When I say “know” she’s met him about three times and knows what he looks like. My sister reads trashy tabloid magazines like US & People etc. We don’t have much in common.

I have to agree on some of the points. You can tell it’s the highlight of the year for people like Mark Wright. He takes it far too seriously. Damian Lewis gets a pass as his wife died a few months ago. I’ve watched a few and it’s surprising how shit the female footballers are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 13, 2022 Hey, Mark Wright single handedly knocked out Leeds in the cup last season, let’s have a bit of respect. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 ‘Arry Redknapp was up to his old tricks last night. The rules are that in the second half the “celebrity” keepers must go in goal. England had some actor (who i’ve not heard of) come on for David James at half time but then immediately did his hamstring. ‘Arry wanted to put James back in goal but was “going mad” apparently as he wasn’t allowed. He was told he had to put an outfield celebrity in goal. He decided not to make the change and left this poor guy who was clearly in a lot of pain play the second half and the penalty shoot out (which they lost). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
