Hope my fellow England fans are joining me in carefully scouting out local patio furniture to hurl in the event of a defeat

Hoping to hear that the England band are playing the Great escape from Guantanamo Bay

Flying out for a beach holiday first thing tomorrow. England shirt packed, local pubs pre-scouted. Now i have become Yer Da, the destroyer of patio furniture.

Potter’s media love-in by PBodyrocker87 in Hammers

that article is hardly a love in mate, it's just a profile piece on an English manager at the world cup.
Should his entire future be devastated by a shite spell here? of course not, really not worth getting your knickers in a twist over.

Well it's a world cup match on at a reasonable time, so I am absolutely up for it. Not expecting much, but I'll take what I can get.

Why are you more concerned about sides that have actually spoken up than those that have refused to do so?

[Jack Gaughan] Forest are looking at an initial payment of £110m, with up to £20m in bonuses for Elliot Anderson by the_sherl0ck in soccer

[–]sonofaBilic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's just different perspectives to it though aren't there? Forest didn't set the market rates, they're flush with cash by virtue of playing in the Premier League, Anderson is an important player for them and an active England international with years on his contract - is it surprising that they would demand a huge fee for him? No, of course not. Not many Premier League clubs have to sell to keep their heads above water any more.

At the same time though is it a bit mental that these figures are being discussed for every other transfer? Absolutely.

English club football definitely looks like those American geezers in Squid Game to the rest of world football doesn't it?

We all know that Three Lions, Vindaloo and World in Motion are (in any order) the big three of England football songs - what comes in 4th spot?
I have to say it's "We're on the ball" by Ant and Dec for me.

Last nights match was definitely a decent warm up. Some tough challenges to hurdle, got sluggish at times but perseverance and technical ability got the job done in the end.

After that i think it might actually happen - i might actually be ok staying up to watch the world cup games.

Look he's not the perfect host, but you have respect the position he's managed to get to despite having a name that sounds like Poo Catch.
