As for Crouch, his goals-per-game ratio for England is better than Shearer's.

Strikers is my case in point. where are the England goals going to come from. Peter Crouch for gods sake!Since Alan Shearer left, he was good not great, we have been devoid of talent upfront. The reason of course is that there is too much money in premiership football, they are so rich that they can shop all over the world for the best talent which means home grown players dont get the opportunity they need to develop.

Although the latter does out-stupid the other one on name spelling. 2) Fraser, I regard the FA's refusal to consider your application/advice as further evidence of their terminal stupidity. 3) If those overpaid, dimwitted fools don't start winning, my finances are going to take another tumble. I used to enjoy watching the game with Him Indoors - now I have to go out and spank the credit card just to get over the stress of it. Not to mention the price of manicures after another 90 minutes of biting down to the quick. A few things in response:

Not a sausage from the suits at Lancaster Gate when I suggested replacing Wembley's fabled Twin Towers with 300-foot statues of Brave Kylie Minogue and her wonky-faced sister Dannii. No wonder the English game's in such a mess. I’ve come to expect that from the FA.
