"I
am not a number, I'm a free man," bellowed the
Prisoner. Greedy sod, he should have been grateful,
because Coventry City striker Paul Williams is remembered
in the tomes of football folly by just a solitary letter.
Yes, one blessed letter.

Saturday, 5pm
Switzerland vs. Czech Republic
Prediction by
Robert May |
|
Reasons
to be cheerful:
- Being able to watch Jan Koller, a rich
man's Peter Crouch.
- The Czech Republic are one of a few countries
in Europe that English people don't have
any qualms about so we can all support them.
- Switzerland are one of a few countries
in Europe that English people don't have
any qualms about so we can all support them.
(Delete which ever of the above doesn't
win and jump on a bandwagon like the glory
hunting every England fan this summer, so
starved of international success we don't
care who gives it to us, we just want it.
Badly.) Reasons
to be fearful:
- If the Swiss are 3-0 down with 15 minutes
to go we could see some serious Army knife
wielding on the pitch.
- The first in a long line of games when
you think "So when our first ga...
Oh wait, I remember we didn't qualify."
- It could be the first major tournament
in a while where the hosts are both incredibly,
pain-stakingly bad. Actually I don't know
if that's good or bad, as long as it stops
annoying horns being blown at the games
then I'll be happy.
Open
Goal Hysteria Hunch:
Despite the BBC asking 'Who Will You Support?'
every bloody day, trying to get excitement
flowing when seeing this is the first
game will be hard. Switzerland got brushed
aside by a mediocre England side in February
and I expect the Czech Republic (who are
better than us) to win this comfortably
and boringly especially if they score
a couple before half-time. Instead of
watching this why not go outside and enjoy
the weather.
We predict (out of 10):
5 yodels.
