this wud b so against what the england team has done to lift the spirit of the country that im suprised that any1 wud suggest this due to respect of beckham n crew.

Although i know this is a total mickey take but watching cage get hit by poisoned studs wud b very funny but i think that we shud respect the fact that we beat em 5 1 and that we shud lol @them wen eva we see a german


dont make stupid suggestions about films that oviously arent going to happen and definatly if they take away our glory due to our stunning victory against the crots
