Guess tomorrow’s back pages…
In mere hours time Wembley’s corporate boxes will be full of football fans stuffing their faces with lobster while their seats sit empty and England play Russia.

Pere-striker (Perestroika)-Owen cracks home the winner. May be pluralised to pair of strikers but loses a little in the translation
‘Comrade Robinski’, after our hapless excuse for a keeper converts a corner into his own goal.
If we lose, I’d bet on ‘Iron Curtains’ in regards to McCarrot’s reign as manager.
O-mazing Owen…..betya!
“Final Score 3 to Dasvidania!”
they went for “Super Tsar Owen” in the end – should have seen that one coming…
