Poor neo. Living in the only town without a spoons.

Monday

That's a point. We've had the amazing black box for a number of years. Why hasn't it got a fleet of scout drones hovering above the continent's training pitches?

The ball of god.

Camera pans to Beckham shouting "kick him! kick him!" 🙂

They re still struggling to understand how a team effort can possibly overcome the one they jumped on the bandwagon with. So, like 3 year olds, they lash out. 🙂

Herbert's follow up comments:- "Herbert has not apologised for the remarks. Speaking after being contacted by student newspaper The Gaudie, she said: “I don’t want to see anyone murdered, but I’m still glad she is dead. “I’m not a hypocrite. I posted that before the murder investigation was launched. “I’m a nobody. I have no power to do anything. Ann Widdecombe was able to and made the lives of ordinary people hell.” She added: “Nobody appears to care – I also celebrated the death of the leader of Iran.” Employer, a Uni, investigating. Police have also had a look, but have said no criminality. Elsewhere, JK Rowling had set up a rape crisis centre after her city's one, was run by a man self identifying as a woman, offered support only to vulnerable women who agreed with their ideology. She was at the forefront of challenging the government, which in no small way helped to drag authorities into checking what they had signed up to had any scientific or legal basis. That has got her organisation put on Amnesty International's briefing entitled "A growing threat" and calling her "anti rights" Amnesty have scurried put to pretend it was all a mistake, that would of course have been normally stopped in editing. Presumably, they'll be making similar statements about the other organisations that are taking action, having been listed. Another, in a long line on lots of issues, group that ploughs on blindly on issues that it's either been captured on, or simply doesn't understand.

Rugby

No sooner do I post about using the SR model to bring under-21s through...🙂 ITK or lucky guess? You decide. Although you'd be wrong if you picked the first one.

Well done to Spain. They ran the midfield, got their penalty, and France struggled to put anything together. Spain's two full backs were versatile, squeezing anything left out of a French attack, that looked to have given up a bit as the end approached, with some wayward efforts on goal. Dembele looked to struggle again, but he wasn't the only one, when their quick through balls were being closed down. Should England get through, at least they'll be used to being a bit disjointed but adapting, which will stand them in better stead than France.

Best of luck. Looking forward to a France v England final. Possibly not the best time to have transferred that tapestry... 🙂

No one else has a FIFA peace prize.

I don't see Targett as much. And I recall him as decent enough. But as Upweysaint said, Manning is doing well under Tonda (and did well under Russ at Swansea). Welington is a decent back up, offering some different strengths. So, it would be an upgrade in some areas, but probably not enough for me.

The part I heard on the news was damning. A reminder that putting the lives of healthcare workers at risk to fund dodgy mates contracts is what you can expect from your own government in a crisis.
