Croatia were as abject as England were excellent.

Considering that has never happened....

Still playing FM 24. Love it. My current save started in the Japanese 3rd Divison when the game came out.... Three years ago! Clearly savouring it as it's taken that long to get to 2042, now managing Real Madrid. Don't have time for much gaming now. The last one I managed to play through was Final Fantasy 7 Remake during covid, would love to have a go at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth but I cannot justify 100 hours on a game. Just too much going on. A shame, as Final Fantasy 7 was 'the' game that caught my imagination during childhood. I still dabble a bit with Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3. That's very much my equivalent of a 'comfort' game. Know it, love it... Switch off and go with it. Racing games still engage. Gran Turismo 7 I play a little now and then. Did stretch to buying Star Trek Voyager; Across the Unknown. Nice bit of strategy without being too time consuming, a chapter takes about 20-35 minutes.

That UEFA would allow such a divisive situation in the first place is a disgrace. Can only respect Baz for his standpoint. Would be massively surprised if it was Azaz turning on him, an educated man. (Even given his shared heritage.) Equally feel for Peretz and the Israeli players, they are not politicians.

Peak Soccer Am was, In Hindsight beyond my teenage rose tinted glasses; absolute shite. Yet, it would be a sweet sweet tonic compared to the sterile over produced 'product'we now get. So, that, ITV Champions League (on a school night to talk about in science the next day) and MOTD goal of the month to the tune of life of Riley would be the right kind of medicine to cleanse the palate.

I'm reading this as the FA have made a decision and we are trying to hit it with every legal counterpoint we can.

Friday. 10am. 6 month ban. No fine.

The Middlesbrough pushback.

Considering the sale of 37,000 tickets was permitted before we were kicked out indicates that may not be a logic to trust.

We have had spells in every single game where we have played well. We have the championship's top scorer. We have a player that other teams fear so much they need to kick him out of the game. JWP has returned and immediately looked good. Without the -4 we would be in the play-offs. All this has been achieved despite the unknown outcome of the FA Hearing for our manager which will be leaving the first team in an uncertain place psychologically. In summary. F**k everyone else and up the f**king Saints!

2 for Birmingham.

Prowsey!!!!!

Please. You know it's harder to play against ten men. Brave.

It is funny how some Bournemouth fans insist there's a rivalry. I like seeing them doing so well. My best friend at 6th form was a Bournemouth fan, went with him to Dean Court a few times. Only have good memories of them.

No! Saw him in his debut away at Burnley. Did very well. 57, that's so young. Thoughts to his family.

Frankly, better then the dirty cream look.

Seems to me he may have broken his principles to save his own hide. For now. Not that he would ever admit it.

So disappointing. Possession. Stockport County 51% Leicester City 49%

Time to call that hoodoo; broken. Very, very pleasing.

MATSKI!!!!!!!!!

Time to be professional lads. Come on.

Oh. Yes. 2-0

They survived on the last day that season, meekly relegated the next.
