Well what a goal that was.

I have always said Joe Cole is rubbish. I saw him play for West Ham against Manchester City a good few years ago and he had an abysmal game - I couldn't understand why so many people rated him. And I never saw an improvement at Chelsea either. I've been talking rubbish, the man's a living legend, I'm converted. I'll even stick an England flag on my car for him.

Why no Theo Walcott when Owen went off injured in the first minute? Crouch is on a yellow card so we're risking his participation in the first knockout game by sending him on as a replacement. This would have been the perfect game to send young Theo on and give him some experience, or even a goal if he got lucky. It seems a shame he's missed out - maybe he'll get a chance later on though, with the second half just underway.

As for Amy, sod Top Of The Pops. Popworld is where all the cool kids are at these days in terms of clunky old terrestrial music shows. The BBC are now going to be able to drop the ailing behemoth and focus on nimble, fleet-of-foot broadcasts - from big events like Reading festival to smaller affairs demanding ease of mobility like guerrilla gigs.
