Looking forward to never finding out what a Snapdragon is, like I never learned what Teamviewer means or what AIG actually does.

[Elko Born @Elko_B]

Funny how obsessed English media are over football managers losing their jobs.

[Elko Born @Elko_B]

I'm convinced Pickford is actually the reason England are so bad. Must be so annoying for the players to be yelled at by him all the time. Drains all the joy from playing.
