An ode to Gary:
He was mighty
In Italia 90,
A sure-fire bet
To find the net.
It was perhaps
The pinnacle
Of Gary Linnacle.

Is it just me or does Jack Wilshere sound something akin to an EDL member :
"We are English. We tackle hard, are tough on the pitch and are hard to beat.
"We have great characters. You think of Spain and you think technical but you think of England and you think they are brave and they tackle hard. We have to remember that.
"The only people who should play for England are English people."

It's a tiny drop in a vast ocean considering the extortionate amounts they earn but I'd like to think this is a thin edge of what's going to become a very large wedge. It's an unlikely, but welcome source and it'd be most excellent if all the multi millionaires gave something back to their personal cheer-leaders.

That is good to read.
I don't think it's been reported but Chelsea have been subsidising rail travel to away games. The train to Newcastle for instance cost £50 return. OK that sounds steep, but far cheaper then flying, the normal train or even petrol.
More good news I've just received is that Newcastle United have entered into a reciprocal arrangement with all other Premier League clubs to charge just £20 for away fans' tickets! I think that's really excellent. I don't go to Newcastle's ground TBH due to the ridiculous positioning of the seats and the sheer distance you are away from the pitch AND the 100 or more stairs you have to climb to get to your mountain to....elevated perch but still, that is a very good gesture from the barcodes there!
Indeed, you need an oxygen tank to get up there. It's a long bloody climb up. 15 flights iirc.
Another club (though not in the PL) are taking great steps to welcome away fans. Brighton FC. They treat away fans as decent human beings rather then cattle. Even changing the colour of the away end to that of the visiting teams colours.

Aha, we're back in the café after an away game in the long-standing and games thread. Does anybody know how we got on for our away match? And does anybody know where our next away thread fixture is going to be?

i hate it when the other team has a good goalkeeper.
Another vote here for moving the result prediction game to another thread. - For what it's worth. - I'd like to play it but it's seldom i would remember in time. I open the footy thread once in a while and i find it's difficult to follow the posts.
Anyway, as Monty would put it, Up the England!

I post the most because I'm scoring it. What would happen if you put me on ''ignore?''

I wouldn't ever ignore you.
No, carry on. It's just a preference. We can't have two football threads.

After England dominating, and playing brilliantly, is it going to be a case of hanging on??
