I have been in my current job for 3 years and haven't been sick once yet, so I'm tempted. I've actually held throwing a sickie in reserve until I have a really good reason.

Might have to remind them of that. Thing is, they've been pretty good whenever Rupert Murdoch and the PL have ****ed with the fixture list and I've had to do last minute swaps etc to get to Saints games. Plus I have elderly parents and may need time off at short notice.

Don't want to blow the goodwill. But this game is ****ing massive...

Save your sickie for Monday 16th July.... you’ll need it.

Well they lost to Japan, so maybe not. Looked pretty good against Poland though.

I've seen a lot of people talking them up and I'm not convinced they are as good as what is being made out. I agree it won't be an easy game but if we can't beat Colombia then it will be a massive anti climax.

I believe we will win and I think it will be quite comfortable. [HASHTAG]#itscominghome[/HASHTAG]

I'm expecting the first 20 of Tunisia again. Hard and fast, grab a goal. Then the trouble will start. Game management under extreme pressure. Pickford palming everything ten yards straight. When Falcoa grabs the equiliser, we will have so little left in the tank, the last 20 minutes of the game will be a blur of them misses the chances that we don't deal with.
We won't lose on penalties though, they will put us to the sword in ET.

Its (we're) coming home
 
ITV are just doing it on purpose now, putting Billic and O'Neill next to each other.

I'm sure I've seen them and their uncomfortable relationship on tv before too. I don't know why they keep getting paired up when they clearly don't like each other and rub each other up the wrong way.
