In before "It's a year late, but that's a goal worth waiting for" and all similar variants (heh) of these sorts of phrases.

"This isn't the Italy front line of old" - Jermaine Jenas

Wat

Have Italy even had a front line this good in like...twenty years?

 

[sledger]

Jenas now telling us that Italy's forwards are unproven, itstl

Their forwards were amazing at the 2006 World Cup. Pretty sure all of them scored at least once in the tournament.

Didn't they play Luca Toni as a lone forward in most of their games?

No, Lippi used his forwards really well in that tournament. Although I'm taking a wee bit of a liberty in also describing del Piero and Totti as forwards.

Love how Cesc is so much more eloquent and erudite than the native English speaking pundits haha

Haha you are, yes

 

[Furball]

Haha what's Savage's beef with Boris Johnson?

 

[GIMH]

I presume Boris must have expressed support for England and not Wales or Scotland

He's displaced Robbie as Google's #1 search result for "Blonde haired ****".

England, Scotland and the other home nations - or something like that, I believe

DWTA.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Just stop how good it is to have crowds back. Especially as Boris will empty Wembley for the Final.

 

[Uppercut]

I can’t believe they hired Jermaine Jenas. Any commentator who works for BT should be blacklisted.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I don't know who ITV have on later, but at least it won't be Robbie Savage.

 

[Agent TBY]

Alan Smith talking about the "aging Croatian defense." Their average age is 26.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Srizza!

tbf Corluka declined so fast they chucked him out (edit: or promoted* to coach)

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Surely ITV didn’t need to drag Keane and Neville in from Sky.

 

[Furball]

Would they actually be earning in the summer months?
