It’s not quiet finished yet but it might as well have…
After the lack lustre (some would say piss poor) performance of our Country’s team, it’s a wonder that we continue to have such a passion for the game in our Country. Perhaps that’s one of the problems? The fans have the passion but the players don’t, just so long as they keep getting their disgusting salaries to squander on fast cars and fast women!
Any way, a major sporting defeat (like other loss) tends to bring out the sarcastic irony and satire of British humour and comedy. Here is a selection of those circulated recently 🙂 …

And finally, on a more sombre note…
Two planes landed in England today… One brought back a group of overpaid, underachieving footballers. The other brought back seven coffins, each with the Union Flag draped over them.
