Relief.
Something I will upload that I found very funny is this Radio 1 parody of the song performed by Welshman Aled Jones from The Chris Moyles Show. He sings Show Me The Way To Aberystwyth (Aberystwyth besing a place in Wales). It’s very funny!
There is now a new section for my website – Hobart’s House. This is run by a good friend of mine and the blogger/webmaster of the now dead website Daninthemix.
His blogs are very amusing and an interesting perspective on life to say the least! So as an alternative to my blogs about Leeds United, nostalgic television and killer spiders, have a read of his. Hopefully he’ll keep giving me new blog entries to update it with!

So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
