I don’t know whether I’ll be using a Mick McCarthy or Homer Simpson meme to reply to this tomorrow

Less stairs and more escalators

Using the Susan Hall tactics worked well for the Tories last time. Yet Blue Labour seem determined to go right of Enoch at all costs

The away renewal is going to land right when I’m financially embarrassed

Did any of you worry that when you saw the players walking out and lining up at either side, that they may have to give Gianni Infantino a guard of honour?

If he isn’t riding for “the lads”, steer clear. Anyone who has Tom Queally as a brother in law makes me nervous…

The amusing thing is they’re taking the commentary feed from DAZN, including their clunking cross- promotion (no worse than TNT tbf). So some unsuspecting Channel 5 viewers may think there’s a Logan Paul fight upcoming…

See, I’m not even with Thames. Guess they are all as bad as each other anyway

No, but I may have to consider it. I’m not excessive with usage but had boiler issues a few months back that meant repeated engineer visits and taps running for ages to see if the water heated up!

I’d also imagine the alternative host nations if it wasn’t in the States would be equally unpalatable. Because I’m assuming it would be Saudi Arabia.

If I refused to go to places based on their politicians I’m not sure I’d leave the house. I’ve visited Hungary with Orban in charge and didn’t give it a thought. I’m guessing the lack of a shared language means I didn’t have his thoughts broadcast on the news daily so it was never a consideration…

For a bloke who claims he refused to watch a single minute of the Conference League because it was Mickey Mouse, he’s changed his tune… £££

It’s absolutely crackers. Probably means I end up watching the show though…

It looked like a book cleaning exercise in conjunction with Atletico Madrid. They couldn’t pay for Conor until we paid for Felix, and then over to the accountants.

I do hope there aren’t accounts out there who rejoiced at Gallagher, Chalobah, Chilwell etc getting bombed last summer bemoaning how Felix is being treated now…

This is also why Kwasi Kwarteng walked away relatively unscathed from the 2022 mini-budget.

They are using blue tick accounts who are paid to react everytime Todd Boehly farts as their barometer.
I’m waiting for them to turn on Estevao when it turns out he ain’t ready yet…

I’m not throwing myself into a pit of despair just yet, this “deadline” is a media construct purely to get eyes on SSN/Romano in early June. If Maignan and Gittens sign in July I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
Seems like the same planet brained people haven’t learned after getting away with it though…

Elon thinking he’s being edgy bringing up the Epstein association when John Oliver got bored with it a year ago is kind of on-brand isn’t it?

I honestly thought Millie had pulled out of the recent internationals purely to avoid questions about Earps all week. Guess I had that wrong

Earps I can see how it may have happened, Kirby stepping away like this is very odd, everyone doing this before the tournament rather than after feels like a mutiny of sorts…

My experiences at PSG away games has completely clouded my view of Paris and France as a whole. Until they sort their gas happy police out they should never host a major final or tournament again

Croke Park for the All Ireland hurling final. Even if her Galway lot were playing and she was roaring her head off the whole time 😂😂

For a contrast, Sarah Mulkerrins!
And one of the new Gladiators on the rebooted show comes from Enniscorthy, which is 20 miles from where my parents grew up and moved back to. Unsuspecting BBC viewers thought she was American…

Think it’s mostly excitement at the CL for the players tbh. Can’t imagine anyone doing a Trevor Birch and visiting the dressing room before the game this time around
