Dave Beasant and salad cream, David James and a remote control, Rio Ferdinand and a coffee table.

Fingers crossed we'll be spared his insight now.

I imagine the comms pairing will be Matterface/Dixon, Tyldesley/McCoist and Hutchinson/Townsend, but I hope Ally is given a bit of freedom - he can even make Matterface borderline tolerable just through the strength of his own personality.

They didn't call it Euro Two-Thousand-and-Great for nothing

The Nunez/Klopp bit is especially fun, given the conversation in the FPL thread right now

It's like the fans whose idea of a protest is to march from a pub they were going to anyway over to a stadium they were going to anyway.

48 teams, yeah; it's just how to arrange them once they're in the hat.

Watched every game I've been able to (two or three I was busy for) and loved what happened on the pitch. Totally understand why some didn't want to watch, but I'm glad I didn't miss it.

True, A and B weren't as goal-a-minute, but both Senegal and the US managed to turn around their positions in the group to qualify, while France losing is always fun and it was a lovely moment for Australia to get through.

Pretty much every group built to a crescendo - is it just recency bias, or are final matches not usually so routinely exciting?

Very much this, and for those who haven't had the pleasure, here you go.

Never fear, I'll always aim to bring the lols, Gricey lad.

How about taking inspiration from the Champions League and going for a Swiss system? Eight groups of six, with 12 top seeds, 12 second seeds, 12 third and 12 fourth, i.e. two from each pot per group. Then you play three games about one team from each of the other pots. So, if you're a top seed, you'd play one of the seconds, one of the thirds and one of the fourths. Once each team has played their three games, the top of the table go straight through, with second playing third, i.e. 2A v 3B, 3B v 2A, etc From there, straight knockout. Eight games instead of seven for 16 of the teams, but hopefully the final matchday should still have plenty riding on it.
