That natural goal scorer has 1 league goal, against Levante. If we’re comparing him with anyone right now it’s Shane Long. Those are the key words here. If you can arrange to sign 2013 Bale, rather than 33 year old, injured, golf playing Bale then great. I’m aware of that but he isn’t any more Welsh as he gets older. He’s linked to Cardiff now because that’s a reasonable barometer of what he might contribute over the next couple of years.

Pretty simple, this summer marks ten years since promotion. Pick your strongest XI, formation, 9 subs, a manager and 5 more players for your 25 man registered squad. 8 players must be home grown but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll ignore the extra, under 21 squad players rule. I’m going with 4-2-3-1, managed by Poch. Boruc KWP - Virgil - Toby - Bertrand JWP - Wanyama Mané - Davis - Tadic Pellè Subs: Forster, Lovren, Clyne, Shaw, Romeu, S. Armstrong, Lallana, Gabbiadini, Ings Squad players: Stekelenburg, Fonte, Morgan, Cork, J Rod

I don’t understand why anyone would want him on any sort of deal at all, other than pointless nostalgia. We’ve already had Theo ‘come home’ after no one else wanted him, look how that’s going.

What would be great about it? He is frequently unfit and his commitment is questionable at best. The fact that he is actually linked to bottom half Championship Cardiff is probably a fairly good indicator.

No, what's that?

We sent a couple of our best men down to the galley to deal with him but he lured them into a refrigerator, knifed them and set off a bomb in the microwave. We figured that as long as he’s confined below the third deck, he’s not a threat.

The fact that you would compare Putin and Tony Blair tells us everything we need to know about your political analysis. I think it probably needs to slap a couple of people a bit harder.

OF derby 1-1 after 6 minutes.

I'd have thought we'd get a fair amount of Armstrong's £15m back in summer. He's still a decent Championship striker, somebody hoping to chase promotion next season will probably take him on.

Watching a documentary on Channel 4 about Chernobyl. When asked what the most difficult aspect of dealing with the ordeal was Gorbachev replied, "getting the information." A whole culture built on telling people above you what they want to hear.

What an absolute weapon. He looks like a 1916 Bolshevik soldier, who was sh*gging some woman when her husband came home and had to make a quick exit out the bedroom window.

Absolute ball sack of a VAR decision, both players had a dig in at each other. Varane’s leg was only there because he messed up his challenge.

That pr*ck Maupay absolutely skies a penalty. Moonraker is probably on ITV4 and it’s probably better than this.

We’re trying our best to send Everton down, that’s all I can ask of them.

The only striker in the world with a 1:1 goals to contracts ratio.

Not sure where the creativity is in that line up. 3 CM, 2 ST and Moi.

It would be an absolute fairy tale to see the people of a starving, war torn, poverty stricken, diseased sh*t hole have some small glimmer of hope to get behind. Having said that, I wouldn’t begrudge Ukraine a place in the tournament either.

Not really. When half your fixtures are against Bahrain or Turks and Caicos Islands, that tends to happen. FIFA rankings are largely nonsense.

Can’t ask for a more p*ss easy group than that. We will probably still make a meal of it.

Qatar vs. Ecuador to open the tournament. Nothing like a couple of Galacticos to start us off with a bang.

A shame they can’t get Serbia’s group. That’d probably top Usa-Iran for lolz.

Priceless! 😂

Russia says attacking the oil depot with a couple of helicopters will harm the ceasefire negotiations. The blitzing of Mariupol and 170,000 civilians apparently not a problem though. It really is incredible how brazen some regimes can be.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60947028 An interesting piece of legislation which highlights why IMO the acronym LGBTQ+ isn’t valid or a fair way of grouping completely different issues.

Bog standard negotiating tactic, would ready literally nothing into that.
