Hope England show more bottle than me and my mate when we went over as young lads , walked past the windows 40 times then went for a takeaway instead
I didn’t know you could take them away. I always thought you had to take them there. Fair play, proper gents. Wining & dining before the 69ing.

Read this yesterday, thought it was a very good piece. The way I recall it we played very well that night and it was as if everything went against us. On the plus side USA 94 was probs the best World Cup of my lifetime, until the last one.
I’ve only just noticed that the Cheating Dutch came 3rd at the last World Cup. I have zero recollection of this. To then not qualify for the 2 subsequent tournaments is a bit of a comedown.
"Can we not knock it?" "Do I not like that..." "It's got to go, son. It's got to go big. It's got to go big!" "Go Les! Hit Les! Hit Les over the top!" "Wrighty? It's made for Wrighty to come on and score, isn't it?" "The referee's got me the sack. Thank him ever so much for that won't you?"
My mate sampled the delights of the red light district in Amsterdam after going without for six months. The lady asked him if he wanted a 'bj'. What kind of question is that? Of course I want a ****ing bj. Who says 'no thanks miss, I rather you didn't'?
Surely it’s different if you’re selling it though? You have to know what the - erm - transaction is. Or do you just pay by the hour or summat? I’ve never dabbled and never would but each to their own.
Watched the ‘94 qualifier in the RN bar in Gibraltar. Rammed full of Matlows, Bootnecks and few of us Bill Oddies. 2 Dutch lads from one of their warships made the ridiculous decision to watch the game in there as well. I recall with great fondness them running for their lives after that second goal went in as beer cans and bottles came at them from every angle. Then chased down the road by a mob of angry Royal Marines. That’ll learn ‘em.
Horrendous wasn’t it? I literally remember nowt except Suarez cheating and winning, the media ****fest over Spain despite them being the dullest, lowest scoring champions in history and ****ing vuvuzailas (sp?).
That Ghana - Uruguay game summed the whole tournament up perfectly. 2014 was lightyears ahead of it. City fans should use vuvuzelas in their protests. Better than whistles.
I was really surprised that was the last time we beat them Euro '96 feels like a life time ago. I watched that match, and all of the others from E96, in a massive sports pub called the Sportsman next to Gloucestershire Cricket ground in Bristol. The atmosphere was amazing and spilled out into the town afterwards. I was absolutely convinced we'd win the tournament after that game. We started slowly then seemed to be building momentum against Scotland then the Dutch before finally winning a penalty shoot out against Spain. Then who do we run into but the Germans..... EDIT: In retrospect we beat an average Scotland side and had one good game against the Dutch what was I thinking......
Yeah Brazil was ****ing brill - ****loads of goals (seem to remember it being ages till there was a 0-0), gazillions of Argies singing that ace song all game every game and Spain getting ****ing smashed. It was a victory for football And the Brazil vs Germany game is probably the most WTF 90 minutes in the history of World Cup football.
