Did a job but clearly doesn't fit our medium term plan. No problem with doing this now rather than leave £10m+ on the table when he was inevitably moved on in the summer anyway.

Appreciate it leaves us short as it stands but big difference this time is we'll probably put the money to good use.

Wish him all the best and hopefully he gets to enjoy the Championship next year.

The last three tournaments running, all we’ve had to do is beat 1 decent team 

Other than Croatia in the Euro's I cant think when you've beaten a decent team in a competitive scenario in the last 25 years.

Just seen they have been issued with an eviction notice by the new owners of the CBS Arena.

Every major tournament I get misty eyed remembering France '98 when the red button let you turn off the **** commentary.

God it was glorious.

Takeover collapsing a week after those supposed new owners had just paid for someone to knock half their stadium down? Ouch 

A home tie? Is that allowed?

Yes you can also get the 5live commentary over the game. It's on iplayer

Frying pan, fire, come to mind

South Kore... I mean Qatar must progress.

It's not even close.

Initially quite liked both, the more I look at the shield one it just seems "off" to me so I'd go with round. The hybrid someone mocked up earlier would be my pick in a perfect world.

Either is a massive improvement on our current monstrosity.

Quite bizarre really, all the PR yesterday looked like a push to set him apart as a sensible option, yet he only thing missing from that same old shit PMQ's performance was a "captain hindsight" reference. I know in practice and policy its business as usual but I'm surprised they've immediately embraced that from an optics perspective too.

Braverman!? What a **** joke

There is something about the way Beth Rigby says "Sir" that makes me feel physically sick.

"Soccer"

How about that, pick a balanced team, sure up the centre mid and it releases everyone to play to their strengths.

All the pundits will start wailing about the players letting Gerrard down but **** that, complete opposite is true. Lovely to see them show what they are capable of when they aren't hamstrung from the off.

Well we're 24hr in, you know the drill...

I don't "love" it by any means but it was decent. Kind of funny looking back considering.

Correct. I can't see how anyone could like "TB Sheets" and not love the Astral Weeks album. 

I knew I'd get some shit for that one. Believe me I've tried, multiple times and don't fully understand why it doesn't click. But here we are.

yup. it's great.

You know what... yeah... you're right.

The batshit political timeline we are currently in would suggest Johnson gets it and is almost immediately suspended when ongoing ethics committee investigation concludes.

About a week ago (when the idea of a Johnson return was still ludicrous) there was a journalist on BBC I think saying how they had a whole stack of other stories ready to go if he attempted a return. That could be interesting if true.
