England v Colombia last 16 tie

So after winning the battle of who has got the worst reserve team v Belgium, Gareth Southgate is looking smugly at the easy side of the draw that his tactical nous has guarenteed his side.

In fairness Columbia are going to be difficult to beat because:

a) the Columbians are on coked up to the eyeballs (allegedly)

b) England are playing a midget in goal, a wing back in central defence and the most over rated player with a gun tattoo in England

and most significantly

c) The Columbian drug cartels have promised not to kill any of the players or their family members if they win.

This is a powerful incentive...and the Columbians learnt this incentervisation from own lovable Krays Twins...Gawd bless them boys...they loved their mum and more importantly they had Bobby Moore's wife fitted with some fetching concrete shoes as they listened to the match on a barge in the Thames...and we all know how that worked out...ahhh them were the days!

Danny Dier has taken inspiration from this and has taken Danny Roses's stash of Mars Bars and is threatening to give them to Neil Ruddock

England's main tactic will be to set up several early chances for Sterling to screw up and while the Columbians are pissing themselves in disbelief a proper player will score.

There have been some real shocks in this world cup;

1) Italy failing to qualify at all
2) Holland failing to qualify at all
3) Germany failing to get out of their group
4) Spain going out
5) John Stones not being dogshite bad.

so there is a glimmer of hope that England might get through.

So ... tomorrow night you need to put club allegiances aside and cheer the spurs and ex spurs players on ...

all together now...

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
wheeeeeeeeeennnnnnn theeeeeeeeeeeeee Spuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrssssssss

cue Southampton fans lying about us stealing their song

 

Brilliant, mate

 

You were doing OK there until you got to John Stones.
He's out there to defend, not score goals against a pub team.

 

So far 100% predictions in the prediction league last 16, although only one exact score. So my RCLing it is not working at all. Call me deedub the octopus.

Long may it continue, as I have predicted an England win tomorrow.

However, if as you say, the Columbians will be coked up to the limit, the goal will look about 400 metres wide and a hundred metres high, and our keeper will look like a midget, even if he actually is. It could go down to the wire. COYS!!!

 

Are we glossing over the fact that our resident educator can't spell Colombia? Where's my piss filled sock?

 

I've probably made the same feck up, easy one to make

 

Don't tell RCL but I have continuously spelled it with a u.

 

He's not talking about Columbia Pictures then?

 

Be scared mo fos...I educate the most violent kids in society

 

Yes, but what about the ones where you work?

 

There's more than one, you know!

 

This is an RCL thread

 

Is it an Academy school in Charlton?

 

I just posted a song for tonight on the Music thread.
An alternative national anthem.
I think some of you might go for it - HBIC, for example?

 

I think of you as an educator to the elite. None of them here.
Also name checking all the teachers would have spoiled the set up to my gag.

 

Having posted the late, great Kirsty MacColl's England 2 v Colombia 0 previously, one might think that great songs about football, the World Cup, England and Colombia were exhausted?

You lucky people will be delighted to hear that the cupboard is not bare......there is this Punk classic recalling Bobby Moore's arrest in Bogota, Colombia just prior to the Mexico '70 World Cup. Enjoy.......

I've been unable to find the lyrics on-line but if anyone's particularly wanting them, I've got the album [The Revolution Starts at Closing Time] somewhere and pretty sure that it had a lyric sheet, so it's not impossible........

 

nah...I know the one you mean...they treat staff poorly there...huge union issue break out regularly...we are spared th at cos our leadership are decent ... becoming a rare thing in schools.

 

I was involved in representing the school a couple of times in civil court regarding serious assaults on staff by students. The lack of training and care from the top of the school chilled me to the bone. We lost both cases spectacularly. I was amazed to see that the Head Teacher is still the same one from about 15 years ago.

 

I see you amended the title spelling of Colombia, but couldn't be arsed with the dozens of misspellings in your post.
As likely as me going through my prediction leagues and correcting mine.
