My attitude to the mountain of commemorative events and programmes coming up in July about 1966 is bring it on as all it does is emphasise how hopeless England have been in the last half a century- the one thing which could end my enjoyment of course is England winning in France this summer and, in a tournament that looks to be wide open at the moment, I wouldn't completely rule that out.
