Finally, some SANITY returns to the board. I can only imagine everyone else was still giddy from the result.
Neither have the scotch to my knowledge, but then we all know why THAT is, now don't we Thomas. :)
Haven't spoken to him since, but being as he won't have got in till gone 10.30pm and has to be up early, I guess he preferred the option of 45 minutes highlights, rather than ploughing through what turned out to be 2 and a half hours of trauma.
Its certainly harder to avoid a result these days, but still possible if you're "isolated", and determined enough.
No it wasn't Pegleg (he's in New Zealand atm). This was just one of the regulars down my local who does shift work. Maybe he could've watched it on his phone at work, I dunno. But...
The presenter giving away the result of the match right at the start of the show was a trifle unexpected though, wasn't it ? I've not seen that happen before.
Anyway, I appreciate I was being annoyed on someone elses behalf, as Linekers antics didn't affect me one iota. It was an emotional...
Its a fair point. He managed to watch it in the serene knowledge that England eventually made it, completely avoiding the trauma and suffering we all had to go through. He hasn't really earned that QF. I shall bring this to his attention when it all starts going pear-shaped again on Saturday...

So you're looking to avoid an ENGLAND RESULT in the World Cup tonight - and you sign in to the busiest FOOTBALL messageboard on the net.
Up your arse, both of you. If you don't even have the basic intelligence NOT to go online to a football messageboard when you're looking to avoid seeing a...
Well, yes. I was. Because I minced out of the office at 4pm and had the luxury of watching the entire (near) debacle unfold live. But there's plenty of people in the country who can't. So to have the result blurted out at the top of the show was, IMO, poor form.
Begins the MOTD England highlights show tonight with "I'm going to say it...England win on penalties". Grinning.
What a complete and utter wankpuffin. I managed to watch it live, but have a mate who had to work, he forbid me from texting, and did his damndest to avoid the result so he could...
