England expects

A typical headline you might see on tomorrows football pages. Now our destiny in qualifying for the European championships is back in our own hands - we've a much better chance of messing it up!

Not sure how true it is but the 'England Expects' thing is the signalling Nelson requested to be run up the flag pole at Trafalgar. He'd actually had a more flag intensive message, but was persuaded to change it to keep the flags easy.

Wikipedia says it was just confides replacing expects - I was thinking it was going to be some over long manager style request with a few too many buzzwords of the day.
