I realise the British motor industry is in decline but might there be any other suitable works or factory teams left in the competition that could fit the bill? |

Yes, seen it. Pass the sick-bag etc. I hope he kicks off the World Cup by taking a penalty, using the technique perfected by Diana Ross three decades ago, and falls flat on his voluminous arse. |

Joe Mercer is a prize-winner. But I think Stan’s first England cap was in Alf Ramsey’s last match against Portugal (he says, as if he hasn’t just consulted Wikipedia) although the sentiments about ‘greatest manager England has ever had’ still, arguably, have a certain resonance in his case.
Still one more caretaker manager to go though … [Post edited 5 Dec 0:04]

Points, with distinction, for Howard Wilkinson (x2) and Stuart Pearce. Deduction for ‘Ben’ Carsley (it’s Lee, of course). |

I guess. Will have to completely re-evaluate my pub quiz repertoire now though. Damn.
Incidentally, am I right in thinking that ‘Robby Bobson’ was the manager of Fulchester United’s arch-enemy in the Viz comic strip ‘Billy the Fish’? If not it should have been. [Post edited 5 Dec 0:08]

Yes, Walter Winterbottom, England’s first official manager. He’s the one that eludes most people. So, one to go then … |

Pedestrians that don’t at least raise a hand by way of acknowledgment when you stop for them at zebra crossings. |

Back in the day the Ub*r drivers used fog lights to indicate their availability for hire (allegedly). Completely illegal, of course, but hey … |

Well, you’re clearly unfamiliar with the popular 1950’s Disney TV series ‘Zorro’ then, Pinner. Herewith an excerpt from the theme tune:
"He is polite, but the wicked take flight,
when they catch the sight of Zorro.
He's friend of the weak, and the poor, and the meek,
this very unique Senor Zorro."
I rest my case. |

Fans who, despite the fact that their team might be losing, suddenly start shrieking with excitement and pointing when they see brief, random crowd shots of themselves on the big screen. Your team’s losing, FFS. Look miserable. |

Or ‘rode’ in the case of the two contributors who have brought Ms Portman to our attention? |

Assuming my current obsession with ‘the sport of kings’ (that’s real tennis to you lot) endures, I think I’d like to have a crack at playing on each of the 45 active courts in the world. They’re mainly situated in the UK, France, Australia and the US (the US ones can wait until the present incumbent of the White House has f****d off though). |

Just taken me back to the Oval, 30th September 1972, there, Colin: Focus (with a cameo appearance from Jack Bruce), ELP, Genesis, Argent, Wishbone Ash and, er … Fudd. Another world. |

Looks like it’s pistols at dawn with Lblock then. And may the best man win.
Alternatively, if that’s a bit early, how about pistols at half-time? Would make a change from the crossbar challenge. [Post edited 4 Dec 19:52]

Seconded. Can’t be arsed with any of it, TBH. Particularly as Agent Orange will be sticking his oar in. Happy to just catch up on Saturday morning when, hopefully, it’ll all be over. |

Well you got one, Kensal. (Actually, it could be argued that you got two: Robert/Bobby Robson, I hadn’t factored that in!) |
