England Failures


It was another embarrassing night for English football as we crashed out of the Euro qualifiers with a 3 – 2 defeat to Croatia. England’s blushes were already spared once by Israel when they beat Russia at the weekend, which meant all we needed was a draw to secure a place in the tournament next summer. However, Steve Mclaren’s team, or ex –team if reports are to be believed, went 2 nil down within the first 20 minutes, only to claw it back in the second half with a lucky penalty and great finish by lanky Peter Crouch, to then see them concede the lead once more.

With such individual talent in the England line up, qualification for major tournaments such just be a mere formality, but as per usual our superstars with their super salaries failed to perform, leaving qualification to the last minute which back fired dramatically last night. With Mclaren almost certainly being shown the door, bets are already being taken for his predecessor, whose first job will to ensure England qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

From Bad to Worse for Winehouse

TROUBLED star Amy Winehouse looks like she is bee-hiving badly again - snapped with a white blob up her nose.
The dishevelled singer had just spent two hours after a Blackpool gig with a young Mini-Me fan.
She spotted the girl with a copy of her trademark hairdo and jumped off stage to hand her earrings.
Then she grabbed her by the hand and invited her back stage.
When the pair appeared again onlookers were left wondering if 24-year-old Amy - who claims to be be free of drugs - had slipped back to wild ways.
One said: “Amy had been in high spirits all night and clearly had blobs of a white powder up her nose.
“She looked a bit wide-eyed too.
“I can only imagine what the girl’s mum will make of it all.”
A fan at Tuesday’s show said: “She turned up an hour late, but she soon won us over.”
