still cant believe that england cant seem to get any forwards to start for them besides crouch, owen and rooney, especially with two of those being hurt all the time
On the Eve of the new Season...
see, as a toon suporter i really dont have a huge problem with it (although i'd like to see jimmy mils get a run out)
as a fan of english football, i dont want to see all of my favorite player's euro chances hanging on players who are always hurt or cant get a game with their club

My thoughts from the past few days….
Micah Richards won't play for City next season. He might be in Manchester next year, but he won't be wearing blue.
Which has proven to be a bigger problem for England in the last 5-10 years: Giggs being Welsh or Howard, Keller, Freidel, or (insert any other American keeper here) not being English?
Casper Schmeichel makes me feel old.
I was wrong but right - Heinze went overseas, just not to France.
Spain is the perfect place for the diving Robben. In hindsight, I'm glad United didn't sign him, though I was pissed when it happened.
That was a blatant push in the US game that led to the Swedish goal. A very unfortunate result.
Lehmann's not injured. He's just retarded.
And with that, the next round of games:
Saturday, August 25th
7:30 Sunderland v Liverpool (Set)
10:00 Chelsea v Portsmouth (Set)
10:00 Arsenal v Manchester City (FSC)
12:00 Everton v Blackburn (FSC)
4:30 Aston Villa v Fulham (Set Delayed)
1:30am Derby v Birmingham (FSC Delayed)
Sunday, August 26
8:30 Middlesbrough v Newcastle Utd (Set)
11:00 Manchester United v Tottenham (FSC)

Manchester United hero Solskjaer reitres
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought the curtain down on his glorious playing career with Manchester United - but his Old Trafford days are from over.
After 11 years and 366 appearances for the club he joined for a bargain £1.5million from Norwegian side Molde, Solskjaer has had to finally call it a day due to an ongoing knee injury.
Striker Solskjaer, who famously scored the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich to help the club win the treble in 1999, has made several comebacks in the last four years.

is this what british research dollars are being spent on - proving the worthlessness of their football exports?!? :p
Study: T-rex could outrun David Beckham
LONDON, England (Reuters) – The smallest dinosaur could reach speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour and even the lumbering Tyrannosaurus rex would have been able to outrun most modern-day sportsmen, according to research published on Wednesday.
Scientists using computer models calculated the top speeds for five meat-eating dinosaurs in a study they say can also illustrate how animals cope with climate change and extinction.
The velociraptor, whose speed and ferocity was highlighted in the film "Jurassic Park", reached 24 miles per hour while the T-rex could muster speeds of up to 18 miles per hour, the study published in the Royal Society's Biological Sciences showed.
"Our research, which used the minimum leg-muscle mass T-rex required for movement, suggests that while not incredibly fast, this carnivore was certainly capable of running and would have little difficulty in chasing down footballer David Beckham, for instance," said Phil Manning, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester, who worked on the study.
