Only one story on the front page of every tabloid today. In fact it’s on the front page of every paper. England won a football match yesterday. Apparently it’s also important to note that it was Argentina that they beat. This gives the tabloids an excuse to report it as tho’ it was the Malvinas Crisis of 1982 all over again. From the tone of the papers you could easily thing that they had won the World Cup, but our investigations reveal that it was a relatively unimportant match and we still have three weeks of this nonsense to go.

This was probably the World Cup, wasn’t it? I remember there being a World Cup that summer. It was great as it was held in a part of the world that mean that the games were all played first thing in the morning. This meant that on the days that England played the tubes, trains and buses were all deserted and travelling to work was a pleasure. Shame England didn’t play more games.
