Celebrity Masterchef seems to be running out of venues, from Michelin starred restaurants to a building site. Whereas John Torrode seemed very ill at ease in his hi-vis and helmet Greg Wallace resembled a foreman.
I was planning to write a bit more and then I wasn't going to bother but thought I would note down the above observation before packing up. Also just to note one positive from England's game which was Phil Neville summarising on the radio when Hungary scored to comment that if they held on it would be the biggest result in their history. Whilst wondering how their current crop of players 1-0 up in a pre season friendly against a well criticised England team would compare to the 1954 World Cup runners up of Puskas, Albert, Kocsis et al the commentator (John Murray I think) quickly highlighted the ridiculousness of this statement by asking if it would be better than the team of Puskas that beat England 6-3 and, a few months later, 7-1. Sheepishly Neville replied that he hadn't been born then. So now when he says history he obviously means within his own history and not giving way to hyperbole, or an Englishman over egging the abilities of footballers. Also how easy it is to forget the exploits of once great teams who had 1 golden generation and are now struggling today. Can't quite think of any parallels just yet.
