Tony
Blair used his 'special relationship' with God last night for a prayer in which
he asked that England 'beat the pants' off Switzerland in the Euro 2004 championships,
tonight. In a rare comment on his religion the Prime Minister admitted that without
divine intervention the team will be flying home. It was also revealed,
yesterday, that French President Jacques Chirac may have been behind Zidane's
unlikely goal fest in injury time on Sunday. Chirac broke into his traditional
17 course evening meal to sit cross leggedly whilst humming a chantra for the
last ten minutes of the game against England.
