Oh yeah, i've no doubt he was talking shite, me and my missus were doing our best to avoid him for the rest of the stay as he kept on collaring me
He was telling me all sorts of crap, about how he used to be a millionnaire then lost a load of money due to the recession.
He said he was in the middle of writing a book, he also gave me his telephone number and said if I ever needed cup final tickets or anything to give him a call.
He even wrote:
Harry Kirk
Leeds United AFC
Telephone number

He did buy me a double Dalwhinnie though.

Hmm, maybe not that much shite:

(Please don't ask me to explain why I spent time looking for this as I have no sensible explanation)

Nonetheless, even if he was everything he claimed to be doesn't mean his anecdote is any more likely to be true.

Why would you admit that Roy Hodgson made you look a cunt?

Interesting.

Good find, Mr D.

I support England almost as fervently as I support Swindon.

They provide similar emotional roller coaster rides.

I am currently feeling that England have little chance of success at the Euros.

I am viewing the Euros as a welcom football interlude between us going up as fucking Champions and kicking our forst ball in League 1 next season.

I think Roy is a good appointment and wish him well.

I want him to be brave and say "Fuck it" for the Euros and use the tournament as part of his team building exercise for the next World Cup. The England heriarchy need to accept that a fair proportion of the current crop of 'Stars' are either not up to it or too full of themselves to be at their best for their country. Drop the piss taking wasters, take a punt on some of the up and coming youngsters and build a squad for the future.

Log on to Waccoe and see if they know him.
