The morning after

So it wasn't to be, but well done to Gareth's boys. And they really are boys, in some cases, so young. Anyway, please beat Belgium and at least bring home the third place medal, and maybe a golden boot for Harry. Then (and more importantly) please don't let this be a false dawn - kick on and do well in Euro 2020.

Seems like a good time to play this - re-releases aside, surely New Order's last great single?

  1. Well done indeed. Lessons learnt in this tournament for going forward it seems. So glad that for Gareth, the demons of '96 are now totally behind him. He can even listen to Three Lions again without dying inside. Cross fingers the third place medal will be coming home at any rate.

    1. Certainly no more pizza adverts for Mr Southgate...

  2. Ooh I dunno Crystal is a corker, as Hooky himself says the best comeback since Ricky Hatton

    1. I'd say that Crystal starts very well, loses itself a bit in the middle, has a decent chorus, not so great verses, and some underwhelming, desperate rhyming lyrics ("Here comes love, It's like honey, You can't buy it with money") ... regardless, whether good or great, it's definitely a better comeback than Ricky Hatton's ill-advised return!
