Good Luck tomorrow, Sonni .. make sure the Russians are Putin their proper place.. third..(using the Irish pronunciation 🙂

well.. that's today's big match done .. back to the smaller competition.. well done Pools.. in two seasons you'll be having a local derby with the team up the road 🙂

I like Kane, but if I had to rank him against Lewandowski, Mbappe, Neymar, Aguero and Lukaku, he would not be in the top two.. but it is very telling that when he isn't doing well, the team just doesn't have the same spark

Just make sure it doesn't become a race horse 🙂

yes.. but would you say that on a wet Wednesday night in Huddersfield?

Have to admit that it is refreshing to see a team playing positive football with minimal diving and making two passes to move forty yards instead of reaching double figures.. suppose it is sort of route one in the sense that the ball is passed into the opposition half as quickly as possible but I could watch stuff like that all day.. Italy for the Cup

and you just know that somewhere in Dubai, a man dressed as a flowerpot is mumbling "I'll be back" 🙂

And the magic words appear👎

I think there is little chance it will be Blackwell as it would make too many people Crosse

Obviously child cruelty laws aren't as strict in the more backward nations 🙂

We've been occupied by the Saxons and then the Normans ever since Athelstan assassinated Erik Bloodaxe and then started putting their cronies in positions of power. Compared to the Harrying of the North, Cromwell and Longshanks were like benevolent uncles.. a lot of people do know their history and when asked "are you English?", I tend to say, "No, I'm from Yorkshire".. .. I would recommend that anyone who does get the chance should see an England v Scotland game just for the atmosphere.. my mistake was choosing 1977 🙂

Cracking goals and positive attitudes.. proper football not just possession.. would be happy to see more of that

With puns like that you should emulate Ukraine's no. 25.... Positively Netherlands 13 :).. good end to end game.. Ukrainian keeper MOTM

And congratulations to the Simian Suspenders for their victory in today's most important game... one more win and you are back where you belong

tbh.. you could come back as Borolad1986... 🙂
