You could always use binoculars, which every Saints fan will have ready for next season..? I'm with you with the dubious aim of the sport, and if I wanted to watch that sort of thing I'd imagine a busy 'spoons on Saturday night might be cheaper..

As a crap grass roots player at least I could run around and be a PITA to the opposition, but Downs just looked so lackadaisical let alone not being able to head or control the ball or shoot (or make runs, or make space, or draw defenders away etc.). BBD was just unfit and a bit of a tub and played in the wrong position, Archer was obviously frustrated with himself by how he was playing. As Chez and others say, Beattie played himself into form with physical effort. Downs has shown absolutely nothing and for the supporters he's more frustrating than any of the others.

I didn't watch but the match report I've just read commented how it broke up the flow of the game. I intensely dislike Infantino and his minions and hope that the next time he's up Trump's arse he gets stuck.

FF's personal issues were... personal.

Well, I dipped into a stream with Japanese commentary and there they were ordering Lice.. I kid you not!

Yes, but although I'm sure he watches all our games and can assess our players on the pitch it's not his job to have widespread knowledge of all the different leagues: that's the professionals' task. Reminds of Rupert Lowe asking about Tommy Forecast and being told he was &*^% and the staff member explaining it was his job to know. Lowe still thinks he knows better, the objectionable man.

I don't often write here what I'm thinking, but what a load of *****. Plus the article is illustrated by a random lower level football ground; don't even think it is Eastleigh, which would at least have a local connection. I doubt Palmeiras have much money anyway, and wouldn't even pay him as much as we are.

How good was he with the bar at the normal height?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2026/jun/09/david-squires-world-cup-reimagined-gianni-infantinos-west-side-story-cartoon Oof.. They haven't opened comments yet, I wonder why..?

Yes, just your common or garden hard core pornographer/pimp. On the Millwall forum one of the them who used to work on the print confirmed that he handled some real nasty stuff from Sullivan.

Stop making strawman arguments, that's not what they said. Can I point out that your reply is to someone pointing out we don't know yet what our final keeping line up will be. No point the patronising laughing, which is more appropriate for the rest of us about you. Gawd, I'm getting grumpy in my old age!

Found someone with a similar name singing at Italia90.

Crikey, I'd forgotten about Ramsdale. Forgetting about Bazunu was deliberate..

No, from just general chatting to people it's very specific to the location of where it's being held this time. People had concerns about Qatar and human rights and sports washing (ditto Russia) but even more so this time. At least previous countries tried to appear to be welcoming.. My latest conversation was with a Pompey supporter down the allotment yesterday, and he was very rude about Trump and his US. Let's hope the Scottish and English supporters do us proud with voicing those opinions..

Well, all of Boris's mistresses seem to have been blonde, as well as his various wives - it's so easy to lose track. But please don't introduce that other idea, I have a strong gag reflex. 🙂 With regard to injunctions and all that it's handy that after he got one of his girlfriends to procure an abortion another one refused and then sued him for child maintenance. The advantage of having such things reported in open court is that they are then a matter of public record... It might not get reported in The Telegraph or Mail but other publications are available..

I agree! But you're only 58? Had you down as much older..

Preferably out the window, surely?

Gosh! Interesting mention of Boris Johnson.. he does like a blonde, doesn't he?

Another idea.. from a very respectable ~80 year old season ticket holder to whom I told the good news about Peretz. Regarding the Middlesborough games, and I quote " all Saints fans should wear t-shirts with a picture of Hellberg's broken heart and his single tear on, together with two fingers". I told her that was vulgar dear.. When do the t-shirts come out? We both can't wait..

I didn't think there were many public toilets there Verbal. These days it's probably all country lane laybys and steamed up windows.

At Italia 90 in Cagliari all the FSA (football supporter's association) volunteers went off for a meal at a local hotel.. The Hotel Flora.. I wonder if it's still.. ahem.. the same.. I'd buy any of them a pint if they did!

Is that MattPB a parody account? Or just somebody with more issues than just supporting Middlesboro? Henry Winter I can understand as he used to work for a parody newspaper along with Alison Pearson, Allister Heath and other right wing mouth frothers at The Telegraph, and it seems to have infected him.

Line them up?

You'd very much have to come to that conclusion, fingers etc crossed. This place is always trying to predict reading the tea leaves, of perhaps more appropriately, the entrails!

We heard you the first time..
