He's probably still limping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my kids will be well up for it, so I’ll know doubt go along for the ride. Euro 2016 runners-up France, let's hope this repeats 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always prefer club football to International football. I may not even watch it because of where it is. I won't get any enthusiasm until it's virtually upon us. This time especially so because of it being there, the clear corruption to get it there, the selling out to money without the faintest footballing pedigree, the fact that it will be in Winter & disrupt the season. But, also because we just know that it'll get hyped up. We'll be told that we have once-in-a-generation players (again), that our opponents, Luxembourg, have surprising resilience. We'll convince ourselves that England can do it this time, we'll eventually blow up like v Italy this year or Croatia 3 years ago. Deep down slightly dreading that, should we win, some of the wankers in the squad will become household names for the next 50 years despite being Grade A twats. That's quite apart from the fans who'll get arrested for an embarrassing array of misdemeanours ... each one with family who'll tell us what a nice chap he us, good to his mother, never taken those drugs in his life, has been fitted up, has a blind wife & dog with herpes. Bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
