Well there I was walking round Soho Square this lunchtime munching on a rather tasty lamb kebab wrap (basically a seekh kebab in a roti) when I noticed four outside broadcast vans and a whole host of TV crews and newspaper snappers outside what I later discovered to be the HQ of the FA.

I got stopped by a TV news reporter

"Excuse me sir can I ask you a few questions"
"OK" says Cook
"did you watch the game last night"
"No"
"have you heard anything about the game?"
"Only people moaning about it in the office."
"What do you think about England losing to Croatia"
"I don't really care."
"And finally what do you think about England being kicked out of the championship?
"Well hopefully there will be less Football on TV"
"You don't follow football do you?" asks the pretty young reporter by now sensing that its all a waste of time.
"No" says Cook

Well I guess there is no future for me on Match of the Day
