Yes, it had nothing directly to do with Leeds City. Arsenal went into the top division because the league was expanded to 22 teams. 20 were already in. Tottenham and Chelsea were the bottom two from the previous completed season. Chelsea became the 21st because their relegation was...

I see that I wasted my time punctuating correctly to avoid exactly that misinterpretation.

Surely 'Nails'.

I know what you mean. It feels like a poor tribute act these days. It could still be good with a decent cast joining Jack Dee, but looking at the first episode of the new series: Tony Hawks, Alexander Armstrong, Rachel Parris* and the Rev Richard Coles, they've removed any personality it had...

Is Adama Traore's main position 'substitute'? I can't think of a player who comes on more often than he does.

March and Adingra, if fit would be the two to be rotated. Adingra's been used a lot on the left because Mitoma's injured. If Mitoma's fit presumably he'd share the load on the left with Osman who we've already spent €20m on and, if Undav returns, repositioned Enciso, Pedro, on the left and...

Do: Stick close to Charles Bronson & John Leyton, or James Coburn. They're the only ones who made it. Don't: Try to leap a barbed wire fence on a motorbike, or answer 'Thank you very much' if someone says your German is good.

This is always a weird one for me. Owners appoint a young manager and don't seem to realise that, like young players, they will learn and improve year on year.

That makes more sense. I thought it might be her follow up book to 'One is Fun'.

Surprised not to see Fati's home goal against Ajax in there. Adringa's ball into him was nice. His take and quick shot was a thing of beauty.

Where did you get that from? Transfermarkt had him playing 28 games in Serie A and 6 games in Europe.

Whilst I'd agree that there is a disjunct between the headline and the article. I didn't think the article was good anyway. It's just yet another Fleet Street piece that assumes that the ultimate goal for everyone involved in football is to work for one of the Nation State owned monoliths...

Quite easy actually, barely an inconvenience. ;)

The premise in the headline is a massive assumption, unsupported by anything in the article. Boil it down to what is known and what is inferred or presumed, let's say fact and guesswork: We've stopped scoring goals: Fact; European games seemed to be RDZ's destiny but now he might have to lump...

Was he playing for Man Utd?

The long read in today's Guardian is haunting: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/may/02/southend-united-fc-slow-death-possible-rebirth-ron-martin-justin-rees Contains so many reminders of the war years, both bad and good. Good luck to all Southend fans and all in similar boats. A...

One of my favourite sunny day memories is of lying in a field at Glastonbury eating a fantastic sheep milk ice cream and listening to their set. Back to the puns: Prints (and the Revolution).

Haul & Totes? Tom's Weights? Fergal Shar's Keys? Public Enemas?

Weren't Kitchens of Distinction and Fountains of Wayne both really named after shops? And Everything But the Girl came from a bedshop window promo-line. Perhaps a Urologist called Bellend Sebastian?
