Whitey Grandad

What would we do with £35m? We’d only waste it.

The cross for their second should have been blocked at the source. Which of our players was it who waved a leg at it half-heartedly after it had been kicked? Griezmann had too much time to be able to look up and pick his spot.

Yes it is. It’s a bit obvious though that if a team doesn’t win the big moments then they are unlikely to be champions.

The contrast between his two penalty kicks was remarkable. The first was firm and confident and just what everybody expected but the second was a result of overthinking it. You don’t normally see penalty kicks get ballooned over the bar. That usually only happens in an extreme situation.

He missed with his second opportunity. I was surprised to be honest but not disappointed because overall we were just not good enough. Unimaginative football played without flair or passion.

I’d pay to miss that.

The point is that he didn’t have any forward options and we have to ask why?

Might as well restart the Premier League next weekend. There’s that round of fixtures that were cancelled for the Queen’s funeral for a start.

Is it too late to bring him on?

We never really gave it a go. Too much plodding football.

I have to say that I have a 100% record at scoring a penalty.

Someone else should have taken it.

In an international, I meant to say 😉

Game on

We are going for the record of number of passes amongst the back four.

Saving himself. Doesn’t want to get injured before he gets his dream move to us 🎉

No, I'm not happy with that. £25 a fortnight though is quite acceptable.

You need to masticate more.

In terms of cup chances there is very little difference between the bottom of the Premier League and the leagus below.

Of course it doesn’t. We meet many Americans on our holidays and one was telling us about how he had got something in his eye when he had leant out of a window on a heritage steam train. His treatment was “wonderful” and he desperately wanted to pay for it but they wouldn’t let him. Not that there was any mechanism for him to do so anyway. In other encounters it was made clear that in America you will definitely get treated. The only issue was who was going to pay for it. We met another English gentleman whose wife had been taken into hospital in Florida after falling ill on a cruise. He described how he was gaily writing cheques for thousands of dollars not knowing whether his insurance company was going to cover them.

Tonight, Kidderminster Harriers v Chester, BT Sport Tomorrow, Gillingham v Dagenham & Redbridge, BBC3 etc. ?

What trains?

They had enough of a rest during the first thirty minutes.

Maguire won’t get anywhere near him.

That lasted well
