Love watching the standing jumps, for some reason it always seems the most impressive exercise. Dummett was NBA standard!

Well, not that I’m likely to be on the list (pity the fools…), but I’ve been away too and neither did I.

Watching this in a Scottish hotel. Already murmurs of Y viva Espana in the air! They better not knock the telly off if we’re winning!

My rosy crystal ball predicts early ‘fret’ and then finish on a highly respectable 74 points.

Spain 1-1 England

Wasn’t it just! Whilst Watkins had a lot to do, have to applaud Palmer’s incisive pass. Just perfect. Alongside the pass from Gordon’s cameo as our best thus far.

Follow @Shearergol’s lead/do what you normally do!

Yours sounds a bit like Shazam to be fair. “ Lal -A-Sam!!” 🪄

Spain 2-0 France Netherlands 2-3 England

It’s always exciting having new/existing good young players to come through. Not at the expense of guaranteed first team starters though or, as things stand financially, being able to fill gaps elsewhere.

Love the Schar clip in that. Just after meets Tripps, about 3.00 mins.

Welcome Phil, was your grant as much of a tosser as he seemed? or This is a new role at a club with big aspirations, what makes you think you are the right person for the job? and/or What is the remit of your new role and how what, in your opinion, will be most important to ensure it adds value?

I’ve heard he’s learning Portuguese. (… pssst I haven’t but some people are craving rumours and I’m a helpful sort).

I’d put him in a, modern, slightly toned down, version of the mad bastard Neville Southall and John Burridge category. Which I can’t help liking.

Guessing they’re probably angelic in comparison to how they used to be, but 41 fouls is some going mind! Always been the Millwall of South American football.

This make anybody else so pumped for the new season they want to run through the streets humming the Rocky theme?

That would seem timely and no doubt enable some exciting replacements (maybe not at RB).

Pleased he wasn’t and glad he score his pelanty.

That was equivalent to his 25m swimming certificate prior to his channel swim.

Both teams have games the next day, assuming as there’s a cup (sigh) involved on Saturday that our Saturday side will be stronger. No idea though.

Only one way we for going for him, see muck spreading re Wor Anthony, and I’m not into it.

Probably depends on the likely right back.Would guess that Almiron covers far more ground without (and with) the ball. A Chiesa type on the right might be ok if Tino is covering more ground than Tripps.

Load of bollocks, me thinks.

Found a canny one

Rough translation: “Milan's transfer market has a slow trend, at least in this very first phase. The management is evaluating several 360-degree situations both inbound and outbound. One of them certainly concerns the situation of Malick Thiaw: the German defender has a large market abroad. NEWCASTLE BUT NOT ONLY - In recent days Milan have had a direct confrontation with Newcastle for Thiaw that manager Howe likes so much. The Magpies probed the Rossoneri club's readiness for the sale of the strong German defender who is attracted to the Premier League: his agent Stipic already in January had started probing several tracks in that league. Contacts are expected in the coming days with other English companies that have shown some interest. THE SITUATION - Milan's idea would be to hold Thiaw back because the defensive department needs reinforcements and not outgoing revolutions. Clearly, in the face of really important offers, in the order of EUR 35/40 million, he would be in a position to at least have to evaluate them. Malick is waiting for news about the future and would like to improve the current salary of 800 thousand euros per season. And the Premier League temptation gets stronger and stronger.”
