Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

And now they've painted over a beautiful and well-loved mural of whales in Dallas, so they can replace it with a bloody World Cup image - probably a portrait of Chump holding the trophy.

Helps that I'm still Maltese at heart. My affinity for the England team depends on how many Spurs players are in the side.I'm sure I'll feel differently once it starts but right now I'm hoping England fail, had almost a full year of the entire country mocking Spurs but now I'm meant to get behind a team full of Gooners and Chavs and Mancs?!
Fuck that!

England v Brazil 1970 and Chelsea v Leeds FA Cup 1970 are the first two games i can remember watching on TV. First live game was Hertha v Man City (1971 I think).
Even with his poor season, it’s embarrassing stuff from Tuchel. How can you bring Madueke and not Palmer? Gobbs-White deserves a call up before Eze too.Wharton, Palmer and Colwill as well. Can understand Palmer he has massive dropped off but those 3, particularly Wharton offer great technical ability.
