I have a simpler version, 3rd place team are in the final , home dressing room, home kit blah giving them the advantage of more time to prepare, 4th plays 5th, playing a one off game with home advantage to the 4th placed team. Nice and simple.

Only our 13th ever gold in the winter games and 1st solo men’s since Robin Cousins in 1980. Brilliant from Matt Weston in the skeleton.

He was scared because he thought it was the taxman. Zahawi should come from Portsmouth.

Two up and two down worked perfectly for years without all this pay-off nonsense and nodody then thought it boring or lacking competition. In fact quite the opposite, everyone was in it to win it. In the old 3rd South and 3rd North only one team was promoted IIRC. Already, too many poor teams are promoted from all divisions these days and the yo-yo phenomenon has emerged. The proposed new system is likely to exacerbate this and could lead to a decline in quality across the leagues. LCD and all that!

Zahawi is useless. When Farage, Anderson, Jenrick or Tice make up a story for personal gain about London being dangerous they at least put some effort into it. They create characters with backstories, plotlines and narrative arcs, but Zahawi's ridiculous tale of being scared because a stranger looked tired sounded like he made it up on the fucking spot - must try harder. #twat

That's a plus Mrs SOG is still there, after being blamed for getting a racially motivated attack on a car wrong, and getting CPS things muddled. A relationship that lasts through hardships (and endless perseverance on her part) just in time for Valentine's Day.

That bottomless brunch with unlimited Prosecco taking its toll. Probably tried to slide one in Mrs SOG now passed out on the sofa next to the dog

I think he got a little carried away at brunch today. Quite the tirade of nonsense.

Fuck me you talk some bollocks

Further to the banning of the Ukrainian's helmet, Italian snowboarder Roland Fischnaller displayed a Russian flag on his helmet without comment or action by the IOC.

ICE now picking up abd detaining Ukrainian refugees in the US.

Nearly looks like a Devo hat! Um, and...politics and stuff...um...

Does anybody else watch the highlights and get goosebumps as Blackmore describes the last goal?? Up there with his description of Shane Long at Anfield and Bobby Stokes at Wembley.

Well, it is Valentines Day and romance will be in the air. I’ll be waiting for the team sheet ..and analyse that. Watch the game ..and analyse that. See the result ..and analyse that. Then take the missus out for a few beers ..and 😛

As Christophe said, the VA goal game in stoppage time. Where VA could step up to the tempo of Rouen last week, they've shown often enough they're happy down that tempo for anyone else. VA had one press early on, to tick it off their checklist. Then it was a succession of picking out side and back passes, despite now having a front three to work towards. Playing like that, it came as a shock when Briochin played vertically. The VA defence struggled to counter such a cunning, direct tactic, and were promptly behind. 2-0 at half time was merciful. It could have been more, had the visitor's final decision been better. Simple work from a front 2 that stuck to a plan. Too much for VA to handle. VA's passing was as poor as their link up play. By virtue of being the busiest, Courtet stood out for having a poor game. His misplaced pass, led to the second goal. There were boos when he got subbed. But he was very busy trying too hard today. He wasn't alone. There was some very poor moments from VA, including the worst corner I've seen for a while. 2 half time subs gave VA a bit of purpose early in the second half. El Hadary could have got one back had he not decided to take a touch, instead of a first time effort. VA had more efforts to get back into it. It's not as if the Briochin keeper was hanging on. It became a bit more desperate, having not got into gear in the first 45. Last time needed to be a benchmark of the tempo they would need to have as winners. There was none of that tonight, despite a settled formation and squad.

Care to share a link / some quotes? 😄

Fancy we're going to screw with that a bit this season 😏

That is not true 1) As they were only in the PL for one season, they only get 2 years of payments, not 3 2) Relegation to League One does not lose the payments. Luton received parachute payments in League One this season.

Leicester women just lost 6-0.

Scott Currie was prevented from playing for Scotland because he was recently 12th man for an England team. Has to wait 3 years to play for Scotland. He should perhaps make his mind up.

Also important to note that if they drop to League 1 they lose their next two years of parachute payments as those are intended to help Championship clubs. They’re in major trouble if they drop.

Maybe we could help Leicester out and agree to let Aribo play tomorrow.

Weather looks nice for a change tomorrow, might get an extra bit of walk up.
