Preferably Colletts but if the Maunsells haven't been in revenue earning service for a while I could live with that. -
Thanks. I quite fancy a passenger and a goods working featuring Southern locomotives as their drivers need to keep their route knowledge up to scratch......forbidden fruit....
-
Here we go again......doh
-
You can play absolute pants and still get through to the World Cup QFs - I've just seen the proof. Hoping for an England win, as it would make a great 65th birthday prezzie for me, but not only have England got to beat Columbia they also have to beat their ITV hoodoo with one win in the last ten World Cup games covered by ITV.
-
Courtois would have had a field day carping on about how vertically challenged Hodgkinson was - only 5'9" (1.75m) tall - one of the few keepers I could have stood next to without feeling vertically challenged. Good shot stopper but played for England before Gordon Banks so..........
-
Boo - I was quite looking forward to an extra helping of that match.......
-
Poor old Kasper. Saved the pen towards the end of extra time only to be let down by some thoroughly dismal pens by his teammates in the shoot out. At least he'll back at Leicester for pre-season training a bit earlier along with our Nigerian and Portugese contingents
-
A thirty minute extension to this borefest.......if only Spain would take a risk like trying a cross or shot instead of being scared stiff of losing the ball.
-
Spain get their just desserts after 45 minutes of fairly pointless arrogant tiki taka football with little attacking intent - 3 goal attempts to Russia's 5. It doesn't make any sense to me not to try for a second goal to seal the match instead of taking your foot off the gas almost completely. Still I'm sure Spain should be able to play with a bit more positive intent in the second half.

Less of these American alternatives to good English words in 1947 ANTB please. I blame the hot weather.......

I think today's matches may be a bit like "after the Lord Mayor's Show" with yesterday's pair of belting matches being a hard act to follow. It's more difficult for me to get excited about today's matches as I don't have any feelings of irrational dislike, envy, prejudice or jealousy about any of today's teams, which I had for all of yesterday's teams to some degree. Still football is a funny old game and anything can happen......

It's pity that the VAR officials can't advise the referee to tell that snidey worm Suarez to get up and stop holding his head after he has clearly been hit on the back.
-
Well that was a great game for the neutral and the match between Ronaldugal and Cannibal Suarez and his crew will have to be some match to equal it.
-
Wot like this?:
-
Oh well at least England have secured the "easy" route to the latter stages - I just hope we don't have to call on the services of too many of that reserve crew as most of them are distinctly average. Unfortunately it also looks like Pickford could be developing early stage Joe Hart Weak Hands and Arms Disease.
-
I think England should go for the win tonight. I would prefer them to play Japan rather than Columbia as I think we would have more joy with set pieces playing a shortish team than against unpredictable South Americans. I don't care that we will probably play Brazil in the QFs. This "planning" your route to the Final nonsense never works out in practice anyway.
-
The infamous 1982 Gijon Anchluss....
-
Utter farce Japan v Poland - Japan go through because they have less yellow cards than Senegal after wasting the last ten minutes aimlessly passing the ball between themselves with Poland looking on as passive spectators
-
Should we offer the Germans the use of the plane that we usually have warming up at this stage of a Tournament?
-
I can't believe how useless the usually clinical Germans were at finishing this afternoon.
-
Damn I seem to have completely missed the ANTB brand relaunch.
-
Even more ludicrous 'VAR assisted" penalty award..........I don't think that referee will be on the shortlist for the Final.
-
Ronaldugal awarded a ridiculous VAR penalty but there is a God after all as the keeper saves it.
-
Good old Norbert Hauata.....they wouldn't dare to actually pick him to referee a game would they?
-
I thought Clattenburg was on the provisional confirmed list before he went chasing a crock of gold in Saudi. Also not sure we've got a dozen quality referees in the Premiership but I could have missed them I suppose.
