I imagine, in short, most of them.


The Gowlett have inastalled a telly for the bog competitions in the past, I'm sure the EDT will be showing the games and a host of other places.


Its a pity Hoopers have gone, have very fond memories of their early morning world cup bacon sarnies during the rugby world cup.

It's just the misplaced arrogance Jah. And before the joker ???? posts vintage footage Ally's Army '78 we learned our lesson and got on with being a tiny country playing with passion and occasionally above our means.


We know our place but usually, to the amusement of many north of the border, England don't. This phenomena normally creates marginal value for the punter but even the bookies agree this time.


England at evens to go out a the group stage: http://www.skybet.com/football/world-cup/event/15782033

From what I've read a fair percentage of Brazilians don't want the competition primarily because of the cost and how the money would be better spent elsewhere.

"But I don't ever recall a run up to a World Cup with such lack of enthusiasm all round"


Just wait til the Qatari one!!!


Everyone will surely still enjoy a world festival of colour and football once it starts if Brasil can avoid a popular revolution and/or stadia collapses.


Perhaps though it's a reflection of the modern game (ie broader levels of fitness and professialism, coupled with closer media control) that there are fewer personalities or standout talents there to get excited about.

I for one am looking forward to this world cup JUST to enjoy one without fekkin vuvuzelas - ruined last one for me


I also think excitement will pick up once it approaches and people start planning "exotic" times to be drinking in the pub


If there is less excitement these days it could be the saturation of football generally coupled with the fact that once this was a rare opportunity to see unknown and amazing talent. These days, that talent is already known, paid for and playing on your TV every week

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
