Just watching highlights on BBC. At least Gabby Logan can pronounce Qatar correctly unlike most pundits I’ve heard who pronounce it as a nasal problem.

What would his character be? Micah the Moron sounds about right

I thought last nights game was in an aircon stadium.

Picture of the stadium shows no roof. What happened to the promise of a covered air conditioned stadia for all the games?

The Hake Boat, Wimpey, and the cafe in Littlewoods were all regular places to get my tea before night school in the 60’s. The storey with the salt/sugar brought back a memory where I did exactly the same. Littlewoods had those big glass shakers on each table that looked like the ones on chippy counters, so of course I shook a load of sugar on my chips. Another chippy I liked was Larkhill.

At least one England defender who deserves to be there on merit with his current form is Trippier.

He’s being his normal wimpish self.

Come on Ecuador, I hope they win 10-0

I refer to my post yesterday. The officials have been given their instructions.

A staged picture if ever I saw one. Not an Argentinian fan to be seen.

England 2-1 Iran USA Germany Netherlands Croatia Senegal Argentina France Brazil I never bet on Rovers or England. Always the kiss of death for me.

I’ve just had a look at the WC Prediction thread on here and nobody up to now has picked Qatar to reach the last 8. Obviously they shouldn’t, but given the fact how bent and corrupt this World Cup is, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if FIFA don’t inform the referees to make sure Qatar get through to the quarters.

And we thought a Blatter was bad, this “Little Infant” is a complete knob.

Unfortunately not. The Gentle Giant came second to that bloke with a knot on his head. The Welsh have no sense of history I’m afraid.

I saw that too. An absolute disgrace not to o have Mike in that list. It’s a wonder they didn’t have that no mark Max Boyce in there.

Neymar should never be mentioned alongside some of the previous Brazil greats, he may be gifted in his ability but that is more than spoiled by the fact he is a diving cheat. My greatest Brazil side has to be the 1970 version.

No wonder she threw up watching that rubbish display.

He was hung, drawn and quartered which is not the analogy I want for tomorrow.

Someone tell Mogadon about this.

Your so right and it makes me spit when you see a player with yards of virgin grass in front of him and the pass is made directly to him instead of in front of him. What silly term is this called in the modern coaching manual ?

I know a Championship referee who recently gave the Carrots an extra 10 minutes to score a winner against Rotherham. I just hope it’s not him in the middle for this one. Given the fact he’s from the Preston/Blackpool area he could well be.

I’d prefer “Hearts of Olden Glory” though Mike
