Match Day Thread England vs Iceland 8pm 27 June

Ok, so I've been in Scotland and in now at Glasgow airport waiting flight back.

Thanks Roy, great timing. What a fliipin' time to walk into Scottish customers two days after that debacle.

The stick I have had, anyone would think I was a gobby Englishman......


.


I was quite cool though. Took all the stick each meeting and then when they'd finished, I just said, "I thought your referee did well."

 

Did you bother to defend anything they suggested.?

 

No. I laughed with them.

 

Wise.

 

1. They were customers (one related to whisky industry)

2. They looked harder than me... Including the lady!

 

We'll stick with the wise appraisal, even if it was the obvious thing for you to do.

 

It's just the English way....self-deprecating and silently superior

 

Bobby Charlton was asked how he thought the England team of '66 would have fared against Iceland. " I think we'd have won 1-0 " he replied. "Only 1-0?" Said the reporter. "Yes," said Bobby. "Most of us are in our 70's now

 

V/good.

 

Yep, very sensible, Southgate. He's gone up in my estimation.

Time to give Sam Allardyce his long held wish. Sorry Sunderland fans, I know that's being really ****ty of me.

 

But do England need just another sticking plaster....what about a new long term plan?

 

Exactly what we need.

 

UNBELIEVABLE HAS ANY ONE SEEN THIS YET!?
England Chiefs have noticed that Iceland have fielded an ineligible player for the last 2 games, which means they could actually be disqualified, and that could put England back in the Euro cup. Check it out on the BBC website. It's right. England appealed to Uefa only 25 mins ago. If their claim is upheld it will mean they are through to the last few, + could actually be on their way to be champions!!

Carlsberg don't do whimsical stories for delusional English dreamers who STILL think they can win everything. But if they did... this would probably have been the best story in the world.

 

Thanks, flt, love that!

 

I thought you would.

See, I can be a sport. A reluctant one, but a sport!

 

I can understand the Welsh team enjoying the England defeat, I just can't understand why the video was posted!

 

Isn't it misleading mainly because of many of the teams he's scored against? All this "winning all 10 qualification games" smugness was pretty meaningless considering the teams that England played but no-one wanted to hear that at the time.

 

So, maybe Gareth Bale's tongue wasn't quite in his cheek when he said that none of the England players would get into the Wales team...

I know that my enjoyment will probably end on Friday but I have to have my fun when I can

 

That quote, along with others were made up by a troll, who made jpeg images of them and attributed them to Iceland's Kari Arnason.
