Why do I listen to a phone-in on the England game?

Some bloke saying England have better players than Spain, that there is a referee conspiracy against England and that he could score 18 goals for Manchester City because he (the middle-aged caller) is a better player than Raheem Sterling. He made all of his points with a pious and self-righteous seriousness.

😂

I swear that the people who call these phone-ins do so because their opinions on football are so inane that nobody else will listen to them. So the whole country has to. I'm turning it off.

As he sits in the easy chair, drink in hand, rubbing his beer belly and becoming a legend in his own mind. Oh, and I bet he's never been on a pitch in a true organized match.

@Burnley123 I assumed you’re a Burnley fan but apologies if I’m wrong? I’m a Brentford fan, the team Burnley signed James Tarkowski from.

@TopOfTheWorld Ahhh. You are right.

Nah, we like him very much and £2.5 mil was a steal. He replaced £25 mil Michael Keane after being on the bench for a year and has played better this year than Keane has for Everton.

We got Andre Grey from you too and he was good but really arrogant. Currently on the Watford bench after they paid silly money for him.

I remember playing Brentford in the third tier when you had Robert Taylor and Carl Asaba up front lol.

@Burnley123 Robert Taylor and Carl Asaba, that takes me back. I remember seeing Burnley with Chris Waddle playing for you. Yes Gray always came across as arrogant but he did bang in the goals. I loved Tarky as a player but unfortunately he tarnished things a bit at the end by refusing to play for us against you once he knew Dyche wanted him.

@SW-User Nah, these morons exits in every pub in the country. I hope not to generalise, but I think most 606 callers voted for Brexit.

@Burnley123 You should try living outside England, there's only so much apologising you can do. I'm sure there must be some other nationality in my famy tree I can cling to.
