Kill the pundits

Mardy Diary writes: Well, er, that was quick wasn't it. Sure, there's still a chance of England going through but it only needs Italy to be a bit rubbish today or when they play Uruguay and it will be over. And you can always rely on Italy to be a bit rubbish when it matters.

Have we learned anything then? I've learned that the Premier League is the perfect place for foreign strikers to learn how to score against weak English defenders. We clearly need to blindfold all foreign players for the next few seasons, or at least make them English citizens and stop them playing for other countries. That should even things up a bit.

On the positive side we got a good bunch of youngsters there to build a positive future for the England side with a long-term aim of winning a trophy in the next eight years coach into mundanity so at the next tournament we have to tolerate more generic athletes incapable of passing to each other.

WHY DOES STEVEN GERRARD NEVER SMILE? WHY? EVEN WHEN HE'S WINNING AND SHIT. FUCKING SMILE YOU TWAT.

Anyway, enough of that guff. Time to start planning for next season. Hurst has claimed to be not interested in a bunch of strikers that the Telegraph have been mentioning for the past few weeks. You never really know with Hurst whether he's just being coy though - he has a track record of showing no interest before signing the player the next day.

He has admitted, however, that he's been watching the superbly named Omar Bogle, but says that Town are reluctant to pay much of a fee. I personally feel Fenty should break the bank to ensure Town have Bogle and Aswad in the same team - not for any footballing reasons, but just for the tenuous music reference. Think of the headlines, Fenty. This is worth bankrupting the club for.

Have a good weekend. I'm buying my season ticket this weekend - I've given it a lot of thought but now that I know celebrity hair appreciator London Diary is getting one I feel I need to keep up appearances. See ya.
