And the music everyone will be singing when we win it is that football favourite by Frankie Peters and David Lee:

4 July - Sterling is getting a trashing on radio tonight. He hasn't played well vis a vis goals. Alli is also being questioned because of injury. The favoured replacements are Rashford and Loftus-Cheek. But I think we need to be clear here. Sterling is getting criticism principally because, unstated, he is only 5 foot 7. Apparently he has an 87% pass rate ratio not that this is how it appears. The criticism of Pickford in goal has suddenly changed. So these things can turn around. And if both Sterling and Alli are replaced let us look at the potential goals being lost. In the Premier League - Sterling (18), Alli (9) = 27. Rashford (7) and Loftus-Cheek (2) = 9. Also Alli scored 18 in the previous season and both players have high levels of assists.

Stick with Sterling and also Alli if he isn't seriously injured.

Certainly don't replace both.

....I've got my emergency elastoplast kit ready to put on any fingernails i start biting....hope Jayne is able to watch from the comfort of a chair in the same room....BBC viewer evaluation has England team 3-5-2, Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Lingard, Henderson, Loftus-Cheek, Rose, Kane, Rashford....beware Emil Forsberg....

Sterling and Alli in.

Sterling and Alli in.

Think I’ll try to have a bit of a close watch of Sterling, to try to see what he really contributes.

... there's the b****y footie, and now the b****y tennis, and soon the b****y Proms!

O well, it distracts from other probably worse ghastlinesses going on in the world today..

Back to the forty eight volumes of the Correspondence of Horace Walpole demanding my attention. Tho' of course it's really too hot....

It’s knowing when you are being distracted that is the main thing.

Sad to report my first sighting of Christmas cards in a charity shop last week - mind you, this was in Scotland, so perhaps it helps take their minds off their lack of involvement in the World Cup.
I'm really looking forward to the big match (Edmund v Djokovic).

....surely in Scotland , they'll be second hand Xmas cards....

Only in Aberdeen. In Glasgow, they'll be "pre-loved" and in Edinburgh, well, you'll have had your tea ....

Such stereotyping (and all true!).

[eighthobstruction]

....20 minutes....useless as usual....Why don't they JUST PUT IT IN THEBOX....

Ah now I see....they were waiting for Swe to give them a corner....get the big boys up....

Trippiers control on his chest ....amazing, masterly....

[Beef Oven!]

Harry does it again!

[Beef Oven!]

Take Sterling off. He's a joke .......

In Dundee they tear off the back page of last year's Christmas cards and turn them into this year's Christmas postcard. Monny a mickle maks a muckle!
