Rednapp says that the ‘England future looks scary!’
It is a very hot day here again in beautiful Rutland. The 1st of July, how time flies. This time last month we had rain and hopes of popcorn on the sofa watching the England Team at least attempt to make a stab at winning the world cup. With tales in the Sun this morning of poor old Becks having to be a peacemaker between the Captain and ex Captain, and Harry Rednapp saying that the England future looks scary, one wonders if I will ever have popcorn on the sofa ever again watching an England game… and we trust that it will rain soon, the garden needs it.
Team is a fantastic word, with many connotations it basically means, (note to scribe basically is an overused word); a group of people organized to function cooperatively, who combine and match. Bearing in mind the press reports of the last year, (and there have been many) about the play on and off field; it could be said that what the FA sent to South Africa was not a team, or persons who reasonably could achieve this status, she says they neither, complemented, matched or combined with one another. There was arguably too much dirty laundry and Football League rivalry involved for this lot to have ever gelled if reports are to be believed. It is a great shame, especially for all the troops in hot sandy places that would have taken a great delight in watching if an England team of true professionals without emotional baggage and inflated egos had turned up to play in the tournament in South Africa. That would have been a tournament she would love to have seen, my closet Sun reader says, and she is a cricket supporter.
We live in hopes for Andy Murry in the tennis at Wimbledon now and hope he does not have a penchant for a cigar on the side, Havana or otherwise, it’s very bad for the lungs don’t you know. His team seems to be working hard and functioning at the moment.
I am of course
