What a load of rubbish...

They went out like lions, but mewed like kittens. I'm speaking, of course, about the awful displays of the England World Cup football team.

Where was the passion? Where was the skill? Where was the English stiff upper lip in the face of adversity? And I went all jingoistic, waving my flag and everything. Now my flag is limp, and I'm all jingo-ed out.

For shame.
