Terry still looks as though his head is elsewhere. He was poor in the first half.

Ingerland will be fooked versus Egypt. I can't think of any centre backs on form or fit ATM.

Wasn't sure on Jose's subs. I'd have took Milito off for Pandev and let Eto'o lead the line for the latter stages. Milito is a quality player, wanted us to get him a few years ago when Zaragoza went down. I'll be very surprised if he, Samuel and Cambiasso don't go to the WC, but anything is possible with Diego.

Adebayor's sending off looked very harsh to me but it was Steve "look at me" Bennett so nothing surprises me there.
Looks like Mancini is fitting in nicely at City though, claiming that they thoroughly deserved to win the game - the lying get!!
Plus he promised to win the FA Cup after their sembo defeat to Nited - another lie!!

So Rio Turdinhand is out of the Egypt game injured, I think they should give the captaincy to John Terry hes certainly got the experience

Did he? I must have missed that.

I wouldnt say that we deserved to win the game, but we should have won it. We were well on top for the first 30mins but let Stoke get back into it and then take control.

Mancini's problem at the moment is that he's trying to play solid, defensive football but isnt getting the results. Not a good recipe for survival in management. Its traditional Italian football but without the counter attacking threat. Once we'd established superiority last night we should have gone on to dominate the game, instead we became ever more cautious.

They were fantastic.

The Niti, he is finished.

He's head is still on that beach in Dubai or wherever he went to grovel. He's been abit sh.itter since he came back.

Bridge has quit England.

He'd been playing much better since he reurned from injury, but had a stinker yesterday. Might have had something to do with this impending announcement.

Wayne Bridge is only in the squad to start with because his reputation became unfairly promoted by playing for Chelsea.

Leighton Baines is better than him and hopefully now they'll see sense and call him up rather than going for someone like Lescott or Shorey.

Another player who is playing out of his skin at the moment but who won't be picked because his commercial personna isn't big enough is Leon Osman. He's been outstanding recently.

Bridge should never have been picked again after his total mare against Croatia a few years back
