Red Card For Rooney

I'm going to go for an outside bet and go for:
COMETH THE HOUR

1966 about 100 times in the first 10 minutes...oh wait its not motsey your talking about ah well 90 times in the first 10 minutes it is then.

Paddy Power have it at 10/3, 1950 is another hot bet at 5/1

"England Captain" - Ferdinand's injury makes this a pre-match topic

but if it is during the 90 minutes then "cometh the hour" seconds after the whistle is blown
(edited)

I can see making themselves heard getting in there early, so I'll pluck for that one.

thats exactly my reasoning :)

I'd have had the mortgage on 1966, but rtg got there first :(

So I'll take carnival atmosphere

Dream Start for me (as USA make it 1-0 after 5 minutes. England win 3-1)

I'll take Special Relationship, but only because I can't find a reference to the Boston Tea Party.

Im going for......" This is a really poor start for England in this first half "


3-1 would be good.

Rooney has really teabagged the ref this time?

Maybe not...

I'm really hoping there are more meanings for teabagging than I know ...if not, I'd rather he swore at the ref and maybe just punched him.

btw - I think there are speacialist shops if that's your bag Jaize (no pun intended) :)

I am not sure you can really buy that...

;-)

I was thinking more like DVD's ...I think I need to stop thinking!

and hide the DVDs probably...

This is like the business world Bullshit bingo.
Before every meeting everyone gets a bingo type chart with lots of cliche words like 'synergy' and 'added value' and 'strategic planning', which one must tick in his own bingo chart. When one finishes a straight line, comes the shout: 'Bullshit!' and the winner gets excused from the rest to the boredom/boardroom.
