Our Three Lions back to natural habitat

AFTER their shocker against the Krauts, at least the England team can look forward to spending a bit of quality time with their wives again. Or, perhaps in John Terry’s case, someone else’s partner.

Mind, all Wayne Rooney’s going to face when he gets home is a lawsuit from David Blaine. Apparently the magician wants to sue him for nicking his idea of hanging around in the box for a fortnight doing nothing.

Hey, you’ve got to laugh. That’s what I would have suggested to the Blind Italian if he’d had the foresight to ask me what he should say to the press. I’d tell him, just go out there and tell them all to lighten up. But he didn’t ask me, as per, so just went out there and mumbled something about consulting with the FA. Who ever consulted with the FA? And who are the FA anyhow? I’ve been away three weeks, they’ll have been through three chief executives in the time I’ve been gone.
