The Poolie Bunker

Blokes with brolleys.

Blokes with bags.*

Just so wrong.


* Them man-bag things not sports bags for carrying footie kit.

And a bottle opener on the key ring.

Don't forget that!

To be fair, the worst thing about last night was a total and utter lack of passion. Gutless feckwits how obviously dont give a flying shite about pulling on an England top.

I am not an Ingerland fan but was embarrassed about that performance - how any of them can hold their heads up today is beyond me. Someone on this board said a while back that the way forward is to drop most of the premiersh1te players and get some new blood in from the championship - lads who want to play for a shirt, well that gets my vote. Lampard should never ever be allowed near an Engerland game again, and Bridge - feck, my 14 year old dog plays beter than him and he's got cancer!

Anyhoo - enough of them fools, here to 3 points at Gillingham and a return to form for Pools

I don't believe they don't care, that they're not proud or passionate. Anyone playing at that level is intensely competitive and has their own winning in any circumstance as their first and overriding priority. Each and every one will be hurting this morning.

What is plainly obvious is they're just not good enough both as a team and to a lesser extent as individuals. It's not a lack of pride or passion thats been exposed it's the lack of organisation and ability. Thats the worst thing.

I wanna say I'm sorry for your dog, but I hate em...so....erm.... sorry
you are dead on about Bridge though, he was the worst player I've seen in an England shirt since Carlton Palmer

Its amazing how players like Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney look like world beaters playing for their clubs then look like hungover wife beaters playing for England. Its absoloutely abysmal that they finished behind a team that couldn't beat Israel home or away and scored 1 goal against Andorra the worst team in Europe. Russia and Croatia will do nowt next summer in the Euros, which shows how poor we've been.

Chip uses a Man bag

Word in Walsall is that he keeps condoms in it, which is acceptable.
