First visit to the new Wembley. Flew to City Airport with George. Stayed at Travelodge. The ''wally with the brolly'' was created. Paid £7.50 for fish and chips. England failed to appear at Euro 2008.

England scorers..Lampard (pen), Crouch

Lampard 56(pen) Crouch 65 Kranjcar 8 Olic 14 Petric 77 England fail to qualify for Euro 2008 by not winning this match. The Wally with a brolly Steve McClaren! England go 2-0 down very early in the match and manage to get back to 2-2. Then Scott Carson makes a howling mistake and England lose 3-2! Someone jumps onto the tube track and this delays fans getting out, it was tipping down and we were soaked, then miss the last train to Portsmouth due to the delay. We get a train to Eastleigh and have to get a taxi home. Not a good day all in all.
