Just as well they brought in another fullback after Livramento got injured.

Without letting AI get too carried away (it must be telling fans of every club good things :-)) The incoming players have, at best, some experience in the division VA already struggle in, with Goprou not staying with the club that got promoted in third. Dany Goprou - 25 Appearances for Rouen in 25/26, who were promoted from VA's divison. Maël Zogba - Regular for side finishing 7th in VA's league in 25/267th in VA's league in 25/26 Vincent Marcel - 23 Appearances in VA's league in 25/26. Has played in Ligue 1. Salif Lebouath - 9 games in VA's league last season The others are making a step up, to be in the third tier. They may need some time to bed in. Noam Blé - Regular in division below VA's Abou Meité - Moving from a lower league Rayane Ekra - League below VA in 25/26 for club finishing third Zaïd Amir - Regular in the divison below VA's Since VA struggled to create, and score, in the last couple of seasons, a lot is already on the shoulders of Marcel, whether as part of a midfield 2, or put further forward to support Courtet/Abi more directly. In terms of numbers, the squad is taking shape. There's a bit of versatility in there. That allows everyone to get minutes, and know they could play a part :- GK: Jean Louchet; Justin Lacombe DR: Derrick Abu; Salif Lebouath (MR) DL: Abdelwahed Wahib; Noam Blé DC: Loïck Landre; Dany Goprou; Abou Meité (DL) DC: Bryan Passi; Maël Zogba MC: Mabrouk Rouaï; Quentin Daubin MC: Samir Belloumou AML: Alain Ipiélé (MR); Zaïd Amir AMR: Rayane Ekra AMC: Daou Kader Diomandé; Vincent Marcel (BTB) FC: Gaëtan Courtet; Kylian Kouakou (Youth) FC: Charles Abi Passi is looking like a key extension, adding to the spine of the side. The following might be the preferred 11:- Louchet Abu, Wahib, Landre, Passi Rouaï, Marcel Lebouath, Diomandé, Ipiélé Courtet I still prefer Abi as a focal point. But we'll see what Courtet's role is, and how Marcel fits in. Courtet could start for Diomande, and switch during the game.

Down from high 40% chance to just over 5% for Scotland this morning.

But can he use it to track back?

New Vape shop opens in Middlesbrough...giving residents a distraction as they await the FA's decision on Tonda Eckhert. #Hacksatwork

Better to live several hours as a half decent climber, than spend a day or a century as a lion or sheep, looking up at the cliff. 🙂

You should contact the police, before they make money out of you. Oh wait, that's Krayfish...

Nice though.

FAB tip: It's easier to eat the sandwiches, without your fingers in your ears. 🙂

Every obstacle is an opportunity for an enterprising farmer.

Be careful not to boil yourself by accident in the pool!

I look forward to Matthew's moving tribute badge of Fred Dibnah's skeletal remains being transported on the Mayflower, another vital part of Stoke's heritage.

I'd only seen the headline, with a couple of pics. I was thinking that, while 32 deaths is horrible enough, that it looked as though it could have been a lot worse. And it is, but came across as much less severe.

But are you a first class coach?

Looking forward to whelk starring in the remake of...

She did. But the Binface one was funnier.

Bad time for the remake of Carry On Doctor (No, I'm on strike). 🙂

Be sure to hydrate. To compensate for the drooling, as much as for the weather. 🙂

Starmer reminded her that Count Binface ran her candidate close. 🙂

I went back and watched it. Not quite the free hits as the article led me to think. Much as normal, with a few more personal barbs at the government. Apparently, there were afters between Badenoch and Phillipson, as Bad3noch's "bitter class warrior" went down badly.

Looks as though Badenoch enjoyed her free hit on PMQs today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2jn1k4le8o
