What have the FA ever given Charlton? Yes F.A. I have been so annoyed today. I truly can't believe that Benty is not even on the standby list. It is astonishing.

"I've seen him perhaps three times in training and (at Arsenal on) Saturday I saw him play 11 against 11 on a half pitch." Fuckin' whoppee-doo! Absolutely outrageous.

You know what? We have been absolutely shafted by the FA this season. First of all they get Danny Murphy all lathered up for nothing. He throws a sulk and declares that he has to leave to get International football (that's a laugh), this leads to our season going to pot.

Then the FA make appointing a new manager into a complete farce, interviewing Curbishley, getting caught by the newspapers, telling the world. He, O'Neill or Big Sam come to think of it were never going to get the job and as Curbs has often said the whole tawdry process was a complete distraction.

And now the final kick in the balls. The Swedish tosser leaves Benty out of the England squad and prefers Hargreaves and Jenas to another striker, despite chosing one who has not played for three months and one who might not play for the next three months, one who has never played and a bloke who has scored 71 goals in 270 appearances. And then to really kick us when we are down he selects the 6th best striker in the Championship as standby. What about Marlon King? Instead of watching Arsenal train, maybe Eriksson should have been at the 1st leg of the play-off on Saturday.  ¶ 20:30
