Some views from a Brit at the sharp end

It wasn’t Dave, it was Smudger Smith.

Well, the next couple of hours will reveal whether Ralph is a tactical genius of not. BTW, my money is on not.

It’s Wales innit. Drakeford’s postponed the whole fucking country.

Nah, he’s getting his big(ger) money, and if the worst comes to the worst, he’ll just move on to the next sucker club.

At least their owner turns up.

Mine too - they were ridiculously cheap, too cheap as it turns out, but I was with them for 3 years so can’t complain. Will probably get moved to British Gas (thanks Ofgem) but as soon as my credit gets sorted out will switch to Octopus. They look a decent company - I’ll have to pay more obviously, it looks more stable than Avro, and with zero switching fees and competitive prices (at present) what’s not to like?

Obstruction is not a foul in football - your’e allowed to shield the ball and not play it. Happens all the time.

I wouldn’t really consider Cardiff and especially Swansea to be in our catchment area. Do you know how far it is to Swansea?

Ramsdale’s going for the hat-trick.

Pretty much.

Two 9-0s are enough for me. One is unfortunate, two is unforgivable.

Why should anybody assume two blokes walking into a football stadium are a couple? Do they have labels on them or something?

Don’t have a go at Jimmy Melia - I remember one match, when finding himself centrally 6 yards out from goal, he stroked a beautiful ball out to John Sydenham on the left touchline.

Good to see James Bracey - that wicketkeeper deemed good enough to play for England last month have such a good match. 48 byes in Hampshire’s first innings to add to his duck in Gloucestershire’s.

Sterling off for Grealish please.

Yep, even ignoring all the other failures, how can you lose 9-0 twice and still not lose your job?

So in the end we had to rely on other teams to save us from relegation. That’s a disgrace.

For all those wondering, cisgender means a man who thinks he’s a man, or a woman who thinks she’s a woman. That’s 99% of people then. And no, I didn’t know either.

Congratulations to our Women’s team for reaching the last 16 in the Women’s FA Cup. A fantastic achievement, beating Lewes, a team 2 divisions higher than them. It’s really a shame that due to Covid, and two abandoned seasons that the promotions that their quality deserved has been denied them. Maybe the powers that be will promote them a few divisions, as they are clearly above the standard the their league position indicates.

Hotshot Lorimer was one of my favourite players -pity he had to play for Leeds! RIP Peter.

Thanks for that Paul.
