United lost after outplaying Celtic in the first half. Howver it was a great freekick but was not a foul. Vidic didnt took the player who dived – he was a former Chelsea player remember!!

We got a penalty right at the end and Saha took it. He missed – it was a good save by the keeper. However Saha should not have taken pen. Should have been Ronaldo – he is very calm under pressure. It was also in the news after the match that Gary Neville predicted the miss by Saha.
Remember the World Cup penalty.

We now need to at least draw against Benfica – who knocked us out last time There was a terrible tackle on Scholes – it could have broken his leg! It really was a bad tackle.

I wasnt going to post about this since I find watching England so dull now but here goes. Last night was not that much better but at least we didnt lose. We played a quite poor Holland team who in some ways were lucky to get a draw. It was a good to see Rooney score, first in about a year. The game ended 1-1.

However once again the tactics are confusing. Its like Sven again but not as bad (yet). Poor Andrew Johnson, who is a similar player to Owen with his small build and pace, gets pushed out and plays as a right winger. What McClaren should do is play Johnson upfront ala Owen and Rooney just behind him in ‘the hole’. You have to feel sorry for him Johnson. The new right back Micah Richards did very well against a very good player in Robben. He got caught out once or twice but did well. He has did very well in the build up for the goal. Joe Cole was properly the best player of the night, with an excellent cross for Rooney, but let himself down with his diving. The game was overall boring – the best part was after Holland equalised – the last 5 minutes were the best of the game! On the subject of Holland equalising – once again Englands weakest link was exposed with Paul Robinson failing to deal with a long throw. Gerrard was Ok but really should have scored at least 1.

McClaren has said “That was our best, most consistent 90-minute performance during my time as coach,” Hmmm – not sure about that!!! However he also says we are in a good position to qualify for Euro2008 – even though Croatia and Russia won and we are now third in the qualification table.

Cool!! That will make surfing the Internet completely wireless

Havent really blogged for awhile. About 2 weeks ago played in a 5 a side football tournament. We didnt to very well and got knocked out before the knockout stages. It was our first time as team in tournament so hopefully better next year. We had 2 teams in the tournament – I was in the B team, the A team at least managed to win 1 game and draw 1. On the subject of the team (GM Monkeys), we are featured in the online magazine SquatMagazine I will also, hopefully soon, start creating the official GM Monkeys web site.
