The dream is over

Same old same old, its not been the best World cup and not just because England have been awful the dreaded Vuvuzela and some strange results, Today we met the old enemy Germany and although we have been playing rubbish i honestly thought our boys would be up for it and go and turn the Gerry's over. Oh dear how wrong was i, we relied too much on the likes of Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard and Terry but they were never at this World Cup they might as well have brought some players from the Championship we never ever looked like we had a team that could of won this tournament but the way we lost it today was embarrassing the back four were all over the place a giving the Germans acres of space. at two nil down we were given a small glimmer of hope i went to the loo and when i got back get in 2-1 a goal from Cart horse Matthew Upson he scored with a header and only minutes later Lampard lobbed the ball towards goal and it clearly went over the line only for the Ref and Liner not to give the goal i am sure if we the goal had been given we might just have held on and gone to penalties and we know how good at them we are dont we NOT. I feel destroyed at the way the German's ripped us apart our defence was all over the place. an awful World Cup and an embarrassing England performance - should Fabio take the blame well at £4,000,000 per year i feel we have been let down and yes he has failed i personally think we should have an English Manager that wants the best for our country and not some glorified coach that is just hear for the money. roll on the start of the football season

The rumours have started

As always at this time of year you always hear rumours of which players are signing for this club and that club and for a few days now the Brid supporters have been hearing of players quitting our team and moving to Scarborough Athletic rumour has it that Boro have almost doubled Brian France's wage budget allowing him to sign better quality players and some of ours are sure to be tempted by the higher wages than most clubs at our level can afford, one player who looks a dead cert to have already gone is Frank Belt a Bridlington lad who has a rocket of a free kick a nice lad but i am sure we can find a replacement as good. although only rumours at the moment but more players from our Championship winning squad are sure to be tempted by the extra money Boro can afford to pay. I have not been Athletic's biggest fan and my mates who are both Boro supporters have not helped me with my feelings (they bloody hammered me in the league defeat last season), I kind of hope they can progress and get close to the football league like the old Scarborough and as long as we dont lose to them ever again. i just hope that most of our players will stick with us. Good luck to Frankie hope he has a good season well not that good you know what i mean don't you

Things can only get better

Well its England's second match in the 2010 World cup against Algeria the Town(Bridlington) is buzzing supporters going to the pub to watch the match, me and the lads opt for Greyhound its heaving we cant get close to the big screen but end up near a smaller tv, from the start i felt disappointed our players lack passion and looked like they could not be bothered to even sing our national anthem once the game started Algeria always looked like they wanted this game more than us, we created chances but for some strange reason players who would normally smash the ball into the back of the net felt the need to try and make that extra pass it was such an awful game to watch. i have to admit i honestly thought Algeria were going to nick a goal. The England fans actually over powered the horrible Vuvuzela's when they started to boo the England players, Key players like Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard had no impact what so ever. Once the final whistle went i was kind of relieved that we held on for a point but still very disappointed that we did not get the win. finally when the players were leaving the pitch Wayne Rooney made a comment to the camera saying "nice to see your own fans booing" well my view on that is our team did not perform and these supporters have paid a lot of money to go to this World cup and they had every right to boo when our team was so s**t. roll on Wednesday and fingers crossed our boys can pull off a result in this must win game.

ITV HD England vs USA Game Balls Up

Oh dear oh dear not only did Robert Green have a nightmare last night but those people who watched in HD (including myself) missed the bloody goal see footage below

The Green Green howler of England

Day 2 of the 2010 World cup and England's first game against the American's, it was a game that to be honest i thought would be a draw and yes i predicted a 1-1 draw, it was all looking so promising when England Captain Steven Gerrard received the ball from Emile Heskey and knocked the ball past Tim Howard just after 4 minutes (i actually missed the goal because ITV HD decided to put an advert on just as we scored Unbelievable) , America who should not be underestimated are no mugs in fact most of their players play in top European leagues and they did create some good chances and probably deserved the draw but the way they got their goal was one of those crazy moments in football Fulham's Clint Dempsey hits a shot towards keeper Robert Green a shot that he should have easily picked up but no he has a mare and the ball ends up in the back of the net (see footage below) I think every England supporter was stunned by this but not a stunned as Dempsey he was walking away thinking Green picked that up easy next thing he is celebrating the luckiest goal he will ever score.



Oh well roll on Friday when we take on Algeria
