David Pleat Interview

We caught up with David Pleat this week and questioned one of England's most experienced pundits.

Bizarro - David, all of England was bitterly disappointed with the nation’s early exit from the World Cup. Where do you believe it went wrong?
Pleat - I felt England didn't have the right ingredients to make themselves heard on the big stage. They were lacking someone to pick the strings, a bit like that Israeli lad does for Liverpool. Benayoom. Benimoon. Benyiptoon…

Bizarro - Indeed. Looking now at the semi-finals what are your thoughts?

Pleat - There's a little bit of a South American touch about the Spanish and with David Villa arriving at the Spanish capital next season, Abraimovich is going to struggle to get into that side.
Bizarro - What do you think about this German side, they've added flair to their efficiency.
Pleat - I like that lad in the middle Swinelager. Although Popovski will be under the dumps after missing that penalty the other day. That’s not very German but they are still the outstanding side of the tournament so far.  And to think they are doing so well without that lad from Chelsea who got injured. What was his name?
Bizarro - Ballack?

Pleat - There’s no need to be rude!
