When the North Korean lot went past, it looked a bit like they were screaming for rescue

Must say, this country rundown is a good refresher on which countries have been taken over by ruthless dictatorships in the last 4 years. Places I’ve never even heard of

Bit brave of the French to think we’d know who these big brass boilers are. At least we had James Bond

Of course France love minions. Now, when’s the bit on Rayman?

Will I ever finish FFVII Rebirth? 90 hours in and I’m staring down the final chapter now. If I wasn’t enjoying it so much, there’s not a chance I’d be tackling a game of that length these days Dave the Diver next so hopefully that’s a bit more manageable

Mad scenes at the end of Argentina vs Morocco. Complete with ugly crowd action that has cast a dark shadow on the games already and it hasn’t even technically begun. Women’s Handball tomorrow. Let the battle commence

I took the day off today like but that was more to give myself a day of rest to get better rather than anything kind of obligation to isolate. If I only had mild symptoms and I had a holiday to go on, I’d be there with bells on. Just bring sanitiser

Fucking COVID. I think anyway. Started with a cough and now I’m absolutely fucked. Aches and pains everywhere, no energy, sore throat and could hardly taste my tea. Though that might be my lasses cooking. Good timing for the Olympics like

When I was on Twitter, Burnsie was absolutely adamant that someone, I think it was Rondon, was signing full time at the end of his loan. 3 year contract, the lot. I helpfully reminded him that nobody was signing a contract while Rafa was leaving and he replied with some nonsense like “we’ll see 👀” Anyway, fast forward a few month, Rafa is gone, we’re not exploring a permanent deal for Rondon and I dragged the old tweet up, giving it the old I told you so. Five minutes later, I’m blocked and his original tweet is deleted he’s a fucking fruit loop

I’m not sure of the standard you get in the Serbian second division but i’m not holding my breath here

Bit of a power play to make sure he gets that clarity but I must be reading into things very differently than others are

Seems like he just wants some clarity which I presume he’ll get in deeper conversations with Mitchell? Seems strange to ignore the bits where he says he wants to here for many, many years

Sounds fairly consistent with his usual crack to me like. Pissed off with PSR but everything else seems pretty normal

Well, not her in particular but it was clear that the press were getting briefs. It’ll be a very tight ship from here on in, I’d bet

And even if she is a skint fraudster, she’s now no longer our concern and we’re solely being ran by the Saudi wealth fund and a pair of brothers worth about 30 billion quid Hard times incoming

You wouldn’t build cans like that onto a Euro pallet either. #ITK

Staveley is gone and with it is their connection to the club. The only thing this rabble are getting now are fluff pieces with Eales/Silverstone/whoever every 6 months as they continue their slide into irrelevance

Fuck that, sit in the shade, drink and read books. The holidays reps can take care of the kids

Are we sure that Eales doesn’t want his own man though?

Get Pochettino or Tuchel, I say. No time for promoting Lee bastard Carsley or beige boy Potter

To the back drop of FUCKING vuvuzelas. What a shit tournament. Nearly as shit as the ones we get to finals of and fuck it up on the night

Once again, we had all the initiative after the equaliser so what do we do? Retreat to the edge of our own box again. Endlessly infuriating. I felt quite existential about it last night, wondering what I’d done in a past life to see England and Newcastle get to three finals in 3 seasons and lose all of them but this morning, I’m slightly more relaxed about it all. I don’t think the time is gone for this group of players to win something but Southgate’s race is run. He’s proven time and again that he simply cannot get a real attacking tune out of a group of players who have scored about 250 goals between them last season. He willingly hands control of the game to whoever we’re playing in big moments, is petrified to make subs and basically played for draws in a knockout tournament. Howe would probably win the lot with this group of players and like I say, I don’t think the opportunity is gone yet but a few of those players need to retire from international football and give us a chance to start over

Get the face paint out and believe
