Sheaf Saint

He did well but under hit the pass

They're turning the screw on us now. Can't see us holding out too much longer TBH.

That's just bollocks. He's won the ball in the centre and got us moving forward a couple of times already today. He's got good strength and can protect the ball well. He'll never be even close to as hopeless as Downs was.

Oh Leo 🤦

Well that was bizarre.

Yeah probably. Just seems a little odd to put out such a strong team (obviously taking the cup seriously) but leave out two of our most dependable players completely.

Is Stephens injured or suspended?

Sorry, where???

Seeing France getting utterly humiliated at Murrayfield.

Supply and demand innit. I imagine loads of people will have immediately put an extra order in to fill up now before the inevitable wholesale price rises, just like the people who take their range rovers to petrol stations and fill up 3 or 4 jerrycans. But I agree, it does have a horrible stench of disaster capitalism about it.

In the Women's WC qualifiers Bosnia-Herzegovina are currently beating Lichtenstein 11-1, and there's still another half an hour to play.

Link?

The Israeli Embassy in Bahrain was targeted early this morning. That's less than a kilometre from where my brother lives 😬

He's got deep personal business ties with the Saudis, but I'm not certain how this current action would benefit him in that regard.

My thinking was that the two teams with the most points/best GD have a greater chance of reaching the final. With the system that's being proposed you could end up with the teams that finished 7th and 8th facing each other at Wembley. There should be greater jeopardy for the lower placed teams IMO. But on reflection, I guess that also means that one of the two teams in 3rd and 4th is also guaranteed not to be in the final. So I get that it's not a perfect solution.

Oh I've misunderstood then. I thought 3rd and 4th would play each other and the winner go straight through, but admit I've not fully read the proposal. That would seem fairer to me.

I guess the thinking is that one of the teams in 3rd and 4th is guaranteed to be in the final. Whereas currently it is possible for the two teams in 5th and 6th to get through. They should do away with the two legs though, and just give the home advantage to the team that finished higher.

That was my first season of going to watch games, and this was the first win I ever witnessed. The celebration in the Milton end when that penalty went in was what got me hooked for life.

Ruben Selles sacked by Zaragoza after an 8 game winless run leaving them bottom of the table. https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25900591.former-southampton-boss-selles-sacked-second-time-season/?dicbo=v2-6NmxOmf Maybe it's time he found a new career?

He's clearly just trolling now. Nobody is actually this stupid in real life.

Latest from inside Bahrain is that the US facilities have now been completely destroyed.

Indeed. And despite having a virtually limitless supply, they are still not where they want to be 🤨
