Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good.
In all seriousnous though wtf happened? Shocking from Spurs, I'm sure Mr. King will refer to better sides losing to lesser teams (particularly this case and also Everton) when we lose on saturday.

Tbh Reg, its got me worried. This result tonight, coupled with the fact that none of the other players are showing much (if any) form for club or country, is not good news. Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney and others have looked worryingly out of touch last few weeks for their clubs.......

As long as they are earning enough to keep the mrs happy they couldn't care. Rooney; Gerrard; Lampard; et al, all know that they will automatically be selected despite their form. Therefore there is little incentive to perform. Success alone should be enough incentive (like the England cricket team's fantastic ashes victory) but footballers want to be paid as they will be worshipped by some crazy fools no matter - even if it's in Japan or somewhere daft.

He have had a habit of scraping through by the skin of our teeth in the past (well, since '94 anyway), but i'm feeling less confident with every passing day.... |

I seem to remember a certain Alan Shearer who would always do shit in the qualifying stages but play ace in the competitions. Kind of takes the piss if players can't get motivated in qualifying, especially against the other home countries. Qualifying is never a formality and neither is progression to further rounds in a cup, as Spurs and Inglund have demonstrated.

I'd like you to talk me through this Shearer ace in tournaments but crap in qualifying conjecture. |

Towards the latter stages of his international career, Shearer seemed to be more lethargic (sp?) than in tournaments where he seemed to have more energy. It was around the time the fans were getting on the teams back and probably one of the factors which made him retire. p.s. My memory is spazzed from drinking excessive amounts of alcohol in the past so I could be wrong  |

JOL OUT! :x
Lampard hasn't been playing too bad at all for Chelsea he's already got two goals and loads of assists, he's the 4th highest scoring player on the fantasy football thing we're running and the highest scoring midfielder.
Rooney has been playing alright as well to be honest, only his temper that's the problem.

I recall Shearer turning out in the failed 94 qualifying campaign....playing decent in Euro 96, but not having a qualifying campaign.......scoring v Tunisia in 98 and a pen when we went out to the Argies.....and the winner v Huns in Euro 2000 as we crashed out.....why did Moyes give Phil Neville a 5 year contract?
I think after Euro 2000, he made the right decision to retire.
