Breaks don DJ Tayo chatted to Skrufff this week a day before England crashed out of the European Championships to Portugal and prophesised the game's outcome almost exactly.

"They'll be some glorious heroic failure somewhere along the line," Tayo predicted," after they made us all sweat it out for the last two weeks."

Despite his uncannily accurate predictions, The Mob Records chief is likely to be highly disappointed, admitting he's been watching the games 'obsessively'.

"I care deeply about football, I'm an Arsenal fan and I go every week," he admitted, adding that he shares his passion with more than a few fellow DJs.

"Damian Harris from Skint Records is a big Arsenal fan, I sit next to him at Arsenal," he revealed.

"I've never seen Judge Jules at Highbury though I see Gilles Peterson sometimes, who's someone I've known for years. I also bump into Adam Freeland's manager sometimes and I also met Paul Jackson from Circulation recently at the FA Cup semi final in Birmingham. There was a bit of a DJ convention outside, because Layo & Bushwacka are big Arsenal fans too."
