If music be the food of love, play on

My captain didn't play in England's 2-1 win against Tunisia on Monday, and thus, I foresee myself spending much of this World Cup releasing an album, full of nothing but songs moaning about Gaz's lack of game time!

He may not be starting, but Cahill's presence in Russia means the British media are at least taking photos of him in Russian art galleries for me, so I can't whine too much.

Track 1 on the album: 'Another Day of Gaz', is a riff on 'Another Day of Sun' from La La Land (if you haven't heard it, check it out first), so the banter isn't lost.

Hmm, the video is slightly over the 100 Mb blogger limit, so here's the Dopbox link to it! 🎸 Notice how I don't refer to the other England players in the song as their actual names (Kyle MacLachlan, Harry Styles, 'Jerry Maguire', 😂). It's a mark of disrespect, that I don't think the men important enough to bother learning their actual names.

I have the 'cos at least France start N'Golo Kanté, and now and then they play Girouuuuuuuud' part stuck in my head. Here I was, on the train home from my Institute's BBQ on Wednesday it, singing it:

Track 2 on the album: 'Gareth Southgate'. It's meant to be a parody of 'City of Stars' from La La Land, altho I'm not sure if my quivering voice and hesitant finger work made that clear enough! 😂😂

Personally, I think I'm a better singer than Emmas Watson and Stone, although that's not me being boastful. A cat being strangled to death sounds better than those two. 💩

Tomorrow, England play Panama, and as the British press have been so kind as to leak the starting XI, I know ahead of the game that Gary Cahill won't be starting for that, either. So expect me to take my grumbling up a level. I'm not covering La La Land songs any more; I'm covering The Greatest Showman songs.
