      In a rare bit of good news our (if you are English) Under 20 team have won the World Cup – not headline news but fair play to these young lads….hope their elders take note.

        Shame only a few, if lucky, will break though.

        But I suppose congratulations is in order.

        Though international football doesn’t really intrest me anymore. It just gets in the way of the real football most of the time.

        Also England is just terrible, 91 and for me we peaked in 96.

        I think we should revert to the old way and just pick players form the London teams for England. As that is what it was once.

          I think the U-20’s did really well, but now every manager and his dog will be after them. They will be offered ridiculous money and some will suffer from the exposure at too young an age.

          The main England side first disappointed, then impressed me last night against Scotland. Disappointed because they had possession and wasted it, stayed behind a 1-0 lead for too long and paid the price. Joe Hart should never be allowed to keep goal for England again. He was out of position for both free kicks, although TBH I do not think he could have got to the first. Griffiths is by far the best player Scotland have, and he has a Welsh name! His granddad must have had a good bike… Scotland were better than England for most of the game, they are a better team than given credit for. You could see they were playing for the shirt, when too many England players were not.

          Impressed by Harry Kane and sub Chamberlain, who would not give up. The whole team have to pick up their game now.

          A bit of good news for us poor Forest supporters: our 19 yo defender Joe Worrall is a FIFA-rated player, at No. 65 in the world. Probably will not be able to hang onto him, then. He is a really good player, stands out and looks more mature than 19 when playing.

          When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
          I'm out.
