lol ya cheeky bugger

I'm doing me feng shooey stuff

Wtf is this crap?

Every sporting event on the beeb has to have some random poetry or book passage spoken before it starts.

Would you prefer Adrian Chiles?

I enjoyed that, the only thing missing was the woman from Predator I saying "it took their skin!"

Evening all.

Work in the morning but oh well, this is more important.

Come on England.

Roy looks relaxed and confident.

Who were those Italian OAPs coming off that coach?


I bet a lot don't turn in tomorrow Electric

would the beeb always have rio, henry and shearer as the pundits?

Leccy!

The burning question for me is are there any people on the beach, or is the tide in?

That Italian team looks like absolute garbage - I couldn't tell you who some of those scrubs are! Paletta, Sirigu, Darmian, Candreva, Veratti are no marks!!!

I can see us hammering the Italians tonight

According to the latest twitter feeds...

Roy Hodgson has memorized his post match speech and ready to reveal it the press:

where's the midfield???
far too many attackers starting for my liking

As opposed to DS posters?

I can hear the dulcet tones of somebody shoving a load of empty beer bottles in the recycling bin nearby

Sterling in the middle! I give it 10 minutes until that is swiftly changed.

Wayne flaming Rooney better turn up.

C'mon England, lose with style!

This is rare for me a host and 3 pundits that I dont dislike.

*lobs empty bottle at Ray*

BUT ONLY IF WE HAVE A PLAN TO STOP PIRLO!!!!!

Christ, the way the media has gone on about him last couple of days you'd think we a re playing Pirlo and ten pieces of wood.....

Exactly the England team I would have picked so no complaints from me on that score.

As long as they continue being shoved in the recycling bin and not crashing through someone's window.

When was the last time England lost the opening game at a group stage and did we then qualify
If sterling messes up then I can see the mail going into racist rant because he was born in Kingston.

It was wine bottles if you must know.

We should be hammering this Italian mob. Mark Lawrenson was right; not a single one of their players would get in the England squad nevermind our team!
