Negative on the free.

£6 for a team, £20 for Twelve teams and credits can be saved for normal PL FF next year.

Got a code in my email somewhere to get a free T20 English Cricket Fantasy game entry in with the £6.

Euro 2012 WAGS.

Most certainly better viewing than England's matches will be.

Two more days

Is it me or has this managed to go right under the radar this year, there is normally a lot more excitement by now

[Darkon]

Think it depends on where you are and what the expectations are`? It's right up in every media where I am right now. Getting really excited about the prospect of seeing some footy right now. But perhaps it's down to the low expectations towards England right now?

Beeb Gossip.

Hodgson's problems as England fly out to Poland for Euro 2012 have intensified after it emerged that Kick It Out, English football's leading anti-racism organisation, is considering putting together a robust response condemning his handling of the Ferdinand affair.

The waters are sufficiently muddied, so they see an opportunity.

As leading anti racism campaigners Kick it Out think it is a disgrace that you do not pick a player who has only played in 9 of the last 36 England matches. It is clearly about racism even though the 'victim ' had only played 1 of the 7 previous England games in that calendar year prior to the incident that has supposedly triggered this racist snub. It is clearly nothing to do do with that fact he is utterly crocked and not capable of playing at that level that often...

Yeah, maybe, in which case the whole row is based on people making assumptions from afar.

Or maybe not.

Unless you are privy to Hodgson's thinking, you can't say.
