    The documentary with the forest fights to see if you make the grade to join the Russian firms was ****ing mad. Good watch but all it did was tell me to stay the **** away.

    I went to the WC in Germany 2006 and the Euros 2016. Saw England v Wales game.
    Because of all the Russian hooligan trouble that was reported on TV during the Euros my Mrs said I wasn’t allowed to go to Russia :(

    So instead I am going to Tenerife with 7 mates for a week ! I have booked us a huge villa, with pool, bbq, and a huge **** off sized TV.
    We arrive on 18th and England play that night, and England’s last game is the night before we come back.
    A week of non stop football, beer, and sunshine, with 7 mates - priceless

    It really is, they don't have a chance of winning it. They're not even in the top two of outside bets for countries beginning with 'P'.

    For good outside bets I'd say Poland or Portugal. Both should easily qualify from their groups and then have a nice enough 2nd round draw. Portugal have also just won a tournament and actually have a good pedigree prior to that of getting to the latter stages. Actually maybe they don't count as outsiders...

    Shut up Mr Serious.

    Shall i do a world cup special, like i did for the euros on the sunderland board, where we all became honoury supporters of that country, and all things to do with them.

    Most even donned avatars to suit, in fact you ****ing still have yours two years later.

    Of course not - just look for a villa in Tenerife with a pool, you can’t miss it.

    Shall I stick a steak on the bbq for you, how do you like yours done

    I think you should - the board needs livening up and the football being offered at SoL isn't going to do it.

    Not sure I'm ever going to change this avatar. If I do I'm liable to change back afterwards - prior to the euros I just posted for years without an avatar.

    So who starts for England then?

    Do we put Kane and Vardy up front together?
