Grand Prix finished.
Hamilton blew it!
Did Button do okay? Seventh. His lead is 18 points, right?
West Ham take the lead through Carlton Cole but his England striking partner Defoe ties it up!
Got the link from Upton Park up and running again
That was the best he could hope for . At least the two Red Bulls didn't score .England need another one to make it safer . I'll try to join in as much as I can . I'm hungry and need to go eat .
THat was a great five minutes of England
Australia were going for the win! Surely they can't now!
Now I have lost my cricket link
West Ham ask for a penalty... not given
Now I have lost both links!!
What is up with my links today!!
30 minutes to go at West Ham
What's with the links ? Are you golfing ?
Didn't see it but here is the description of Defoe's equalizer. Are you watch Fab?
From the Beeb
"That is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen on a football pitch. Carlton Cole receives the ball in midfield and plays a perfect through-ball for Jermain Defoe, who takes a touch and wellies the ball past a bemused Rob Green. That's the Jermain Defoe who plays for the opposition. Cole is aghast."
Ross Brawn was being interviewed on the BBC and all he wanted to know was the cricket score .
Boom boom Basil Brush!!
Freddie ready to have a bowl
Burnley off the crossbar early.
