Lighthouse

So long as he has 153 as his shirt number.

He isn’t developing.

Yes, although I think they were also the first team not to score in a penalty shootout.

Switzerland got knocked out of the WC without conceding once.

Boosh!

I’ve always advocated for this. 30 minute ‘in play’ halves, which end the first time the ball goes out of play, off the pitch (I.e. not a free kick or penalty)

With that logic you could argue it's best not to sell Shane Long for £70m. Those transfers were made by personnel who are no longer here, several years ago. Salisu, Diallo, Adams and KWP would be a more representative example of our recent transfers and they were less than £50m combined.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; if offered a straight 50:50 choice between JWP in the squad next season and an extra £50m to spend in the transfer window, I’d choose the latter.

Italy to beat England in the final I reckon, although my predictions for the last 16 games were equal to random 50/50 guess work, so what do I know.

They’re two evenly matched teams in terms of talent, it can go either way. You’re never going to convince me Eastleigh have a chance against Brazil.

Crikey. All that effort from the Swiss and they’ve bottled it.

Are they sh*t at it or just too damn lazy?

Personally I think that's a terrible reason to bring someone back. All just comfortable, jobs for the boys, everyone moves upstairs thinking. To me it would just be a rather alarming indicator that we put very little effort into researching the coaches we appoint, which I hope is not true.

Lambert signed for Liverpool when he was past his best with us. Richard Wright signed for Man City. Sometimes it’s just the right move for the right player at the right time. If you watched Bertrand last season and thought, ‘yes, I want to see more of that in the future’ then fair enough. If you’re just going with the ‘he signed for a club above us in the table, therefore Saints fans are stupid’ logic, then you’re wrong.

I’ll add bad breath to that. Do some people not know to clean their teeth after breakfast?

He’s been substandard at Saints for a while now, is clearly only going to Leicester to provide cover, has signed a 2 year deal with an option and Leicester aren’t a champions league team. Apart from that, spot on.

When did he say that?

Have you been watching Gladiator?

If he’s a bit sh*t we could sing: Perraud, is it me you’re looking for. ‘Cause I wonder where you are and I wonder what you do…

Sensible move for all parties, good luck to him.

I was just driving past the port, does anyone know if Messi has a private yacht with ‘Maersk Line’ written on the side? It looked pretty big, could be him.

Love them, very nice. Just the right level of distinctive and original without being too abstract and awkward looking.

Mental that a developed country like Oz could be so poor on something like this, 5% vaccinations for a developed country is just atrocious. At this rate it'll take about five years for them to get jabbed enough to ease lockdown.

They are more than a little fortunate to get this far. Sneaking through the group stage with two defeats and a win against Macedonia and only because Spain spanked Slovakia, drawing probably the worst group winners in the tournament, then being outplayed up until Sweden having the man sent off.

If someone hasn’t already photoshopped the CCTV of Hancock with his hand on the woman’s buns onto that screen, I’m very disappointed.
