    Group C looks a breeze for those small bears, so i'm going for them. Plus if they lose they can fire poison darts made from tree frogs.

    Not watching it until the knockout stages. I've found that in the last few comps I'm bored ****less by the final.

    Oh.

    A few huge clues in fairness!

    Not a bad outside bet.

    I listened to a report from Arsenal fans and they had no trouble going over and the locals were surprised that we were expecting it.

    I hope it goes alright.

    Contrary to popular belief we are nowhere near the worst out there.

    We're not by a long way. Most of our mutants are banned anyway. I'll stay at home with a beer.

    Our old ones are in their 50s now anyway.

    Most are not up for fighting a group of 20 year olds.

    Guy who works for us is ex Portsmouth hooligan.

    Nice bloke.

    True. The young ones these days tend to shout and throw things, rather than actually fight though.

    I think England fans will get picked off by Russian tits whether they’re looking for bother or not.

    I just can’t see it ending well.

    Yeah you can see things going very badly.

    Can also see our own press putting the blame on us too.
