Appalling - the country deserved better from the stadium and the crowd last night deserved better of their team. And don't even get me started on state of the pitch...

And don’t even get me started on state of the pitch…

I was there and it was awful. In the pouring rain England were outplayed and out-thought, their Euro dream washed away and with it my football holiday to Austria/Switzerland in the summer of 2008. Bloody morons! I have been to dozens of new stadiums around the world so I was really looking forward to my first experience at the new Wembley Stadi [...] […] Check it out!

The team was pathetic, so bad! Finally the argument should be put to bed, Lampard and Gerard cannot f*cking play together!!!!

You asked a simple question regarding its construction. There are quite a few problems in imagining that the work was aided by the use of a huge earthen mound not least of which is the absolute accuracy of the centreline at the base (generally on the inner face) of the stones in respect of the prehistoric surveyors original markers Each stone is set precisely in place to around 5cms, the centres than had to relate to the positions of the carefully jointed sections of the lintels. You are right however in saying that they were dropped into holes; these were simply foundations, the deepest of which are cut 2.5m into the chalk, the holes had a vertical face on one side only (notice that the stones also only have one relatively flat surface, this placed inwards (except for the two uprights of the Great Trilithon, which were designed to faced out, towards the midwinter sunset). Raising the lintels was no problem, some guys in the Czech Republic quite recently did an experiment with wooden poles and ropes, they proved it wasn’t difficult at all. All too much to explain here, but if you look at this site: www.thamesandhudsonusa.com/new/spring08/505155.htm the answers to most of your questions will hopefully be resolved. Sorry if this looks like an ad, but there is too much to explain here, if you ever get hold of a copy I will sign it for you. Very best wishes, Tony Johnson Keble College, Oxford HI David
