The WC is just 3 days away and there are no England flags on cars, expectations are about realistic, the public has turned on The Sun after they tried to make something out of a tattoo, and the England players themselves aren't doing anything controversial. Furthermore, that nice Sussex fella...
I always think the BBC countdowns are a bit hackneyed and there are better iconic moments than they suggest. Here are some of mine, feel free to add your own:

Anyone got any worth following? I still think Boring James Milner is hard to beat, I genuinely LOL whenever he tweets.

As long as I can remember, the generally accepted definition of a billion has been 1,000 million. However, I'm fairly sure the original British definition of a billion was a million million. Does anybody ever still use that definition? Did anyone here use it in the past?
It seems a pretty...
So the Galaxy are playing LAFC in the inaugural (well, rebooted) LA Derby and are 3-0 down at home.
Zlatan gets introduced in the 70th minute as a sub at 3-1. Two minutes later they pull another back, then two minutes more and he does this:

Gotta love Zlatan. What. A...
I believe it has been at least 3 days since anybody started a new thread to inform us all of how well he's doing and wouldn't it be nice if he came back here*. I make it my turn.
Isn't he wonderful, everyone? I hope Luton realise he's only on loan to them ha ha etc etc.
*Unless Paul...
There are some absolutely shite ones out there at the moment.
I think the two that make me most want to punch my telly are a) the purple bricks one, at the wedding where the father of the bride fancies himself as an even less funny version of John Clees, and b) We buy any car - their stomach...
Burnley 34 from 22
Leics 30 from 22
Everton 27 from 22
Watford 25 from 21
This looked Burnley's to lose until the festive period of 4 games, where they have managed just 2 points. Leicester are just 4 points behind them and although they lost 2 games fairly recently, one was against in-form...
That double save, absolutely superb. He has proven himself to be a top notch signing ever since his wobbly first couple of games. He's the best keeper I think I've seen here.
Anyone here eating humble pie? I'm looking at you spence.
Celtic getting absolutely hammered. I really REALLY hope PSG stick 10 past them, and I wouldn't rule it out.
Just goes to show how little their "incredible" unbeaten domestic run is worth. i.e not worth a shuffle.
When he first came he was an absolute breath of fresh air. He bought quality players for not an awful lot, he built a dynasty and his club was able to go toe to toe with Man United despite having nowhere near the same financial muscle.
So it really is a shame to see his conduct these days...
How are they doing?
Wozza was telling me he's gone medium on Lewis Dunk to be in the England squad for Russia - a bit at 20/1, a bit more at 16/1. That's looking good.
I jizzed £25 on a top 10 finish after we signed Izquierdo. This wasn't looking clever after we lost our first two games...
It's been fashionable to attack the PL in recent times, which isn't unreasonable (although still very debatable) when you consider the La Liga clubs have provided 6 of the last 8 finalists.
So it is interesting to see Spurs* hold their own last night away at Real Madrid, just a few weeks after...
A record that will probably never be broken. But it got me thinking, what do you think our highest attendance would have been (approximately) this season if home capacity was unlimited and away was limited to say (an arbitrary) 5,000*? I see we have Spurs as our final home game. If there was...
