Damn & blast -I have to do the swimming run tonight. We get back ~1830 and have to feed my son . Looks like it’s minute noodles & chewits for tea 🙂
Quite excited 😆 I
he’s probably the slowest player I’ve ever seen
Ah, you youngsters never saw Micky Droy in his prime. Dimensions and mobility of a fur covered wardrobe.
"Swimming run?" .... "Swimming run?!?" .... Do my ears deceive me?
Beavers cancelled, rugby pre session training put back until tomorrow and the best one is .... the school end of year play being brought forward by an hour and the Head is then showing the football on the massive projector in the school hall.
We've got our priorities straight in sunny Brentwood Senor J ...... sort your life out.... 🙂
Is anyone genuinely looking forward to this experience? The actual football?
No - because England are playing, even if we had the skill & talent of Pep's Barcelona it wouldn't be a relaxing experience.
& not to be a doom-sayer, but... My last holiday before Euro 2016 was Iceland. My last holiday before this World Cup. Yup.
Croatia.
So if we lose, I'm going to start being very careful where I book my holidays, or at least start betting on those countries to do well in football tournaments!
OK, if we lose tonight we will blame you, your punishment will be a week in Scarborough before euro 2020.
And thank your lucky stars we have an England team and not a Great Britain team, otherwise it would have been Rhyl.
Courtois and Hazard bitching about French negativity. They were apparently at a different game last night and clearly one with fewer consequences. Go on lads - bugger off on holiday sharpish as you're facing the mighty Terriers again on 11th August and it doesn't seem five minutes since you got shut down by some proper end-of-season negativity and time wasting.
The sound of bottles crashing is loud in here. 😆
I haven’t felt this nervous about a Semi, since I watched Brokeback Mountain!

Some great lines on this thread. Keep it coming! 🙂
1-0, I reckon, that's about as optimistic as I can get about England.
I'm hoping for Sterling to slot one home so he can mimic shooting an automatic rifle as his goal celebration.
Bloody pressure will get higher if there is a penalty shoot out between England & Croatia ... 🙁
I hope England will win but the players need to work hard for this match.

Can I interest Sir in a holiday in Scotland?
I asked around the office today where they were in 90. The 2 others who were born didn't watch it. Generational moment here.
On the tram now, kids with painted faces heading into the city now. Proper nerves time, I hope they remember this one for the good outcome.
If we win tomorrow how long before someone mentions agincourt ?
The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry, England, and Saint George!’
My prediction for The Daily Mail headline if we make it to the final
And of course there is always Trafalgar when we run out of Shakespeare
Can I interest Sir in a holiday in Scotland
Actually going for a week in August...
We’ve got our priorities straight in sunny Brentwood Senor J …… sort your life out…. !
Quite right Rosey.....swimming run FFS!
oooer....I'm getting excited now! Imagine how the players feel?
Just driven by the local pub/ place to go. It's very busy already with plenty walking down there. 12 years ago I'd have been in the melee up the front randomly chanting at the big screen. I'm tempted to go down but know it will be mayhem. I have zero self control when in the pub also so it will end up in 8 pints and feeling shite all day tomorrow!!!
Sofa for me. Enjoy folks.
C'mon engerland!!!!!!
Well gmp have stopped alcohol sales in the city centre so I guess it's time! Nerves up to 11
No nerves here, bought a bottle of wine to go with supper. Sat in a hotel room in my pants.
1-0 Cro
No nerves here ..just a quiet confidence ..
I'm too superstitious to watch it in the village ..as I have watched every game at home ..my lad is working tonight so I'm on my own ..
Bring it on !!!
Why is Roy Keane orange?
It's world cup time so he walks his dog a lot.
Mrs Binners just asked ‘why has Roy Keane come as an Umpa-lumpa?
What the hell are those good luck messages about at the ad breaks?
Good luck troops, i do genuinely mean that. I'll still laugh my head off you get beat mind 😆 But still all the best!
I predict 2-1 to england in 90.
only itv?
Yeah white shirts and ITV in the pub here not a good omen
I put a fiver on Croatia to win the tournament at the beginning of the WC. I am so conflicted.
I mean, I'm English, but £75 is £75 🤔
****ing adverts!
It’s time.
Screw you, itv!
Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how ITV will **** up the live coverage of this? Advert break during the final penalty maybe? Cutting to Roy Keane scratching his arse with 2 mins to go possibly.

Oh my giddy aunt!
beezer!
I better cash out while I can.
I was still trying to synch the radio 5 commentary so heard the goal before I saw it!
Damn! I just went out to buy some bread and England scored! 😀
Dough!
Croatia really have trailed (tailed?) off since the group stages.

Peak too early ... 🙁
carrying their luck in the last 2 games, only looking like one winner here unless croatia get the finger out!
*tailed.
Well....at least the game isn't a damp squid.
Dont sit back! If they are brave and really go for this there are goals to be had here
Checkw, can you please go for another bread trip. Happy to contribute
