Freddie the saviour!!

the talisman is back and what a mess he finds his team in? feel sorry for the guy. walking slap bang into the middle of a crisis in his comeback test in real long time. in a strange way, it must comfort him and disappoint him at the same time. familiarity does that to people methinks. at the time of writing this, freddie finds himself in with the tail and next to nothing on the board. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
if he digs them out of this hole, he will be hailed as the saviour all over again and if he fails, he will have failed himself. tough luck if you ask me.
the weight of the united kingdom's sporting aspirations can't be an easy burden to carry. especially after becks defected to the land of 'soccer' and dollars. all those ankle surgeries now begin to make sense.
for the sake of struggling heroes, i hope he makes a 100. and the english papers will have fodder for the rest of the summer!

all the best freddie....
