Huzzah!

Good news everyone, and it's come from the world of sport.








England manager Steve McLaren has declared that the number of friendly games being played by England will be cut, from 20 to 18 in a four year period, starting in 2008.

Now you might think that such a move would be a bad one. Surely with less games, our players would have less time to get together and prepare for yet another fruitless assault on the World Cup or European Championships?

But no, far from it. In fact it's a moment of genius from the boffins at the FA. From now on, we'll see much less of the most mind-numbingly boring football team to watch in the world on our TV screens and it might even mean two weeks less of unjustified tabloid hype.

Happy Days!
