Zidane and Freddie Ljungberg give a lot of ladies the hots but they both look too hard and somewhat mean to me.

However, Mr Tyldesley used his favourite word "ironic" twice, and "irony" once. In all cases, inappropriately. If only there had been another count of stupidity that I could have thought of, it may have made the evening interesting. I switched over to the BBC at the intervals to avoid Venables. You are right about O'Neill, but it is time everyone recognised that everything there is to say about a football match can be said in two minutes. Or, if you are as insightful as Mr Shearer, in less than one second.Vicus Scurrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731007799031343701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-1152478216348215132006-07-09T21:50:00.000+01:002006-07-09T21:50:00.000+01:00Oh well, France deserved that one.

But of course we're kicking racism out of football, aren't we? I know I've got no proof but it was a fucking good header by Zidane if I'm right.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340519450159428760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16460150.post-1152460322779912032006-07-09T16:52:00.000+01:002006-07-09T16:52:00.000+01:00"Fritaly."
