Luxury compared to England 0-0 Nigeria in 2002. Bad enough watching a pointless, goalless, tepid excuse for a football match but to get up at around six in the morning and hear John Motson's breakfast bollocks took the cake all for the sake of watching World Cup football because it was there! Strange really, International football really is the best and worst of the "Beautiful Game". Because on the opposite side of the spectrum we have the cream of the crop, top of the tops, 100%, 24-carat gold stone cold classic that was Spain 4-3 Yugoslavia in Euro 2000...

Ha! That's me rushing it again...

The Mirror are the new Daily Mail in the "how the fuck do they give an obit for that!" stakes...

Surely that's it for Arsene Wenger. the Penelope Pitstop of football?
