Not a big footie fan but I think GB is damned if he does/damned if he doesn't in this case. He can't say he wants England to fail for obvious reasons, but if he says he wants them to do well, he'll get reminded of whatever he said in the past.

Don't want to feel TOO sorry for him, but he's in a no-win here.

Yes. This new, happy, "I love you all" Gordon is so transparent it is laughable.

As reported today, despite his demonstrable past hatred of the England footy team.

I wonder why the complete change of heart?
