Round up

Quick round up of the weekend's action from our point of view:

Scott Parker didn't play as England failed to hit a cow's arse with a banjo against Macedonia, whilst messers Duff and O'Brien both featured as the Republic of Ireland got hammered by Cyprus.

Elsewhere, old boys Boumsong and Bellamy were both on the wrong end of results against Scotland and Slovakia respectively. Sadly for Bellamy, his dreams of captaining his country turned sour as the Welsh defence leaked five goals.

In other news, Bellamy's one time textual friend Alan Shearer had a penalty saved whilst on a promotional tour of New Zealand. Sadly, the fourteen year old keeper broke his wrist in the process.
