Getafe me! Said his girlfriend (allegedly).

Absolutely sure he would still have chosen to go to Pompey if Bournemouth or Saints had shown any interest in him.

Went earlier in the year and stayed in Cavtat, just down the road from Mlini. Depending how long you stay, an evening for a few drinks/meal in Cavtat is nice with a few bars on the harbour front. There is a boat you can get relatively cheaply to Dubrovnik and a nice way to get to the city. Also a bus service. Alternatively, use Uber, which is significantly cheaper than normal taxis. Walk of the walls is a good thing to do, but buy the Dubrovnik pass which gets you into various other attractions too for the same price. Don't eat/drink anywhere on the main streets. Explore off the beaten track to find something more authentic. But if you do really, really want to splash out there is a Michelin star restaurant on the walls (Restaurant 360) which I also recommend, but be prepared to take out a second mortgage to afford it. On the bright side, I did get £50 off because a bird shat on my wife's dinner.

I can.

Or one JWP rising to a Lavia in a couple of years.

Agreed. Wouldn't be that surprised if he is the new Jermaine Jenas in a couple of years.

What is this weird new story every time England women get past about the quarter final of a tournament. Don't think I'd ever heard anyone remotely mention it until a couple of years ago, now it seems like a big deal whenever the government (rightly) says "don't be so fucking ridiculous".

Just logged on. Some old bloke in the pink goalkeeper shirt asking if we can be more friendly to the away fans travelling from Durham to watch the womens team. Thinks it would be lovely if we could say "Thank you for travelling so far" over the tannoy before the match. Great use of a few minutes of the microphone. Shame he didn't seize the opportunity to ask who has better hair out of Martin and Armstrong though.

Discuss.

The internet truly is a marvellous resource, isn't it. Thanks for sharing.

Lets just round it up to £100m, share him and be done with it. Liverpool can have him Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Chelsea can have him Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. We keep him for Saturdays to keep it fair for Liverpool and Chelsea.

7 goals in the last two home league games. 1 point.

Much better type of player to have as captain than JWP.

Has his head gone again?

I was at that game I think. Seem to remember Yousef Safri getting sent off. I only found out about a week later and completely missed it during the game.

The squarest of pegs in the roundest of holes.

I doubt he'd have to live in the slums and get the tube to work like normal people.

I have a feeling injuries will significantly hamper his whole career. Seems like a nice chap but (potentially) somebody else's problem now I guess.

Apart from one miss, the other 4 England penalties were pretty top quality.

I watched the USA v Sweden penalty shootout yesterday. And am watching the England shootout now. I don't think I've seen so many off target penalties in years (think about 4 yesterday and 3 of the first 4 so far today). C'mon England though!

The women are clearly determined to prove they're as stupid as the men.

First dropped points of the season at home yesterday. Could have been worse but for an injury time equaliser.

Does seem very odd that it has been credited to Armstrong. Surely, it it touched him, it should only be classed as a deflection given that I'm pretty sure Tella's shot was on target. If it really was AA's goal, then I am intrigued to know if Tella gets credited with the 'official' assist and, far more importantly, whether it can be classified as a successful pass. From what I can see, it doesn't appear on the pass map above for some reason (i.e. assuming there should be another gold star to denote a goal?).
