Looking forward to the game Sunday. If you offered me the choice of 3 points against Norwich or England win the euro’s. I’d take 3 points against Norwich without hesitation. You go back to when you were a kid and watching England, when you were fully invested. My first ever football shirt was a England shirt & I had a pair of Gazza puma boots. I’m jealous of kids today, who have zero baggage watching this England team. I’ll also be buzzing for my old man, who’s always been a big England football fan. He was 10 in 66 and was probably wondering if he’d ever see the day. He’s sound though, only ever took me to see the reds. 

Completely agree about the bold bit. 
 

I used to quite like watching England. It was a good laugh to go to the pub with my Leeds supporting mates. Then I realised that I didn’t want to be associated with them and the whole thing was just a massive inconvenience.

 

Not fussed who wins on Sunday. I suppose it’d be nice for the country to have something to celebrate after the past 18 months (longer if you include Brexit) and hopefully it’d heal some divisions in the country for a while, but I’m also realise given the way our shitehawk politicians will be all over it and the little Ingurlunders feeling justified in their views, some could dig their heals in the opposite way.

 

I probably would raise a small cheer if Hendo scored.

Was looking for the third-place match; I guess EUFA don't fancy it anymore. 

They have not fancied it since 1980.

Does Southgate realise we’ve been well and truly invaded and settled down the years?

Is the Italian job on the telly this week? The proper one with Michael Caine. I’m sure they always put it on whenever England play Italy.

Haha ITV are putting it on before the match tomorrow.

Ouch, feeling old now. I was 10 in '66. Listened to it on a coach coming home from holiday in Great Yarmouth.

Yeah I  would take 3 points for the reds over England every day of the week. Still would have no issues if England do win, the knob percentage against genuine ordinary followers is quite small and I have never forgotten Inter v Liverpool back in 65.

 He could ask Mancini tomorrow.

I think I heard Channel 4 were showing the whole 1966 World Cup Final for the first time in colour tomorrow as well?

Never realised before that Walker looks like The Engineer.

Him and Slabhead in the defence. That should be enough to frighten any team off.

Well, what'd ya know... a twat, after all.

 

To equate a football match, if nothing else, to situations over a 1000 years where thousands, millions of innocent people have been used as monarchical and governmental cannon fodder in war - these invasions and things in question - is, simply, insensitive and disrespectful fuckwittery of a a very, very high standard.

VAnd there are people I know, like Gordon "Pistonbroke" who will be made up if England win.

 

And my late, great friend, photographer and Chester City legend, Gary Talbot - who died less than a year ago and won't get the chance, sadly, to watch this on Sunday in his "football chair" in Eccleston - will shake God's ceiling deep down to the foundations if England get up on Sunday.

 

 

Invasion talk from fuckwits aside, this is why I'll be happy if England win tomorrow.

For my Evertonian friend, Gary...

 

... who didn't talk about football in terms of war and invasion, but only in terms of playing a game, shaking hands, and having a pint afterwards.

I was lucky enough to do 2 out of those 3 things with him.

RIP Gary.

Go England...

Thousands of American troops had got tickets

When was the last time a European country or club, won it on home soil?

 

France 98?

 

France blew it in 2016.

 

Brazil blew it in 2014.

 

Bayern blew it in 2012.

 

The mancs blew it in 2011 (that was Wembley).

 

Germany blew it in 2006.

 

Portugal blew it in 2004.

Huh? Would have thought it would delight your anti England narrative, why your distaste?

It’s a National Newspaper. Mine is a personal opinion on an Internet forum.

Not really. But who am I to deny you a self- triumphant hand job.
