The mods never sleep. 🙂

Standard advice: Routine so your body unwinds naturally No coffee after 14:00 No devices after a set time 8 or 9. Breathing exercises Plan next day early, so it's done and not on your mind. Exercise, including walks. Personally, my body clock struggles to keep the routine for any length of time. I end up with a single short sleep cycle and then I struggle to fall back asleep. So, I have the combo of thinking of steps in a pet project. Something light and stress free, while listening to low volume history podcasts with earbuds on, to avoid getting disturbed by partner snorings etc. It has to be both, having something my mind can dwell on without thinking too hard and the low volume podcast, so my mind can shift between them. In the time it's taken me to type that out, I can be asleep. Other low volume stuff is fine too. ASMR whispers or soft spoken audio stories work too. It's to set up a consistent tone, and someone speaking about a subject for an hour does the trick. You get the added bonus of remembering some historical facts out of nowhere too.

He'd certainly have that non scoring thing in common with them. Sadly, I think we may be looking to reduce the number of them we have. I wonder if Walcott is still trying with Reading. I know you responded with good points when I was surprised that he wouldn't find something more lucrative.

Francis, with his NASL tan, record transfer fee and European success with such a talented Forest team struck me as someone who really had the world at his feet. It's so sad to hear the news and our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Ruben looking for 10 0layers before the start of the season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/66238260 Perhaps a club we could use to develop some of our fringe players.

I didn't spot it initially. But the replay shows the arms going up to the ball. A closer look shows part of the hand bend back, at the moment the ball goes past it. It didn't look like a natural movent, needing some impact to have happened. I get the point on the trajectory. It seemed to slow the ball fractionally, rather than divert it. VAR working well. The same for the goalkeeper encroachment for the initial save. Very clear on the replay.

The first squad large enough to need exponents. Mind you, there was that Redknapp season where rothmans struggled to fit everyone on the page.

You'd think with so many people there with bags full of things to club people with...but nope...

All that and lovely hair too. 🙂

Curses! I was going to go with. "Doesn't Bazunu have his own thread?" Beaten to the punch...which is just like...I'll just stop there...there is that other thread... 🙂

It's the same one where we kept our confidence and goalscoring locked in the vault last season. 🙂

They think it's all over... Good to see the subs make a difference. England did have a lot more dominance that half. But it was Earps that kept their lead. Some issues about being susceptible to covering through balls. Some issues about when to make those key passes. A little too keen sometimes, a little too wary at others. They will look to improve on this, and it will help keep everything focused. I wasn't expecting Haiti to be so decent, with a number doing well in French football. Good to see strength and depth across the competition. 3 points, and bring on the next game.

Yeah, Haiti have looked decent. Looking to catch England up the park, and exploit the space. England are without some key players, through retirement and injury. Still plenty of talent in there, but some of the former subs now have to step up to starters. England struggling recently for goals. Had it not been for the handball, they would have gone in level. Hemp looks to be the one to unlock their defence, offering that bit of creativity. Sorry to see the Haitian injury. She looked in a lot of pain, so hope for a quick recovery. Good game.
