"Prod" said "I was knocking on the door of the school choir" in a singing test. Fortunately I was never called up. Imagine having to sing instead of play footy at lunch times?

It isn't. It's average, with an average manager I've been watching England for 60 years. England always fail https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/aug/09/why-england-lose-simon-kuper

Didn't do us much good at Euro 96 - another one we "should" have won but screwed up again

An invitation to lose money. Do the opposite

Why are England favourites and who made them favourites? We've reached one (and won) major final in our entire history. England will and always will be favourites to fail

England finish just 8 short thanks a brilliant effort by Sam Curran. Another series loss though

Are we managing to keep Albania out?

England made a hash of it at 223-7 but it's not impossible from here at a little over a run a ball Just need to play sensibly with proper cricket shots. No need to take risks

Jerasulem's a bit cliched and was done to death in Chariots of Fire and similar, but I'd accept it I'd much prefer Land of Hope and Glory...... it's upbeat and rousing and the words would annoy the other home countries, and the rest of the world. It'd even beat the Russian national anthem, which is my favourite of all Anything other than our present dirge

Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory is far superior to the dirgy GSTQ, more upbeat and a better celebration of "Englishness". Elgar was a football fan too - a Wolves supporter - which makes it perfect for the England football team

Staggering. Thomson received an absolute discharge after paying four shillings (20 pence) for court costs. Death by dangerous driving is a jailable offence now. Both he and Dougan would probably have ended up behind bars these days

I always understood Dougan asked for a transfer on the morning of the final, but that may be a story that got embellished over the years. Never saw him play for Rovers but he was an excellent centre forward for Wolves 10 years later in partnership with John Richards.

Looking at a huge target here ..... could be 330 plus

And another one.... Frank Worthington, what a superb player, a maverick like Bowles, Currie etc. Was about to sign for Liverpool from Huddersfield but failed the medical... high blood pressure no doubt caused by his "social" activities. It was Liverpool's loss and England's ..... no doubt he would have won alot more caps at a high-profile club.

Good player Peter Lorimer. Another of the Leeds greats gone, there can’t be many left now

Look on the bright side Within 36 hours Rovers will have been crushed, Mowbray will have resigned, and Chris Wilder appointed.

Billy Wilson, Keith Newton and Ronnie Clayton "in the trenches" as Rovers prepare to face Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park in March 1966. Presume this was the FA Cup match which we lost?

Barnsley now 9 wins out of 10....... 27 points out of 30. January signing Darryl Dike, a 20-year-old from the US, is their star. How did our world-beating scouting system miss him?

That was excruciating to watch. Both teams could have played till midnight and neither would have scored. I'm sick of this pseudo-Barcelona / Pep obsession with passing. Bring back 2 wingers and an old fashioned centre forward!

As an exercise in passing, it's been great. Don't they realise the idea is to score goals?

77 minutes that would have been better spent looking at my stamp collection

Has the Brizzle keeper made a save yet?

Actually fell asleep for 5 minutes. At the time, we were passing it around in our own half; when I woke up we were still passing it around in our own half

Lots of possession but it never amounts to much. Flattering to deceive as always.

Kathleen Harrison. Died at the age of 103 in 1995, obviously waited for us to win the title
