Welcome Tino. May you justify that buy back clause with your performances.

Yeah, wondered this.

Always felt they were going for the Mugatu inspired 'dérélicte' look.

A stray fly landing in my venus fly trap.

Interesting that the conspiracy theorists say people who dissagree with them are afraid, when generally they start off as the ones looking for alternatives to allay their own fears and lack of understanding. Saw the pattern in some friends, they were deathly afraid of sending their children to school when the pandemic began, scared that cities in China were being laid waste with massive burial pyres and that the government was trying to pull the wool over their eyes over the scale of the threat the disease posed. Now, they have totally 180'd and consider it an excuse to destroy liberty in the name of the flu. Can't have it all ways kids.

True, but a big shame if the youth team of a club have been deaf to the situation.

Portsmouth Football Club, it would seem: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57833838

What the f**k is happening!?

Why do ITV even bother?

Trying to imagine Rice and Phillips together against either of these sides.

First dodgy call of the tournament goes against Lovren. Hillarity ensues.

Shades of Schumacher and Battiston on Pavard there. Just a shade.

Really enjoying Hungary. Putting in a great shift, hope they can get Portugal with a sucker punch.

The Geckosaint kit. It showed that great design is corrupted by commercial need.

I am very far from religious but thank god he's seemingly ok.

Good news, we don't need three keepers of the same standard so some money back. Plus, he's going home. One of those rare transfers that makes sense for everyone.

Didn't he leave Burnley due to family issues? He seems to be tied to the south.

Is Adebayo Akinfenwa moonlighting as Obafemi's fitness coach?

Our badge is instantly recognisable, unique and a quite excellent bit of design. Leave it be.

Finally a good result, but one maybe forced by necessity. Ralph is not a pragmatist. That's why we lost 9-0 twice after an early red card. Today he was forced to change. Another absolute shellacking could have been a final straw, he had to adapt on the fly, he had to make us dig in. There are lessons in how we played today, in not over-committing. Not expending all energy early doors. In building from the back not expending from the front we actually allowed an unexpected opportunity after our previous pattern of "good first half" failed through self implosion. (Yes, the red card was harsh, but not unprecedented.) To be brought back into a 'Pro-Hassenhutl' mindset I need to see some variation in approach and pragmatism by choice going forward. He needs to be more intelligent.

Exactly why Ralph needs to go. The only way his system works is by knackering out the players. No savvy, just utterly naive.

Had just about enough of this pattern of knackering ourselves out playing Hassenball in the first half ahead of collapsing in the second. Just f**k off Ralph.

Kier has clearly successfully appealed to the grass roots support. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-56802020

Just like Rio Ferdinand. 'Disgusted.'

Although we did benefit from this when Villa lost the 2015 Cup Final.
