If we still had Redmond, perhaps we could have got Pep's interest in a swap. Now we'd have to reluctantly part with Mo. 🙂

Matthew Etherington sacked by Crawley after 32 days.

Gakpo to Liverpool. Poor of them not to let us sign him, and then tap him up. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64104472

I am Nathan Jones! 🙂

An understanding of xG is also key. Seeing how many you might have scored, is just as good as actually scoring, getting points, not being relegated, not making staff redundant, not reducing finance for youth teams, women's team and not wallowing in the lower leagues for years. Just as good. 🙂

Does LBJ's (not the US Prez) dad look a bit like Messi, in this pic? If so, LBJ...CHDAJFU? Is this what our buying nippers plan was leading up to? Would Nathan be just the manager to get LBJ into our club? Merry gift swapping and feasting!

I think it's only fair that Border Force are sent on a military campaign, to show that their skills are transferable too. 🙂

Study

Rangers get a 1-0 win over Ross County. From the Beeb report... "The precarious nature of the lead had Rangers hearts in mouths as Kazeem Olaigbe burst clear only for the on-loan Southampton midfielder to find the side-netting, while Rabbi Matondo was denied one-on-one by Laidlaw late on."

Promising youngster, Neil McCann, 48 ... 🙂 I remember him being linked with moves for years before finally leaving Scottish football for Saints. While he had injuries, he might have done better with an earlier move to help him improve.

My understanding is that everyone went into the meeting room, only to be ejected by stewards five minutes later. 🙂

My first thought was that it was going to be a spin off from the What is happening to our country thread, where Soggy had identified culprits and we'd get to vote on their punishment. Quite a let down in the end. 🙂

I popped in to see if LCQF was a group whose rights I should have been supporting. But it's only City in the Cup. They're no Lincoln. We'll be fine. 🙂

Interesting article on the number of ACL injuries. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64032536

Any dragons in it? 🙂

Bloomin' met office. The way they've used their influence to slowly take over Britain's energy infrastructure over the last 40 years has been shocking. Worse, we still have no clear near term implementation of fossil, renewable or nuclear. Because once the Met office took over, they then spent their time on forecasting cloud movements and giving travel updates. It's appalling and I feel for decades of clear sighted, selfless governments who would have otherwise never let any of this happen. 🙂

If the once every 2 year idea didn't get very far, who knows about one every three. But it's not about sport, player safety or common sense. It's just about how much money everyone can share around. So with enough support from some FIFA regions, and possibly bailing out super League clubs through an also expanded club cup, it could end up being anything. Looking forward to a world cup every 4 years plus during specified planetary alignments.

Track

Starts off with him talking about two of the world's best players going head to head. I'm just going to keep watching for the dates they're joining us... ... oh... 🙂

He'll age a decade in the next few months. 🙂
