England Expects…

It’s hard work following England. The press builds them up into world beaters then the buggers only go and let you down on the field time and time again…

If my relationship with England was a marriage it would be so abusive and one-sided with me giving them support and them giving nothing back that no divorce lawyer in the country would defend the object of my affections and loyalty when it came to a split. Even if they were offered loads of cash.

Take today’s game against Portugal. In a World Cup populated by largely mediocre teams, England had a genuine chance to win the sodding thing. The whole thing too. And properly. Like outright. And I believed in them yet again.

But the so-called ‘golden generation’ didn’t get gold and now won’t even be in the fight for bronze.

Basically lots of big names with bigger salaries didn’t live up to their billing and the nation mourns yet another glorious defeat. And as for the Manchester United thug who was sent off for committing an assault that would have got him arrested if it had happened on the street… How galling is that?

But if the country pins its hopes to a brutish retard what do you expect.
