England hit woeful Andorra for six

Well I don't know what was more painful. Watching Andorra haplessly trying to get out of their own half or Peter Crouch's performance tonight. Both made for pretty woeful viewing anyway but atleast Crouchey found the back of the net eventually, however hard he was trying not to throughout tonight's encounter (if you can call it that)!

Jimmy Greaves hit the nail on the head at half-time. This lot are probably the worst international side around. My Saturday team would have probably given England a better game.


Anyway to summarise, Glen Johnson put in a decent performance at right-back with three assists and Wayne Rooney continued his purple patch in front of goal with a brace.

Theo Walcott ran down many a blind alley but you can't question his commitment and desire. In all fairness the commitment and desire was there from each and every England player tonight but we just lacked a ruthlessness infront of goal. A strange statement when you consider we scored six times but I'm sure you would agree with me.

Add a Frank Lampard goal and a couple from Jermain Defoe and England find themselves 10 points clear at the top of their Group Six World Cup qualification group.

South Africa awaits and you never know...

Wembley Stadium Tour

Nicola, my fiancee, arranged for us to visit the home of English football, Wembley Stadium, to carry out the Stadium tour!

I'm not usually too big on doing these sort of things but it really was a thoroughly enjoyable 90 minutes!

So without further ado, rather than describe the day in words please see below for some pictures from the experience and feel free to comment!

Fantastic view!
