I can't bear to read tomorrow's papers after England's exit from the World Cup. It's not as if we don't know what the pundits will say. Some will blame the pampered, overpaid players. Others will blame the manager, calling for his head if he hasn't fallen on his sword already. Expect several commentators to declare that it's time for the so-called golden generation to retire from international football, having failed to win a single trophy. Some may even be quite kind, pointing out that the Premier League is more gruelling than the Bundislega. Almost all will quote that John Cleese line from Clockwise: "It's not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand." (To read more, click here.)
