The Blog has actually had it’s own Twitter for a while, but until now it just informed you when there was a new article up. Now us England WCBers will actually be logging on, posting links and thoughts we have that are not long enough for a post. Trust me, I have a lot. Some [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the kerfuffle (that’s the technical term) surrounding the Capello Index. Personally I think it’s all a bit silly, if a manager wants to rate his players statistically then let him do it, after all that’s what Wenger’s been doing for the last 14 years. Only more subtlety, the [...]

Even though I have forgiven England, I haven’t quite gotten over the pain of that World Cup exit, and I’m assuming most of you haven’t as well. So, while you’ve probably already seen this (especially if you attended the England-Slovenia liveblog like a good reader) it’s worth watching again. It’s nice to be reminded that [...]

A Mexcian (or some flavour of Hispanic) Correction: Not Mexican, Spanish(?) channel compiled a video of Capello’s many reactions during the Slovenia match. Well really it was just one reaction: unbridled fury. All I have to say is that I feel sorry for Stuart Pearce.

This blog has been getting rather serious lately, which makes sense with the World Cup coming up and all, but I’m going to deviate today. It’s a Friday, the last Friday of the school year, and thinking intelligently really isn’t on my agenda. Luckily for me, whilst browsing News Now, I came across this. In [...]

The big question is why didn’t he wait four years for when the World Cup is actually [...]

Nice idea I saw via the England Team wesbite, run by the charity Keep Your On The Ball, who raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer.
The idea is that age old one – you have to pick your all time England XI. But there are a couple of caveats. First off it has to [...]

It’s hard to ignore the fact that Premier League clubs spent a lot less than usual last summer, and suddenly we have no English teams in the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2003. The two events may or may not be related. If the Premier League is in some sort of decline [...]

So after the Will-he-won’t-he week, Wayne Rooney not only played against Bayern Munich, but started. I watched most of the first half through my fingers for these reasons.
Before half time he seemed to turn awkwardly on his ankle, and limped around quite a bit on it afterwards, though he gave the thumbs up to [...]

Fabio Capello has helped an underachieving England Team actually look like a good side again, but now he’s been tasked with a heavier burden – helping the UK out of the current economic crisis.
Basically it works like this – the longer England are in the World Cup, the more people buy useless stuff they [...]
