Is it… coming home?

Because I’ve quite enough hurt, thank you very much.

21,132 days of hurt

Recently I’ve been dreaming about men called Gareth, Harry and Bukayo.

And playing out hypotheticals in my head, like sprinting across the pitch to chop down a German striker who’s clean through on goal.

Why these wild trips? Obviously these are signs of a troubled mind. But I’ll put that to one side to focus now on my massive wallchart and the fact that Euro 2024 is nearly upon us, and we know who’s on the plane.

“We’ve got the magic waistcoat running the show, and not a tactically outwitted owl.”

Yes! Are you ready to feel real pain, once more? Caution: contains missed penalties.

Ok, let’s get positive. This time it’s going to be different, right? At least we’re not Scotland. Remember this?

This time around we’re more Phil Foden, than Phil Neville. We’ve got the magic waistcoat running the show, and not a tactically outwitted owl.

So…it’s time to get those flags out and get it in the mixer.

Your country needs you.
