Sam ‘s grand daughter Eloise on ‘World Book Day’ went to school dressed as him and took all three of his books! And did a little presentation on him! Whoop!

JK’s Fanbite of England’s nerve wracking win on pens v Switzerland. Palmer Bellingham Saka Toney & Trent Arnold magnificent. Rest of the game usual ar*e gravy. Can Southgate stop picking Trippier? Is Kane past it? Why is Foden not Foden? @ChelseaFanCast #engvswitzerland #ENGVSWI

Just wasted 90 minS of my life watching England play as if wading in treacle. How did 11 top players with proven PL records manage to play so ineptly. Rice was hopeless. They dither in a sort of low block & punt the ball to no one & press lethargically. Ffs #southgateout #ENGVDEN
