Turned the radio on while making tea, and the first caller said Bale should play for a mid table Prem club like... Brentford. But no reason it can't be us. Will Bale want to go up against top opposition in the run up to the world cup, in the Prem. Or would he be happier at the still competitive level of Cardiff, confident he can step up when required?

Moving to good positions, right on the edge off offside, is helped by a team who can exploit someone who does it. Not that he'd manage it every time, but doddering team mates who want an extra touch or are trained to pass sideways won't have helped him. His finishing, once getting into an inside scoring position is another matter. 🙂

Surely putting a blood stained replica Terry Butcher head bandage onto your potential captain, instills him and the team with the spirit of Agincourt no matter what his country of origin? 🙂 Now with fake blood to prevent being sent to the sidelines by the ref.

I was often impressed at how well he sees the game. He's always thinking, looking to get into good positions, angling his run or looking to drag away opponents to create space. His high work rate means he does even more of this. If only his finishing had been better. I'm also not convinced some of RalphBall played to his strengths, although it did look as though even he didn't think he'd score sometimes, and may have needed more chances than we were likely to create.

A couple of names mentioned here, are on the beeb today... Manchester United ... are also willing to sell England Under-21 defender Brandon Williams, 21. (Manchester Evening News) Brentford are preparing to make relegated Watford an offer for £20m-rated Nigeria forward Emmanuel Dennis, 24

Norwich to be sold to Americans …

Yup, I can see Delia being more of a goalscoring threat than what we ha...oh "he could" not "she could"... yeah, Pukki would be decent too. 🙂 He'd already be used to sod all service in a tactic designed to stifle instinctive goalscoring. 🙂 -
Ugh! I should paste mine into the things that give me joy thread, with the addendum that it could be a lot worse. Like you've got. I hope your neighbour doesn't mind the odd slip from your new drum and bass studio waking them up at 3am every night. If only that giant speaker could be moved from right next to their property... 🙂

Hopefully it goes through for him.

Speaking of balance, this by the beeb indicated that Depp won because juries are not clever enough to see through the tactics of lawyers, unlike his last case which just had a judge. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61673676 I caught a BBC bulletin yesterday, and came away with the impression that a lot of those interviewed felt he should have been found guilty, because that supports women bringing charges in the future, rather than the evidence in the case. The beeb did balance it up by stating some details of Depp's win, a view from one of his supporters and a clip from his lawyer. But that didn't seem to be the main point they were trying to make. I'd want to see victims of any crime supported, and there are discussions to be had regarding reporting rates through charges and outcomes. But this coverage seems more about getting an outcome that suits their narrative, than anything connected to the evidence or individual case.

Is the Premier League too rich for us?

Good point. It's important we don't waste the £1 by overspending on rubbish. 🙂 -

I'm pleased we've cleared that big loan, to be left with a whole £1. 🙂 -
Athletic saying that he wants to play to be considered for World Cup. Yet, he'd consider not playing, but warming a bench, to reach the same goal.

Just to make it even more of an oh so nearly moment result, probably

Oh dear... Ukraine stronger, and better technically for that second goal.

Surely Scotland should bring on Armstrong so he and Adams can show the others a winning mentality....oh...
