I, too, successfully avoided the England match.
I found this to be remarkably easy.

A football match?
Blissfully unaware of it.

Much like most of the England team it would seem

I've heard of 'Ian Rush' and 'Kevin Keegan' if that helps?

If you are an 80's scouser, yes

My friend challenged me to name some Manchester United* players a couple of years back
I could not. Apparently Bryan Robson no longer plays football.

*I hear they are quite a popular team

Nobby Styles?

No, that's all cleared up now.

Kevin Keegan coming off his bike on Superstars
is the best thing that has ever been on television EVER.

Better, even, than the spastic specials of We Are The Champions, and when Deacon flipped his shoe in the sea.

Shit football. 150 snots for a ticket
and the Met line was "part suspended" between Aldgate and WEMBLEY PARK.

You've got to laugh or you'd go postal.

£150?
Fucking hell!! I paid £38 last time I saw England
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:46, Reply)

Please don't tell me you paid 150 quid for a ticket???

For £150 I'd expect to be sitting next to Capello

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:47, Reply)

I'm fairly sure that's the only way Theo Walcott gets in the squad.

( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:48, Reply)

Haha!
Especially after "his" book

Is he a 'Townshend'?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:50, Reply)

He still looks like Townsend "research"

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:50, Reply)

It's either that or he won a competition.

( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:51, Reply)

It reminds me of a really shit joke from 2002ish that for some reason I found funny/still remember.
"Madame Tussaud's has a new waxwork exhibit of the England team and Sven Goran Errikson, where members of the public can showcase their skills and win an 'honorary' place in the England squad ahead of the World Cup. Security have so far had to ask James Beattie to leave on several occasions."

Ha. I would have liked that at the time.

The most I've ever paid for a ticket for a game of football is £50.
And that was for a European final.

Club Wembley innit.
Posh seats and facilities.

Corporate ligging so no SYFTS money lined Wembley pockets.

HA HA HA HA HA.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:49, Reply)

I'm truly gobsmacked.
Especially seeing as a couple mate couldn't give their spares away on Facebook over the past week.....they were after twenty and twenty five quid respectively.

It's the emotional investment football fans make that amuses me the most.
I had friends who shed actual tears at some important missed penalty kick in the mid-nineties. Grown men too.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 7 Sep 2011, 9:56, Reply)

I've managed to tune it out.
If we win I will literally milk it for all it's worth. If we lose, who gives a toss eh?
