For Lefties too Stubborn to Quit
Another bloodless performance from England tonight. Not so Algeria. This story might explain why.
At the insistence of their manager, England’s World Cup opponents prepared for the match against Algeria with a private screening of The Battle of Algiers, Gillo Pontecorvo’s harrowing 1966 film depicting scenes from their country’s war of independence.

What?
Blame the Guardian, EJH. Copied and pasted.
Did’nt Scotland do something similar with Braveheart?
Didnt Jack Charlton play “rebel songs” prior to matches with England
Jack tolerated rebel songs.
For Jack, Gilbert & Sullivan said it all:
In spite of invitations
To belong to other nations
He remained an English man
HE REMAINED AN ENGLISH MAN
Perhaps they should play Gilbert and Sullivan in the dressing room.
“He is the very model of a modern midfield general.”
He is the very model of a modern midfield general.
ejh, I feel a song coming on:
Oh where are you now when we need you
What burns where the flame used to be
Are you gone like the snows of last winter ….
Graeme Souness explains the effects of altitude on the England Squad….
Interesting,something is certainly wrong.I would love to know what the other information that he eludes to is.Souness would not be a lover of England so he’s hardly just making excuses.The plot thickens.
Capello has clearly based his strategy on Maoist military fundamentals. First establish control of the mountainous areas and then surround the cities and then take over the whole shebang. Or is that Guevarist? Must go back over those recent threads again.
Our Trapp, on the other hand, uses the Papal Encyclicals to inform his every move. 2012 is of course a Marian Year of Eucharistic Congress. So Euro 2012 is ours for the taking – with the help of the angels, of course.
“I know a wee bit more than I’m prepared to say here”.
Bah!
Why do you tease us Graeme?
I wouldn’t like to be the DPRK team explaining today’s result to Kim.

Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
