HELLO England fans. Jude Bellingham here. Marauding midfielder and national hero. Let me tell you straight off, no one was as gutted as me when we bollocksed things up against the Argies.
But after a week to reflect and decompress, I thought I’d share a few thoughts from our World Cup campaign. An insider’s view of what it was really like. Might be interesting.
I think the most shocking thing that happened in America and Mexico was… hang on. Bear with me a sec. Oi! Oi you! You can’t park there, pal. I said ’you can’t park there’. Read the sign. Read it. What does it say?
Yeah. ‘This lock-up garage is in use 24 hours a day. Do not block access or you will be towed.’ Simple, innit? Listen mate, I need to get in there at all times. Yes, even now. I’ve got my Nissan Micra in there, so you’ll block me in. I need to go out in a minute to collect my Mum from her keep-fit class.
Am I who? What? Am I Jude Bellingham? Yeah, I’m Jude Bellingham, of Real Madrid and England. Yeah, I did score all those goals at the World Cup. You’re welcome. What do I drive a Micra for with all my money? Keep your nose out, pal. I just like how it handles and I’m investing my money in property, if you must know.
Listen, this doesn’t change the fact you’re blocking my lock-up with your white van. I don’t care if you’re only dropping a few bits off. They all say that. Get it shifted. No, I’m not taking a selfie. Not till you move your van. Tell all your mates I’m a prick in real life, then. See if I care.
The Argentina game? Not that again. Yeah, I agree, we were shit after we scored. You could have done better then? The state of you. Belly hanging over your cargo shorts. What are you, 50? 55? You should be embarrassed mate.
I bet you’ve got a shirt with my name on the back, you sad bastard. Pathetic were we? Tell you what, why don’t you take it up with Thomas Tuchel, the great big German prick. Ha. You like that do you? Finally something agree on. Now then, how’s about you be a good fella and move that van.
‘Course I’ll sign your copy of The Sun. Diamond mate. Thanks a lot. You take care now. Where was I? Oh yeah, the World Cup. Time’s creeping on, so let’s just say: sorry we lost, I did my best, let’s add four more years of hurt and leave it at that, yeah? My Mum hates it when I’m late.
