England vs Austria | Wednesday 2nd June 2021

Wow, that's quite young for an international footballer. Are you sure he's not older?

I'm certain! It's quite a revelation.

Why is the Warrington weasel in the team?

I was under the impression that this game is a warm-up fixture for the European Championships that are starting soon, so what is the point in having him in the side?

Also, it’s not really fair on him, IMHO.

But if he 'accidentally' bumps into one of the other England players and they are out for a month, he is back in, shurely?

Keane just needs a can of special brew to complete the look.

Just listening to R5L, which has imparted the startling news that 17 year old Jude Bellingham starts for England.

17 years old!

I tell thee!

Think you must be mistaken.
If he was 17 years old we’d have heard about it surely.

You may be right, bit I'm sure they mentioned it two or three times, maybe to ensure we heard it correctly!

Who are we talking about? ;)

It’s like ‘17’ is his surname.
They just have to mention it.

The year is 3045. ITV are still using Bittersweet Symphony for England games.

And Jude Bellingham is still 17

It seems like he has been 17 for three or four years.

Isn't this the lad who when he left Birmingham City's crèche, they 'retired' his shirt number?

If he isn't Pele/Maradonna/Cruyff rolled in to one tonight, I will be disappointed.
