Window Cleaner

Don't think so, been here a long,long time. Wasn't the name some sort of référence to Rupert Lowe?

If you say so. An EFL tribunal isn't a court of law. The EFL makes the rules, applies them according to their whim and hands out the sanctions. A top legal eagle might find some disputable point or other but as we lied and then admitted it the outcome would be the same. As, or so I think,we are the first club actually caught breaking rule 127 they have established a precedent. Don't do it or don't get caught because the punishment will be severe.

Certainly, what was it that Blair said at some Middle East crisis or other, ah yes doing nothing is not an option. Even if he gets a token punishment they have to look into it.

Talking about being PC, I see that the président of Senegal has said that it doesn't matter who wins this evening, Africa will have won anyway. Now sir, I don't think you should say that, certainly not in France anyway.

For us perhaps, but if they don't pronounce names correctly they'll get remonstrations from embassys and the like. Gotta be PC nowadays.

Hope not, expensive and injury prone.

Immediate pressure from a real striker.

Perhaps but Argentinians had visible potential. Spain have no strikers and their system is ridiculous. Defence looks shaky at times.

Spain created a few half chances, didn't have anyone good enough to take them. Torres (the real one not the cardboard replica they have now) would have put some of them away. Oh and Rodri is no longer Rodri, drop him.

I think you can strike Spain from the list of favourites for this WC. That was awful.

Not great Spain. A few of their "stars" transparent. Need a real striker. When you take the Argentinians and Uruguayens out their football is insipid.

Looks handy..perhaps Pedro Pelé could recrute him for us.

Non it's plan B for the Spanish, pass the ball around for 85 minutes and then someone trips over his own feet in the box for a penalty. Energy saving plan.

Nah, they'll give up at 6 and just pass the ball around amongst themselves for 35 minutes.

Because there are too many places available. 32 teams maximum. A WC tournament with Curacao etc and not Italy isn't fair représentation of footballing mérité. Curacao shouldn't be anywhere near the WC finals. Still they have a few supporters présent,immigrant communities of the US I suppose.

There are a couple of interesting games. Brazil Morroco might bé alright.

Far better than I gave them crédit for. Mind you i've only got to half time so far. Dest has surprised me, along with the other centre back (not Ream). Balogun I knew about, seen him with Monaco. Nice shirts...

Oh dear. Another team of cloggers with a poor defence. The canadian # 2 would have seen red with yesterday's ref.

Presumed innocent in the US probably. Canada is a socialiste run woke place isn't it?

Mexico look alright. SudAf looks like a team of village rec cloggers. Think they'll get at least one red this evening.

Look to have quite a good crowd for the first match. It is Mexico at home I suppose.

Remains robe seen for the draw. Pitch looks a bit viscious with the new ball. Hants 2 down already.

Follow on avoided. Dare we hope a second batting point needing 15 with 1 wicket left Voilà, 301/9. Abbott needs to play straight because Potgieter looks in form.

Usual problem. Prest plays nice shots but doesn't make significant scores. Doubt if we'll avoid the follow on.

Prest,actually has played some nice shots this morning. May that continue because we certainly need it.
