Thrilled to see him get the goal. And Alan Green had to commentate on it - hah. Don't understand why the pundits have such a downer on Bent - maybe because he's a bit more grounded and not "one of the lads"? Even managed to make Capello smile...

I can't understand it either. Superior goal scoring record to Defoe over the last few seasons, scores against better teams and has a better all-round game. What can Defoe do that Benty can't? If we hadn't wasted so much time with Heskey and co over the last few years, we'd be talking about this being Bent's 5th-10th goal for England rather than his first.
made my night - excellent stuff. Makes me laugh though when Heskey played ahead of both Defoe and Bent. How many has he ever scored like that!. And it may even finally dawn on Capeelo that England are better off with just gerrard and no Lampard! Let's hope there are manymore from Benty
I wasn't really paying attention but on Sky I think they said that Bent has missed a few chances like that for England. I'm buggered if I can remember them. He's hardly had a kick in the few times he's been picked before. I thought SWP had screwed his chances by not playing him in but then Gerrard put him through and i knew he was going to stick it away.

If only we included an add on in his transfer fee when we sold him for his first England goal!
You're not wrong.
Low left foot strike to the near post, i felt like i had seen it a dozen times before (in a red shirt and without the silly beard)
What is his problem with Bent?

My god, you mean there's more than one of him???? Better tell ulrika to lock her doors. ;-)
Can't see Spurs paying that seeing as he's at Sunderland now!
No, but his wife would have done...
Because Benty used to play for Charlton, who?
Closer to family.
Don't blame him one little bit!
...but glad Daniel Levy negotiated a nice sell on fee :-)
