England embarrassment .

I am feeling more than a little gutted this morning, after the terrible performance from our England players yesterday.  I felt somewhat embarrassed to support the team.   As if it is not bad enough that these over paid players are earning in the region of fifty thousand pounds per week - more than I'll ever see in my life at this time.  They couldn't even get the defense correct with that long kick by the German goal keeper.  Where is or should I say was Rooney? Burned out after a successful season at Man Utd.  Gerard didn't really seem to inspire and there is no need to mention the goal that wasn't allowed and don't even mention the war!

Well folks, it seems we have one Prime Minister and a deputy running the country maybe the England team need to work that way.  Also, why should players get paid for playing for their country, they should do it free of charge as a matter of pride and honor and then maybe they would try harder.

It begs the point whether we should select and include players from Scotland, Ireland and Wales, then we will have a United Kingdom.

It is not only the fans here in UK I feel sorry for, who have spent money on flags and kit, etc.  The fans who have spent thousands on traveling to South Africa to support a team that has again disappointed.

We were also beaten by a German racing driver, so not a very good day all round.

Oh well, keep pouring the gin.

What no Doctors ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Whilst I support England all the way, it is infuriating to a degree that the BBC in their wonderful wisdom drop Doctors from the programme schedules.  This is for a month because of the football and Wimbledon.  Now looking through the Radio Times as I do.   BBC Two is full of repeats, Ready, Steady, Cook and the likes, why couldn't Doctors be moved over for the duration of the cup and tennis.  This used to happen with neighbours, so much so, that until it was purchased by channel five we were nearly eighteen months behind in the plot - if there is really one!

We all no that the beeb ram tennis constantly down our throats for two weeks, so our favourite progs get dropped any way, what about BBC three, four and the HD channel? Surely someone with some sense can see that not everyone wants sport dominating their live 24/7, what we want is some form of escape from the hardship of living in the 21st Century.

Oh well, will have to get my soap fix from the other side.
