Doesn't fit the agenda. Sad.

What a sexist thing to say, or assume another's attitudes through a distorted prism. I, for example, thought most of the games were poor from a football perspective but because England were involved a better watch (for example) than the recent England men's games, now they were bad! It's more some of the media response which has continued the hyperbole driven coverage all football increasingly gets these days. Rather than claim Kelly (my player of the tournament btw for her crossing ability alone) is better than Beckham, just state what is true. She's a bloody good footballer, no need to turn it into a gender driven competition. That to me feels more condescending than flattering. I may be wrong or (almost certainly) not explaining myself well but jumping to instant judgement probably doesn't help.

Is Angus Gunn still available?

Ok, I'll say it. After a day of hearing how the England team are superwomen, popping off to sort the middle east out and making lepers whole again through a touch of their hand . . . . . It was a shit game. The levels of skill variable and apart from the 3-4 top teams rather poor through the tournament I'm pleased England won and hope it further raises the profile of the woman's game. But I wish they'd stop trying to ape the worst aspects of the men's game. Confabulating the history and achievements of the men and women's game is pathetic and pointless. So well done but some perspective please. Bank holiday? FFS, we should've got one of them for getting 12points.

Fabrice, is that you.

It was something like AI might dish up if you asked for one. For some reason it reminded me of - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb0KC7BEw4Y For the somewhat random quality.

Who was the old Solent commentator with a masters degree in stating the bloody obvious. Used to drive my Saints anxiety to mega levels with a throwaway "the last thing Saints want to do now" in the 87th min.

Wife says you can come and have a gander of ours. But she'd appreciate a photo first.

First Bazunu clean sheet ?

It may be a while before they do. I didn't realise just how weirdly biased the Scots PL and other competitions are towards the old firm. - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/crk6r7jk3lxo If Russ manages to finish 3rd in anything up there he really does deserve a medal. Laughing but aware this is where the English game is likely to go in future sadly.

The Rangers forums remain hilariously deluded about this however. Silly, uncompetitive league imo. Russ will fit right in.

I use Windscribe vpn to connect to streaming sites or if I wish to fake my location. It was working fine when I tested it this morning.

Best friend of 42yrs is a Pompey fan. Never a problem as we've always respected (if frequently ridiculed) each others passion for our club. Took me to Fratton once, disappeared when he realised I'd left my Saints badge on my leather jacket. Lucky I did notice before the delightful locals were able to. He has enjoyed the St Mary's on many occasions, last time got more annoyed than myself about 'spam's cheating which was quite funny. His hatred of Burnley's fans originated over their behaviour when Fraser buggered his knee in 2015, not helped by their attitude towards women evident in the pubs before and after the game. Such modern gents. He hates the drunken twat with bells, I'm not a great fan of 'the gun' song as it shows lack of imagination imo. We continue to take great pleasure in each other team's problems, but don't personalise it. After all I like to know he's just a phone call away when the Skates cock up.

Yep, couldn't even afford the real Patrick Stewart to "Make it so"
