We were raking through the ashes today in a desperate attempt to find something interesting in the spurting firmament but fortunately - and not in the usual way - the ever dependable Rio came up with the goods.Newly born statesman, stand in captain and first minister of Enger-land Rio has opined that the England camp was a ‘circus’ pre-Senor Fabio and that our last futile World Cup bid was sabotaged by the ‘whole WAG situation’.
Well no shit Sherlock, the WAGs or ‘slags with bags’ as some of the more uncharitable elements (like us) would have them, proved a big Baden Baden distraction for the tabs, but we’re not so sure they had such a big effect on anything other than the paper’s soaring circulations.
Rio differs of course saying ‘"People were worrying more about what other people were wearing and where they were going, rather than the team."
Well it’s an interesting point, but we see the WAGs more as a symptom, rather than a cause – and of course they’re well fit too innit.
We hope Senor Fabio has taken note and will rapidly introduce the traditional cold showers and a pre-game nookie bans to keep the lads ever hungry for our next glorious World Cup fail ...er attempt.
