In a week that will inevitably bring change little has changed with the English football team as they go one down to the Slovaks in Germany.
The English supporters aired their frustrations as they booed their team off the pitch. It could have been Sunak not Southgate booing him off this Thursday. Leadership is Lonely. Yet come what may you can’t beat the history of England and Big Ben has rung in many changes over many years.
1066 and 1966 common denominators in both Conquests, Norman and Nobby shined on both occasions and at some point another hero will show. Sunak and Southgate need a miracle now. 45 minutes or 4 days the calm might say don’t panic but sorry guys it is , now is the time to panic and when it comes it’s time to change the same old same old.
The change to come is Starmer in number 10 and the prospect is awful. Lord Sunak of Southampton will come. No substitutes at half time which means Southgate must be warming the wax to seal his departure. The narrative of the game remains the same.
What’s going wrong ? The blogger reflects. Was it Brexit that Wrecked it , was it Covid that drove it . Can Palmer , can Starmer ? . Kane Kan’t as he heads passed the post. 14 minutes to go 4 days and counting , egg timer , extra timer. Rice hits the post , England on the verge , Sunak must upsurge. The fans continue to boo, Eze comes on , 6 minutes left , free kick ( nothing is ever free ). Slovakia on the rebound. Can anything come back this week ? Three minutes a corner for England.
Sunak / Southgate edge to the exit, 6 minutes left with injury time. Eze forces a corner , the favourites flag , the bugler sounds the Last Post by the Goal Post. Toney the gambler from Brentford comes on. If the MPs can bet then so can he. If he can score he will be knighted Bellingham rescues with 58 seconds to go.
Hey Jude
Your scored the goal, that makes it better
Hey Jude was nearly a sad song but you made it better
The minute you came into the team .
Extra time. Kane heads, England go ahead. Miracle with a Toney assist. Brentford finally on the map. Labour’s Blair claims he’s related to Toney until reminded of different colour shirt. Slovakia still look dangerous unlike the Conservatives. Pickford Plucks from the sky the ball safely in his hands. Half time in extra time. England breathe , fans relieved no one leaves. Team talk on the pitch , England scratch the itch , 15 minutes to go. Connor and Konsa come on the scorers leave ( really Gary ? ).
Slovakia free kick. Over the bar ( just ). Starmer calls Pickford (not the goalkeeper the Removal Company ) as he prepares to move in on Friday. Toney does well again , his wager looks well MPs smile. Four minutes to go , 2 balls on the pitch , a pair for each player. The fans sing Sweet Chariot to take Sunak away. The fans chant England , by George we are nearly there. Toney nearly scores , Palmer not Starmer.
Quarter Finals , England win the Swiss await. Sweet Caroline.
