Dear Mr Southgate

[douglas9401]

Please excuse Harry from games while he recovers from his recent mishap.

Yours

His Mum.

Maybe she should get him to join the Scottish team.

Mum certainly hasn't done little Harry any favours. Cue some witty banter from opposing fans.

I doubt he'd get a game Susan .

That may provoke an own goal while he's out in his backyard.

Reminds me of a close friend of mine who ran out into the middle of a Nat Division 3 rugby match in the London-Surrey area when her 18 stone son, age 27, was flattened. 

She was greeted with "What the eff are you doing here, Mum? - eff off." I was amazed that the story didn't emerge during his best man's speech, the marriage a month on from this event happening.

I didn't know Southgate was an Aber - what name does he post under ?

[DTCwordfan]

Canary - take your pick of three anagrams as his user name:

Shot-a-huge-target

Treat-to-huge-shag

He's-a-tough-target

Canary doesn't do humour, DTC.
