The fallout has continued. What a week it has been! I never realised I was such a vital cog in the English football machine.

Well, well, well. Robbo and Brownie have quit England. I am hardly surprised. It is next to impossible to motivate yourself to play for England now that its biggest name has gracefully retired after a glittering career (I am talking about me). I remember when I got my first call-up thinking how there were no [...]

Well, what an honour! I worked really hard in South Africa, not only during the last month, but in the years after I announced the World Cup would indeed be coming to Africa.
