I am slightly conflicted when it comes to Scotland. I genuinely want them to win their games but at the same time I experience incredible glee when they have one of their massive flops.

I haven't watched either World Cup game so far and I don't think I can summon up the enthusiasm for Canada v Bosnia. In fact, looking farther ahead,I think the first game that excites me is France v Senegal.

England are going to concede a goal in this World Cup by pissing around at the back.

That's the end of the 1st quarter in the England v NZ game..

For people who only bet on events such as the Derby and the National, to lose 25% of your winnings due to rule 4 is a piss take. But with some bookies waiving the rule today, I will recommend my other half deletes the @paddypower app as there are plenty of other options out there

With the recent news about Jonathan Milner, it still annoys me that any records achieved before the Premier League began are simply ignored. So here is John Hollins who made a RECORD 714 outfield appearances in the English top flight between 1963 and 1984.

NEW YOUTH TEAM SECTION AT TOOTING & MITCHAM UNITED FC Tooting & Mitcham United FC is proud to announce that its growing youth football section has officially been approved to compete in the Epsom & Ewell Youth Football League ahead of the upcoming season. The approval marks another major step forward in the club’s long-term vision to rebuild and strengthen football pathways for young players across South London. The inclusion of Tooting & Mitcham United youth teams from U10s upwards into one of the region’s respected grassroots leagues represents a significant milestone in the club’s ongoing development both on and off the pitch. Football Chairman Dean Morgan said: "Our ambition is to connect the entire football pathway at the club — from grassroots football all the way through to the first team. We want local children to dream of one day pulling on the shirt at Imperial Fields and representing this historic football club at the highest level possible.” Full details here - tmunited.org/tooting-mitcham…

What I miss in football: ~ FA Cup Final being a national event ~ Home International Championships ~ FA Cup multiple replays ~ Teams like Forest, Derby, Ipswich & QPR having a chance of winning the title ~ Huge heaving terraces ~ Proper wingers ~ Proper tackles ~ Maverick players
