Him and Jones on the other side will cause havoc.

Assuming…
1. He plays them together.
2. He plays them in their preferred positions.
3. They actually get game time…

Yep, different attitude second half.
Bit like France who never got beyond a stroll in their first half.
But if we’re going to defend deep, then hammer teams on the break, we’re going to need Kane on Bayern form.

[alcazar]

England look like Southgate 2.0.
Tippy tappy across their penalty area, ten men behind the ball, no outlet, defending a one goal lead.

His history of involvement in goals might mean that he is the intended replacement for you-know-who.
The 3 year contract is another clue.
Oooh. We paid money – this might well suggest serious intent.
Let’s hope that this works out – AB and the board deserve it to.
It is also great to see that we have two beltin’ wide men in the same squad.
It will be interesting to see what formation we use.

Knowing Butler as we do, one without wide players?

[alcazar]

Is there anybody theeeere?
Anyone at all?

Germans are cynical as feck.
Any tackle goes in, they throw themselves down and the ref is buying it.

Australia looked very shaky in defence, lots of weak clearances.

Paint: advertised as “One Coat”.
Is it EVER?

[alcazar]

Only watched the YouTube eight to nine minute highlights so far, kick off times being unreasonable.
The winning teams seem very incisive in using the wings.

Love this track, the pedal steel guitar is atmospheric too.

I think a 750k grant is wide of the mark. The panel that decides how much we will get hadn’t sat as of last week. There are also parts of the work that the grant does not cover, so I would imagine the short fall is pretty significant.

And once again, we are talking Scunny.
Anyone else remember us applying for a grant to extend/rebuild one of the stands,?
We got nowt but moneybags ManUre got £millions to put another layer on one of their stands.
One rule for the rich clubs, same old same old.

Why, does polyester smell?

Surely it’s the sweaty bodies that smell?
Tbh, my footy shirts smell better than my fotl workshirts which are cotton.
Cooler washes mean bacteria in the shirts aren’t killed, and reactivate within an hour of putting it on.
So much so that I’ve started to use laundry disinfectant when I wash them.

But isn’t it you that hates fans wearing football shirts?

Oh dear.
Where have we heard THAT excuse before?

And it does, actually better than the video reader I managed to install.
Thanks IA.

Any info from the Butler interview and Michelle’s please can’t receive it where I am.

I expect Butler said that the lads trained well, and that lessons were learned.

Just bought a numeric padlock.
It had no instructions, but a QR code.
Scanning it took me to the instructions for setting the code.
I’ll try my phone camera, supposed to be top notch.

It should never have been awarded to Qatar or Russia either.
As for awarding it to Saudi Arabia, that’s just ridiculous. But hey that’s FIFA for you.

Got to line Giovanni’s pockets before he’s found out as well.

WHY????

Cyber security – To protect you from online fraud and hackers?

The ones I love a telephone attempted hackers.
My record is keeping one on the line for 25 minutes when he claimed to be Microsoft, and my computer had apparently been hacked.
He finally hung up when he asked me to go to my phone and look at my Apps.
I asked what an aps was.

In fact any Americanisms on UK media.

And their spelling. Neighbor, color, program, tires, math etc.

The one that gets me the most is aluminum

Ah yes when the Americans urged us all yo use their spellings of Sulphur, and sulphuric, but refused to use the rest of the world’s aluminium.
Perhaps for them we should refer to sodum, pottassum, magnesum, chromum, etc

I like that people who promote the death penalty are against this ” human rights abuse”

I can’t support the death penalty while we cannot trust government, CPS and especially the police not to misuse it.😡

Happier days.
Top shops not been long open, everything clean and new, almost every shop you’d need.
And probably the best chippy in town, where I got more chips for my four penn’orth than my dad got for his sixpence.
Mind… I could barely see over the counter.
Ley’s Farm was a farm although derelict, even then. We used to watch skylarks over the fields, then find the nest below.
And you could walk from Messingham Road, west across fields to Scotter Road and not see a road or a house.
Canada Farm was still working, and both the Moor well and the Brank well were actual wells.
Further across was Gravs, an old gravel pit, very wild.
Happy memories.
Except for Bottesford Beck… it was an open sewer and you could smell it from 50 yards on a still day 🙁

I think it’s the new model for clubs lacking wealthy investors.

We could refer to it as HYHO, KYMS.
