    Bird of prey’s violent reign in Flamstead could soon come to an end, according to parish council

    • France U21 5-3 England U21
    • Carsley suffers friendly defeat on managerial return

    So much for taking the easy option. Lee Carsley’s second coming as England’s Under-21 head coach ended in a chastening defeat against a talented France side that could prove to be a major stumbling block to his hopes of retaining the European title.
