Good work

 

As we all know "winners never quit and quitters never win".


What about this dubious chap who pitched up in Panama a few years ago trying to exploit interesting point 19 from the list above?

John the canoe, from Seaton Carew.

 

Loved the look in her face when she was filmed speaking to him on the phone and pretending she was overjoyed he was alive.

 

No point playing Vardy. Vardy thrives against teams who press and have a high line. He's not an intricate edge of box player.

Paradoxically it would be better to play the speed merchants of Vardy, Rashford etc against Belgium and keep the same team against Panama.

 

Need to do a job here today. Some clinical finishing and it should be comfortable. Let the wrestling in the box comence.

 

I'm getting a similar feeling as I do when I go to watch City, we should win but...….

 

Cry 'God for Harry(x2), England and St George!

 

Two falls, two submissions or a knockout is the winner.

 

If we lose today john I'll eat my hat.
Go on guess what type of hat it is...

 

A pork pie one?
