:lol: :oops: Fucking hell, I'm having a mare! :lol:

Mind you, it was hardly a tournament to stick in the mind as far as England was concerned, eh?

Oh, and Bringles, I think it genuinely comes down to you being a football purist - absolutely no bad thing and you're following the right team for that :wink: Evidenced by your username and your favourite players. I'm a little more pragmatic but think we both respect what the other side brings to the game. :up:

I'm glad that you said 'football purist' when other people might have said 'football snob' :grin:.

This is why I cleanse myself with Barcelona each week after a weekend of Premiership football.

Looks to have a bad Achilles injury judging by how he just pulled up against Chievo. Looked serious, could be out for a while.

England had better hope that Lennon gets fit in time because otherwise it's SWP and Walcott for the right, and that's a worrying proposition.

Genuinely gutted for me and him. My favourite non Spurs player and I have the same 'gutting' feeling I had when Gazza was left out by Hoddle.

Gutted.

I could see him retiring now, feel bad for him, he goes to Italy to keep match fit for the WC and this happens, it's a damn shame fro him and England.

Sickener. :-(

The squad might not end up much weaker in a footballing sense, but the team and the tournament itself will be a poorer place for his absence. Still, he'll only be 39 in 2014. I wouldn't put it past him!

Team player/manager of GB footy in 2012 anyone?

He should still go to the WC as a honoury member. His involvement and experience would be invaluable. And if we were to win it i'd hope they would make an extra medal.
