A team with 12 players might just be what we need.

I fear we may regret not getting a second goal in that first-half. Spurs cannot be so poor again ... can they?

Of course we looked like scoring. Two superb saves from their goalkeeper made him many people's Man of the Match.

Only 8-0 ? Lightweights!! You need to lose 9-0 to be truly humiliated.

The absence of Geoffrey Boycott has improved TMS immeasurably. What a relief not to hear about Yorkshire every other sentence!

Shane Long signed a two-year contract extension - but this was earlier in the summer BBC report dated 4 June. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52922596

Mildly surprised Villa v Birmingham isn't in the list.

Caught the Sky commentators out.

Quite. It tells us more about Glen Hoddle (who chose the MoM) than it does about Ramsdale.

The headline was ... QUEEN IN BRAWL AT PALACE

Gerry Queen was sent off for fighting in a match at Selhurst Park. The newspaper headline was

Yes, no red cards for us ... nor for any of his other teams (Stuttgart, Valencia, Chelsea, Barca B) https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=56600

Everyone before Rickie Lambert ...

I’d like to see Bertrand use his pace and bomb up the left flank.

A magnificent performance. A word of praise to City for playing fair; no diving in the penalty box and then screaming at the ref.

Reminds me a bit of the win away at Leeds

Wonderful header against Everton - about 1 Min 20 secs in. A big domo arigato to a great team player. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Czfw9nIFZ0s

Yes, the date given is Wednesday 26 June ... which is odd as Wednesday (today) is 24 June. https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2020-06-22/sky-sports-free-now-tv-passes-southampton-season-ticket-holders-premier-league

French fizz? Italian fizz? Oz fizz? ... English?

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere ... I see Season Ticket holders can obtain a free NOW TV pass for our matches being shown on Sky. NOW TV free pass

During the Norwich match I heard OWTSGMI being sung as part of the crowd background noise. Very refreshing it was, too.

The lockdown began on 23 March (a week earlier for those over 70) and the number of daily deaths started to decline a few weeks after. I read that as showing the lockdown has, to some extent, worked.

I tried to download the Covid-10 app for us Isle of Wight residents this morning. Failed. The app is incompatible with my Samsung smartphone. I need to have Android 8 or higher, apparently. I am not alone in having this problem. No, it is NOT because us oldies don't understand the technology it is simply us oldies don't require an all-singing, all-dancing device. We just want something we can use as a telephone, a text messenger, to go online and to check the tide times. I don't need FaceBook, Instagram or Twitter, just something with Big Buttons and a Large Font. Never mind. I can look Messrs Hancock and Seely (MP for IW) in the eye and tell them I tried to download, had no success, but took comfort in the allure of the gin bottle instead.

Has anyone worn a simple medical facemask? I have a few left in a packet I purchased from when I was last in Tokyo. They are simple enough to use but not immediately obvious to distinguish the back from the front. I could be wearing one, remove it to have a drink or a sandwich and then put it back the wrong way round without realising. Thus putting any virus that might have been on the outside directly into my breathing area. A simple (but possible deadly) error. My obvious advice to those who might have a similar style of mask and be unfamiliar with wearing one ... put some kind of mark on the mask so that you will know which side is which.
