  1. I did laugh that even in a group of back stabbing snakes jostling for position to replace their leader, Gove manages to outdo the others in his useless duplicitousness and get fired. Another one who will never change. I only heard snippets from tha liaison committee, but he got savaged. A bit more of that, a lot sooner would have been good.
  2. The diet of champions! ๐Ÿ™‚
  3. Part of a one of the dominant teams, so they will have had players very capable of making the step up. Glad to see we're reinforcing from there.
  4. I prefer club football to internationals, and have seen a fair number of dull internationals over the years. So, I wasn't expecting too much. England's early goal meant that game management kicked in early here. Which is as it should be, but doesn't always make for a spectacular game. A few of the players had to check themselves once or twice to pull back from a possession losing attack. There was a fair bit of pressure to get off to a winning start too, and was evident in the play. Austria forced a couple of saves fairly late on. England didn't get things their own way, and will be looking to create more. As Austria had to push up a bit, England looked to exploit the space, making for a more interesting closing spell. There was a decent shout for an Austrian penalty. The otherwise excellent Bright allowed space for a shot, and there was the chance of some late drama. It's been posted about the crowd composition. Lots of kids, but I thought there was a lot of noise and support.
  5. Yeah, they couldn't go wrong for me with those colours. The Aquaman homage was an added bonus.๐Ÿ™‚
  6. Once they have been scoffed, they're scone.
  7. โ€œ She said he shouldnโ€™t be allowed to get on the train, and I think the words she used was โ€˜at all costsโ€™,โ€ said officer Slug Deadly, referring to orders from Akron's new chief of police, Cressida Dick. ๐Ÿ™‚
  8. Fruit scones, with little orange bits in, are my faves. Only a little of anything with those as are so nice. What flavour jam with the scone?
  9. That was dawning on me as I was typing. ๐Ÿ™‚
  10. Funny first post, followed up by interesting follow ups, with something I didn't know. Who says the posts are pointless? ๐Ÿ™‚
  11. Jam first by tradition. However, I think it tastes better the other way. Although I fear social pariah status if suggesting that in a local cafe.
  12. They experienced that desperate run in, with the rest of us. That would have given them plenty of clarity on what was needed. ๐Ÿ™‚
  13. Another decent kit. I like the colours. The design is different and looks more stylish than garish. And should the Justice League come calling....
  14. Interesting. There are a number of actual kits with a lot of detailing, beyond most concept kits. Our own has those lines over it. The technology seems able to allow that, and maintain the profit.
  15. The squad get to try out the new third kit before general release... Note the protective headgear with Saints, bravely and boldly, at the forefront of preventing concussion injuries. Note also the small midriff fighter plane: celebrating our nation's brave and bold heritage, while also keeping grabby opponents at bay during corners.
  16. It's been a promising window so far, but those would really take the biscuit. ๐Ÿ™‚
  17. How are you at defending from corners? If you can do that, there's a striker spot for you. ๐Ÿ™‚
