i'll make you love me next time we meet, on the sunny side of the street.

life is too busy at the moment for blogs :(
i regret taking both englishes and media.
all i do is write about crap for hours and when i come home, i want to write about something i genuinely care about and i just dont have the energy.

i'll blog when i can.

ps. next saturday can hurry up. me back home, at the emirates. all thats keeping me going.♥

i won't be lonely when i'm down... cos i've got you.

switzerland 1
england 3.

i would bore you with undying love for england, blah blah blah but frankly i haven't got the time. so lets just summarise the match:

tricky few days. just when the pressure has been temporarily lifted, wayne rooney's 'not so private anymore' life was thrust under a spotlight, not for the first time either. now i have no right to sit here and act like i've never made a mistake in my life but he has a duty not only as a role model, but as a husband and a father. it's not really any of our business what he gets up to off a football pitch but its still not nice to think of a member of my national team doing stuff like... that.

on with football matters:
good game, three points were always the aim and we achieved it. not always one way traffic as sky were making out but we stuck to our guns and looked tough to beat. no one looked out of place and no major mistakes were made. a few people critisced joe hart for a few nervy minutes but he did nothing wrong and the swiss goal couldnt have been prevented by many goalkeepers!

well done england, we're always proud of you. maybe as individuals, you make personal mistakes but as a team, you make the whole country smile.

too much, too much is never enough.

and everything's okay again. well kind of.

they said we needed a convincing win and we ended up with a four - nil victory, will this keep the critics off fabio's back for a while? probably not because as soon as we put in one bad performance at the world cup, they were calling for the axe to fall on him. i didn't hear many cries to get rid off the under-performing players because they'd rather see the manager sacked, simply because it's the 'easy option'. to me it's not hard to understand: consistency is key, changing the manager everytme something goes wrong is rarely to the answer to our problems.



so, sorry mate but i couldn't agree less with you

after being depressed by ITV, we were feeling a bit down to tell the truth. danny murphy telling us that fabio won't be successful because he can't speak good english or something like that. oh, i forgot how good your italian was danny. oh you can't speak italian? well next time, don't use that stick to beat him with!

so the game started in front of a three quarter full wembley. i would have done anything to have been there but due to a lack of money, i was made to sat on the sofa hugging my england scarf, with my fingers crossed.

only three minutes in and we were ahead. nice goal by defoe, what a start! to use a cliche that everyone seems to be using last night, it was the 'perfect start'. the rest of the first half wasn't the most attractive football i'd seen but it was positive. no one looked to be having an off and a big boost for the three lions, someone woke wayne rooney up from his three month, deep sleep! he was back, looking sharp as ever and played a big part. it would have been nice if on the 12th june someone had told him that he needed to perform. but i guess its time to look forward to the qualifiers and beyond, and leave the past behind us.

bulgaria threatened rarely and we looked comfortable going into half time. of course, a couple of goals would have steadied us and put the game to bed early but bulgaria are no pushovers, they're no scotland ;)

and then followed the usual half time talk. 'good but we could do better', i've been watching england for years and i don't think that tagline will leave us until we better '66.

the second half starts, pretty much same as the first half, except maybe bulgara look slightly sharper. as if they've had a few stern words shouted at them during the half time interval.

a few minutes later, the crucial moment in the game came. a good, solid stop from joe hart and fifteen seconds later, it was up the opposite end of the pitch, in the net. game won, superb goal, defoe's second but it all started due to joe hart. finally an england keeper who doesnt make us hide behind a cushion when the ball is our half of the pitch, a keeper who always look solid and reliable. something we've been missing since seaman and it's hard not to question why he didn't play a single minute at the world cup. but i did say i wasn't going to reflect on the world cup again, so lets just leave it there.

two late goals from substitute adam johnson, who had looked good for city early on this season and his goal impressed many. and the last goal, a third from defoe, his hat-trick. three good goals and defoe, with the help of his teamates, brought wembley to life.

good win for england, next to switzerland. never an easy place, so as long as we keep calm and stay confident, we can come back with three points.




we are england and impossible is nothing♥
