...and a lot of the time it ends in a whimper. So statistically England's greatest captain Michael Vaughan, with no real chance of an international comeback, announced his immediate retirement from cricket. ...read the full post →

You won a semi-final penalty shootout…

...Stuart. You didn't really think you'd go on and beat the Germans now did you? England rode their luck to get to the European U21 Championship final but were beaten by a far better German side. ...read the full post →

Twenty20 like all games of cricket is…

...a game of numbers. But I do wish England would stop playing by the numbers, it's just far too predictable but they teased me into bothering about this whole knockabout stuff. ...read the full post →

James Peter Greaves would’ve scored…

...more than six against that Andorra and he's 69 years old. Jimmy Greaves picked up his World Cup winners medal and figured he his mates who also received there's could beat the side England were facing in a World Cup qualifier. ...read the full post →

Never mind the quality…

...feel the width. Fabio has managed another England win with yet another far from convincing display against Kazakhstan in Saturday's World Cup qualifier. ...read the full post →

I have to admit I didn’t watch…

...the Cup final on Saturday. Thankfully Guus Hiddink is a man of his word and has headed back off to Russia though he should really be flying out to lead England in their World Cup qualifiers. ...read the full post →

Can we move on now…

...he got number 108 did bugger all with it except show why it should be the last. Fabio says he learned a lot from the flattering 2-0 defeat to Spain, it's doubtful going by the players he used. ...read the full post →
