Use the large ones as a tablecloth!
After England’s departure from the World cup, there are now millions of St.Georges flags out there which will no doubt be either trashed, torn to pieces, jumped up and down on by angry fans or just tucked away neatly for the Euro 2008 qualifiers which begin later this year.
The BBC have collated idea’s from its readers on exactly what fans could do with all those unwanted flags. I read it this morning and found it quite hilarious anyway, it certainly gave me a smile first thing in the morning!
10 Uses for an unwanted England Flag
We’ve been here before haven’t we?
The whole nation right now is feeling down in the gutter after witnessing one of the most nail biting performances that this world cup could have produced. Portugal were the opposition, managed by Luiz Scolari an old nemesis to the England squad.
To sum things up, England outplayed them to some extent but couldn’t get the ball in the net. Tactics were poor throughout the tournament thanks to our manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. Having one player, the awesome young Wayne Rooney upfront was a crucial mistake. If you’re to have a player up front going solo, feed him with a supply of good passes for crying out loud. He looked so alone and confused out there which will no doubt lead to frustration later on.
Frank Lampard missed a host of chances, which is what he’s done throughout the entire tournament so far, he’s been a total waste of space. The team fell apart after Wayne Rooney was sent off after some nice instigation from fellow Man Utd team mate Christiano Ronaldo who had no right coming up to the ref to interfere the way he did when his team mate was tackled - he knew
Wayne would lose his temper since he was already frustrated.
We have had years to prepare a team capable of taking the best in the world and yet we can’t even put out a world class performance when it matters. Throughout this entire tournament we’ve relied on nothing but luck and the odd goal here and there. Every time we play a team that has a major bit of skill, England just fail to cope with it and fall flat on their faces. We’ve got the most powerful side I’ve ever seen - on paper, but down on the field that side just fail to gel together and the blame can only be pointed at our shambolic manager in this case - Sven.
Why can’t we have skilled players like every other country out there? Because our British Premiership clubs are too busy focusing on poaching overseas talent instead of looking at home grown talent - there’s a thousand Wayne Rooney’s, A.Lennons and O.Hargreaves out there, its just sad they’ll be overlooked and ignored and until someone realises this, England will never ever have a world cup winning squad.
My man of the match? Owen Hargreaves, he was like a steam engine on an endless powertrip. He won tackle after tackle and never ran out of steam. Top man
High! Not updated things in a while, mostly due to being occupied with the World Cup taking up almost all my time, as well as me about to become an uncle, along with work/promotion matters getting in my way. This week has been more then hectic!
The Uk has been gripped by World Cup fever, as has every other country I can surmise, except England, despite having a good team on paper just haven’t gelled together as well as everyone had hoped. So far they’ve yet to put on a solid performance to raise everyone’s spirits over here. The pathetic recent second half performance against Sweden which saw them pile 3mins of solid pressure during the last few minutes of the game showed how poor and disorganised the England squad were as they let in a goal to bring the game into a 2-2 draw. To add to the misery someone stole the two St.Georges flags on my fathers new car so he’s angry…very angry, infact you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
The weather over here can only be described as ludicrous of late. It’s hot as hell most of the time, and I’ve got a tan…which makes me even more browner then I already am. Things became so absurd that the road surface in some areas of my town of Harrow began to melt, which resulted in half the town being closed off for a few days. I ended up jumping off the bus to walk home and instead stepped into a patch of melted tar on the road 
Yesterday, my new Altec Lansing FX6021’s arrived. I’d slightly made a balls up because I underestimated how large the satellites would be! These things are so tall that they dwarf my 20" LCD! They sound incredible though, thanks to three amplifiers powering three pairs of drivers in each satellite. It’s InConcert technology is stunning and the audio is so loud, clean and feels so tight!
Just to conclude my quick bit of babble, after recently being promoted at work again, I received my new paycheck yesterday…all I can say is ‘life feels good!’
