Stripey McStripe Shirt

At the risk if sounding controversial, I have a feeling the ref had an interest in Morocco winning....

Honestly, as ridiculous as it sounds, I think Putin is more trustworthy these days. They're clearly both massive, massive bell ends but at least Putin has an ounce of intelligence so understands the repercussions of what he does.

I don't currently own a bike, not really have much to me to cycle at the moment, even if I did. I am, however, considering getting a cheap-ish bike to commute 5 or so miles to work and back, and am considering getting a turbo-trainer for use in the evenings (difficult to get out the house for too long with young kids, but hopefully still me free time at home in the evenings). Any recommendations (for bike and trainer)?

Are we still favourites for promotion?

Not today.

Isn't this just the Nobel Peace Prize equivalent of Thierry Henry wearing a Pompey shirt once?

If something is broken, consider breaking it some more.

Embarrassed Artur Boruc?

Leicester home.

I have little doubt that it'll be either Ipswich or Norwich away.

Have just seen the French Super Cup was also played at the weekend. In Kuwait. Honestly surprised the Premier League / FA haven't already used this as an excuse to get things played abroad. Shame really as would have been interesting to see what huge crowds Crystal Palace would have attracted this season.

This guy. Every time.

How I felt about him in the last 3/4 of last season...

Actually, just their version of the Charity Shield I think. Still, seems a nonsense being played out there.

Spanish Super Cup Final on at the moment. El Classico. In Saudi. What the fuck's that all about? Not going to be long before the FA Cup / Carabao cup final is over there too I reckon.

Has he actually been sold, rather than loan? Have a feeling we'll look back at this in a few years time as a silly bit of business if so.

Just to confirm, no real change here today.

Lol. They've made you look like a right mug.

He nearly scored against Wrexham. Could have defined his whole career in English football had he got his foot to it.

Imperial weather.

Bit wet and breezy here (up north), but nothing exceptional. I'll keep you all updated if anything changes.

The brand of soap, Imperial Leather. Why isn't it Imperial Lather?

That is highly insulting (to mince).

The cricket equivalent of Russ-ball? Don't worry about trying to score, just pass it around the back for hours until you bore the opposition into submission.

Thought that waiter in the foreground looked dodgy.
