(cue Land of Hope and Glory playing in background.) Titter ye not o celtically challenged one. Remember that in 1966 it seemed England's hopes had been scuppered by injury to our goalscoring superstar hero Jimmy Greaves. Up stepped the awkward, gangly, Geoff Hurst, a man with until that point a reputation similar to Crouch's now. The rest is history. ;D Maybe if Crouch had been Welsh you may be coming to the party. :DThis will be the TWELTH world cup of my lifetime, and the TENTH i've actually watched, yet i still await my first look at Wales. ???As Delia Smith said, "Where are you? Let's be 'avin' ya!" ;D At least the other parts of the "celtic fringe" have popped up occaisionally. We've had heroics from both sides of the Irish border and no World Cup is complete without it's hilarious contribution from the Scots, be it playing silly-buggers against Zaire in 1974, colliding with each other to give goals away like against Russia in '82, failing to score against a 10-man Uruguay in '86 PLUS the Peru/Iran/Costa Rica/Morocco debacles. To be honest i'm looking forward to England getting knocked out. The reactions of the celtic fringe simply make them look pathetic and foolish and make me feel so superior!!!!  ;D |

if (when) they do get knocked out does that mean the stupid twits that decorate their cars with flags will take them off ? they create a hazard to other road users, especially when they fall/fly off in front of people.  |

errrr.... whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssh to you Sultan.
I think Peter Crouch is brilliant, genuinely. My argument at work is that England will only win the world cup if Peter Crouch actually plays most of the time.
I also weld absolute power over a few people at work as to whether i can be arsed to cover said people if England get past the 2nd round and they want to get off work and watch the games.

errrr... what does "whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosssh" actually mean? I've seen at used a few times by the more chronologically depleted without really "getting" it.  I hope it doesn't mean you genuinely took offence- you've surely seen enough from me over the last three years on this subject to know that i'm only being playful and acting up to racial stereotypes I apologise if you were upset and offer up this link to help cheer you up... www.starterupsteve.com/swf/badgerfootball.html |

Total legend! Lol! Have you noticed how similar Crouch looks to Luke Chadwick? Has Chadwick been on a rack?
Love the irony in your nickname for Crouch, btw Nick.
