Carved open at the back. Again. By Hungary.

Dear me. What a load of turgid shit from England.

But hang on, haven't the Tories been telling us over and over that we've got the fastest growing economy in the universe recently? They couldn't have ben lying, could they?

I'm mostly enjoying the Obi-Wan series, but there's a lot of silliness in it. Like when the 3 guys chased young Leia in Ep1 it was a bit like the Keystone Cops.

A very dour first half. Italy looking the more threatening.

I was out at a gig that night and have still never been able to bring myself to watch it.

Or Monica.

With 5 subs allowed next season, having him available to bring on late in a game to pester defenders and draw fouls to take pressure off our defence isn't the worst idea.

The fact that it says talks are ongoing suggests to me that we have offered him reduced terms due to his age and likelihood of playing / contributing much. If we had offered him the same terms he would undoubtedly have accepted it already because he's not going to get offered better than that elsewhere, let's face it.

I seem to remember someone putting together a league table based on games finishing on 85 minutes instead of 90+ and it had us staying up quite comfortably.

Another shout for this one. He had a shocker and it was s bizarre OG he scored. Then watching him step up to take the first pen in the shootout, I just knew we were toast.

Pickford was only 21 when he broke into the Sunderland first team, having had previous loans at lower League clubs including Bradford, Preston and Burton. Simply being young doesn't preclude a keeper from being decent.

All of which brings us to another of the numerous things that are wrong with America - their environmental regulation in many areas is non-existent, which is hardly surprising when you consider that Big Donnie appointed the former CEO of an oil company as head of the EPA.

Well unless I've missed it, the predicted resignations haven't materialised, which means either nobody on the govt payroll voted against Johnson (and thus 75% of the backbenchers did), or some of them did but they are too cowardly to admit it and resign as they would be expected to.

Not sure what Pickford was doing there. It's like he dived out of the way.

Ask yourself - could you imagine this happening in the UK? 3 cops telling a vulnerable person that they're "not jumping in after you" and then just standing there watching him drown? In answer to the question "what is wrong with America?", one answer that springs to mind is that, in some states at least, Police officers get less training than fucking hairdressers do before being unleashed on the public.

Watched Matrix: Resurrection over the weekend, although perhaps Regurgitation would have been a better title. What a load of utter shit. Just a lazy re-hash of the original film that tries too hard to be clever but makes no sense whatsoever.

Anyway, back on topic... I've just been to visit my mum in hospital and she asked me to pick her up today's Daily Mail. I've told her on previous occasions that I would never dirty my fingers by even touching it let alone be seen buying it, but as she's in hospital and thoroughly bored I reluctantly agreed. Fuck me. Every other paper (except the Express, of course) ran with a headline about how bad a result last night was for Johnson, and this is their take:

I demand that all football journalists should report transfer fees in the number of Shlongs.

"To protect and serve"

That's assuming that he won 100% of the payroll vote. There were numerous claims on Twitter last night that there will be several resignations this morning, so let's wait and see.

Johnson loses the support of 41% of his MPs, and then says this is a "conclusive" result and that the party can now "take this opportunity to unite"

Kudos to David Cameron for never deleting this tweet
