Half-time and we have a job half done - England scored in the first three minutes . Another in the second half would consolidate things a tad . Another 45 minutes and we make history.

We fell at the last hurdle—- penalty shoot out —- could be another 55 years before we win— BOTHER !
Amazing to me how a footballer who can command £350,000 per week can’t score a penalty ??/
It‘s not rocket science— put a keeper between the sticks —- a football , 11metres [12yards] in front of him. Opponent runs up to the ball——-kicks it past the keeper and into the net——SIMPLES ????
not one , but three of the buggers missed!
Weekly Wages bill for the three collectively is ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING. I wouldn‘t pay ‚em in penny washers !!!!!!!!!!
I dont think i am being unreasonable to have expected more ??
Fact is— we had our best players left on the bench. Southgate called it wrong. brilliant squad, just mismanaged. What a dingleberry.
Week can only get better!!!!!!!
what do you expect from a sport where they used to keep the spectators in a cage?Quote:

Had a steller day yesterday, as i do only sometimes !!!
Was determined to crack on with the „“THREE MERTS“ —— EACH ONE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!
Started with one then decided i“ could do better“.
Then i thought i could do betteR STILL - hence the three renditions of the same concept.
GOOD—-FECKIN GOOD —- AND ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
Should get them done by the weekend——- if i do, i will post a piccy or two.
My particular favourite is the one in the trailer. From original pictures that show BILL ALLEN yanking the starter cord while standing in the garden shed on wheels —-that housed the MERT!!!
Just had to do a simple triple axle —- all aluminium box trailer, [just to show how little Mercury spent on their fleet of trailers]. PLUS I KNOW IT WILL MAKE BUTLER CHUCKLE !!!
the past predicts the future in many cases, we learn from the past.Quote:

Hollywood would like us to believe „“past predicts the future „“—- i stick by my original statement .
