Well, er, we were relegated that season?

Yeah, insurers and football clubs, selling football season tickets: get the money in first, whilst promising/hinting we'll be buying x, y and Andre Gray, then rock up at Sheffield Wednesday and fall apart. It's a racket ...

You just making this up, Dave, or do you actually know the rules (ok, ok: the laws)?

Ok mate, but don't let it happen again. Otherwise, we'll have to start going to these bleedin away games miles away up North ourselves, and who wants to do that? what are we, Fewers? else we won't know wtf happened. Or be forced to listen to Radio Local.

Some of us are visited by angels, some of us just know a bloke that knows a bloke that locks up the HPC at night ....

No, no. France just knew Kane would "Tomlin" it into the stand. It's what comes with being France or whatever the fella wrote

He made a run into the box, have another 20 caps. The French lad did the rest. Me and you could (still, just about) do what Mount did there. When Mount had the ball 25 yards out and needed to hit it, with everything right, his momentum, his central position etc he hit it like a bobbins Championship or L1 player. Mount is Southgate on the pitch. No opponent worries about facing Mason bloody Mount. Not having a pop at you, Fevs, just singling Mount out for some flak!

It's all arranged. At the final, Messi, Modric and a tearful, but wise, Ronaldo, will enter the stadium on camels, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and Budweiser, following a bright, Iranian drone light way up in the desert sky, France will triumph and the Three Old Gits will crown Mbappe King of Football, as they are showered by a ticer tape shower of a billion dirty dollar bills. Putin will then have every non-Russian boy in the world slaughtered so they have half a chance of qualifying, and 3,000 Gas will be locked out of the final, with Gianni Infantino telling them to **** off back to League One.

But if the ref himself gives the foul on Saka, or the clear foul on Kane, from behind, in the box, it's a different game. England were done by the ref, not by var

Exactly as it should be. Enjoy

Got yer tree up yet?

Dark n Long from itv, nice

Nor brought Bobby Charlton off, in Guadalajara

Good player, never a penalty taker. For me.

Nah, Englund fer me, mate

Did we get a pen in that game? Oh, silly question. ...

Alan Shearer said after full time "the referee's making it difficult for the players,"

Of course. Ok, right. Flog 'em over the 12 days of mindless consumerism, then let them fly off to Dubai/Shanghai/Australasia for three weeks of their precious rest/lucrative friendlies.

If they must, but would be loathe to lose the Christmas programme, a big part of our football, and sporting, culture. Let them rest in early December, so we can then have them playing five games in nine days (or whatever it is) over the holiday season. It's all up in the air and up for grabs now though, now that the club season has been interrupted by a World Cup.

Strictly?

All look the same, these .....

Koreans at Goodison Park?

He's put me off, I don't fancy going all that if it's going to be cold (brrrr-rrr)

.... and some Dutch style pass n movery
