Norwich and Watford gone. Between Burnley, Everton, Leeds and Brentford for the other spot. Hodgson was a shocking choice for Watford. 

I hope it's Burnley. The bottom 3 as it stands don't offer much in the PL. Burnley have been escaping relegation for years, their time is up. Everton made quite a few wrong decision over the last few years, but I don't want them relegated. Decent club and fans. Leeds and Brentford can stay, but wouldn't mind either way if they went down.

Apparently there's a £20,000 limit on travel costs to matches. Which is going to make Champions League away trips (eg Lille next week) logistically interesting for them. 

Imagine a few of them sharing a room in a youth hostel in Munich in the QF of the Champions League

Turkey is apparently going to block the Bosporus for Russian warships.

They didn't before as they didn't recognise the situation as a war and therefore needed to allow passage according to the Montreux Convention. The Turkish minister of foreign affair now stated it's a war on CNN, so Russia can no longer pass.

I catch myself thinking every morning when opening news websites 'I hope Kiev hasn't fallen last night'.

With the images of the convoy heading that way, I think tonight might be the night.

You think they have fair elections in Russia?

That’s what scares me most. They’d have weighed up pretty much the worst case scenario in terms of sanctions and their economy and he still thought the best option was to invade a country and kill hundreds of thousands of people. 

I don't think he expects the death toll to be that high. he probably thinks this will be a lot easier.

Is the Chernobyl nuclear reactor reportedly under attack?

I've heared this a few times in the last few minutes, so it must be true

1) Twilight Princess

2) ocarina of time

3) a link to the past

4) Breath of the wild

5) majora’s mask 

of the series, the worst I’ve played was spirit tracks. A link between worlds, Skyward sword, links awakening all decent, but lacking something unique or just being as good in the same formula as my current top 3.

Don’t forget drawing fouls. I’ve never seen a player better at getting fouled in my life. Not sure it’s high up on Peps priorities though. 
 

Another case of a big move that hasn’t quite gone as planned. Like Benteke and Delph before him the grass isn’t always greener. He’ll have a title and plenty of cash though so all not lost. 
 

Actually genuinely hope it does improve for him. I hold no bitterness and it’s a bit of shame to see him so out of his comfort zone like this. 

At least his shins are getting a breather.

As previously suggested, it seems he doesn’t want to fight for a place with Digne and instead wants to guarantee playing time, which to a degree is understandable however to go from POTS to not wanting to fight for your place is a bit odd and a bit of a cop out if it is the case. 

To go from POTS to being the first one being replaced/upgraded on is also odd from the players’ perspective

Stephen Breyer to retire from supreme court, giving Biden chance to pick liberal judge

New US Supreme court nomination incoming. Let's see who Biden picks.

Surprised the didn't throw in a random youth player valued at 30 million

This randomly made me think about Sessegnon (not one of their youth players of course, but as always Onomah was involved). Once the best talent in the championship, now wasting away on their bench.

Finally a yellow for shaw

We deserve to be at least level. manU are poor

This is obviously photoshopped, no way Davis scored a goal

For you zelda fans, although its not a proper zelda game hyrule warrors age of calamity is a great game. Finally did it although some of the side missions are **** impossible

Tried the demo. At first it seemed a lot of fun slashing at bokoblins, but I got bored with it quite fast.

I am playing Skyward Sword again. Not the best Zelda game, but still a good game.

Literally anything was better than Trump but Biden is visibly ageing in front of our eyes. I don't know if he could make it to 2024 let alone try to get re-elected.  

It will probably be a 2020 rerun because both Biden and Trump can raise the most money in the super pac committees.  And there is no obvious alternatives.

Considering Biden is very likely to become a lame duck president in a year, I doubt he will have much to run on in 2024. Biden is indeed ageing so he should/ the Ds should know better that have him run again in 2024. They probably will though

Just to entertain us, from 2024 South American teams are joining the UEFA Nations League

Great idea, perhaps we should invite countries from all over the world, every continent can participate with a few delegates. That would be an interesting tournament.

I agree with the concept. Just wish it wasn't West Ham!

Also, by a club like West Ham earning CL money, doesn't that give them the opportunity to increase the gap between them & us?

That would also be the case if it were Everton, Leicester or Wolves.

Anyone breaking the Sky6 getting in the CL is fine by me. 1 club growing makes 3 others decline

Oh God yes, this is the least of the worries about them - but it says something about their competency.

 

I wouldn't want you at work  . I know plenty of colleagues who have done something correctly 1000 times and made a mistake 1001. Doesn't make them incompetent.

I can't recall this happening before, so they usually do this without any errors.

Meh, it looks stupid, but errors happen. 

There's a lot worse about UEFA than them screwing up a draw for once (they usually do it correctly)
