The inimitable 'Valiantitus of the old Two View site has long since left us. 'He' was an entity of pure genius and below, I have put his description of the England v Greece game which saw us qualify for the World Cup. IMHO, this was his finest work. If you can understand it, enjoy!
"it is was and a game of greatness
of important happenings with so much to go from and places to go i it was
england vs greece and it was but not as many people thought it would turn out it
did the way that it went but Old trafford sixty thosand people together as one
though some say it could of been more but it they came out always a strange
tunnel in the corner but boom god save the queen faithful and triumfant
victorious long and faithful god save the queen they sung even beckham and then
it kicked off and once again we watched it in the living room no problems no
touch of frost this time to hold things back but it was saturday not wednesday
night like last time and a day time kick off as nothing is on tv saturday
afternoons maybe war films with soldiers but it was england match of the day me
carl and step dad all around the table and monopoly but all eyes on england and
eyes on motson who could not be seen but focused and kick off and it was ready
it was england but it was like them but it was not right not like germany and
carl said maybe it was a one off then but it was england struggling like at
newcastle it was hard and greek were fast and strong and going totally awag with
outfield football ability and made england look like chesterfield but it was
they were on top which is never right and never good to watch england playing
like chesterfield all over the place and greece throwing everything chance after
chance england no answer and no attacks scholes and gerrard going awag in a bad
way in the middle of the park which is never a good sign we started with the
Monopoly again from last night but the game was still left to be played and i am
the tophat carl is the car and my step dad the boat and i own the gas works but
it was harry selars for greek bang boom cross shot well struck greece goal
explosion go directly to jail land on park lane at the same time which carl then
bought but it was england madness and the bull fighters had taken the lead and
then nothing better from england it was half time not looking good as i went for
a ghost poo not using any paper to wipe which was lucky
then the second half happened they came
out attacking a goal surrounded by england fans but it was the same as before
only a different direction but it was all england behind both goals the greeks i
do not now maybe well hidden we had chicken and chips to eat in between but no
gravey then both England and monopoly kicked off again move past go two hundred
fake pounds please as barmby went off who was poor on the left wing first half
but on came cole who is rubbish at times but good but can be poor but did well
and got the defence of the greeks in a muddle and cole behind power shot well
saved but still mixed from england and all playing badly but appart from beckham
who is he was is everywhere doing everyones job but only him and martin in goals
are doing us proud then it happened on comes sheringham on he comes as sub off
goes someone maybe fowler i cant remeber as i was buying hotels on regent street
at the time but then corner ball down the left beckham crosses sheringham power
bounce header boom bang goal england score and it was is 1-1 sheringham only on
the pitch 2 seconds maybe less but first touch england are level immense old
trafford ground explosion and i buy a house on old kent road
it is it now england are back and are
looking to destroy the bull fighters but then with the crowd building up in to
an awag volume exposion it was greeks again the minute later keown or ferdanand
falls over slip slide gentle placement goal in to the corner 1-2 and carl throws
the momopoly comunity chest across the room in temper cards go everywhere so
much is shattered what now england let slip no way back but just like vale
always hope and germany still being held by finland at home stay like this and
england do go out but it will not happen more subs made macamanaman on for ash
cole going all attack now and a couple of good chances but now only 5 minutes
left of normal ref time greek goalkeeping man having total blinder nothing goes
in just like goodlad when on form but it keeps going and england need it bad
injury time added four minutes as carl wins monopoly building hotels on the gas
works does not count but it is england moving forward 2 minutes left attacks
more foiled again last minute of injury time arrives sheringham wins free kick
30 yards out but who to take beckham or gerrard but it is beckham had so many
free kicks that after noon all not good but this one he can do it needs
something special like brammer or mills about him from a dead ball situation
steps up englands last hope smack bang boom curl bending goal dipping power goal
explosion top corner AWAG not BROOKER but BECKHAM 2-2 as Old Trafford rose as
one last minute and it is ultimate awag at its best and it is germany draw held
no goals at home to finland or poland can not remember all a blur but it was
BECKHAM pure magic dream free kick dipping goal explosion crowd explosion
england pubs explosion birches head explosion all over the country AWAG
EXPLOSION as England make the world cup somewhere next year and we had some tea
to celebrate and will play monopoly again later
England Player ratings
Nigel Martin 8 (Englands best player who played in goal today for
england and made some good saves to stop nasty bad things happening and becoming
real)
Gary Neville 6 (it was neville he is not great but can be good in a
good way but today he did get forward but not at his best which is
rare anyway but he was there is no one better which is a shame at right back)
Ashley Cole 6 (not special but it he i mean is a good one for future
events is ok but could of done better but let people get in behind
which is never good)
Martin Keown 6 (old now but still has a brain in his head inside his
skull which is in his head but he is old now)
Rio Ferdanand 6 (lots of talent a bit like michael walsh at vale but ferdanad is
to cocky)
Steven Gerrard 5 (poor and not good i said before alcohol plays havoc with my
tail maybe it was him drinking in mid week that affected his preformance i just
do not now but he was poor)
David BECKHAM 10 (all were poor today outfield but BECKHAM was there doing
things like a combination of Bridge Wilkinson Brammer and Naylor everywhere
doing so much made a goal scored a goal)
Paul Scholes 5 (not he was not good he was bad had a volley well saved in the
box but not good a passanger and kept not finding players in england shirts with
his short passes)
Robbie Fowler 5 (did not go and do what it was it what the people said and score
goals does things but is a poacher not enough hard work and things but a bit of
an anigmer if truth be told)
Emile Heskey 6 (does things and is strong can be good but is not good at other
times needs to do better more often like germany)
Nick Barnby 5 (not good but he can be but yet another who did not do well and
did not link up i do not now)
subs
Teddy Sheringham 8 (sent the crowd in to pre awag moment of joy with a goal but
was cut short but did well other wise)
Steve Macamanaman 6 (not much to make an impact but did not make as many mistake
as in the last game for England at Newcastle)"
The end.
