    Just think how nice and quiet the roads will be on the few days that we actually manage to stay in :wink:

    I must say, I hadn't realised there were as many as two English players at Man City.

    Fraser Forster? Isn't he the guy who was touted as the next best thing since sliced bread because he had won 2,000 Scottish league titles and then the moment he came up against a team that wasn't as rubbish as every Scottish league team and let in 20 or something and shown to be truly appalling?

    I just heard it being discussed on the telly as I was making a cup of tea. The question asked was is the squad chosen more of a saloon car or a sorts car? The bloke answered "That's a very good question". What? He should have demanded to know what kind of 'kin stupid analogy is that. I don't know very much about the bootiful game, but surely that is a load of bollox.

    In my view, apart from the the brilliant Euro '96, the times when we (England) have played with a bit of a smile on our faces and when we have, perhaps realised our limited potential is when we have had some relatively unknown (outside of our shores) young tyro unfettered by previous tournament "experience" (read pressure) giving it the beans. Gascoigne in '90, Owen in '98, Rooney in '04.

    Very much looking forward to seeing Ross Barkley, Wilshere, Alex OC et al having a go and I hope they get a chance to. I have a very limited expectation but to get to the quarters and then perchance to dream would brighten my summer . . .

    I personally very much looking forward to watching Pirlo boss the midfield like last time and Stevie G heading home in tears to beat up another disc jockey at his local social club.

    I just hope for Engggeeerrrlaaaannndd that they are better against Italy than ;last time - if they get battered again it'll smash their confidence so much that they will lose the remainder of their games even more than they are going to already.

    Ok, they have (generally) put a youthful team together, so fair play, but unfortunately they actually aren't hat good (technically, tactically, savvy, experience), so that's a major stumbling block.

    But unfortunately at the end of each match England (and most of Magaluff) will be suffocating under a sea of puke, broken bottles, kebabs and crying imbeciles.

    At least they won't be speaking French though, so that's ok then.

    Thinking about it, do you think we can get a petition going so that we can get special puke tankers to collect up all the puke and dump it in Alsager, therefore improving not only the smell, look and colour of the aforementioned hell hole but will also improve the locals' cuisine.

    Bally, don't be such a sourpuss. The World Cup is a great chance to drive around with those naff little England flags stuck on your car to wind up (a) Celtic whingers whose teams never made it to the World Cup and (b) lefties who hate the idea of anyone supporting England.

    Bonus points if you can annoy somebody who is both (a) and (b) :wink:

    Looking at that link before I clicked on it I honestly thought that someone was selling girls in knitwear - had me reaching for my wallet containing the wife's credit card without a moment's notice.

    Just one click away from owning that girl in the cream jumper and the black glasses. So near yet so far ...........
