Ah yes, I remember that semi final very well . Who the fuck is Stevie May again?

Another positive with having Considine making the Scotland squad is that it gives the national team another party song.

Yes Sir, I Can Boogie: Why disco hit is now Scotland's unofficial anthem

The 1970s disco classic has become the country's unofficial anthem ahead of the match with England.

What I love about this is that he’s begun to receive what can only be describe as the beginning of a racially motivated campaign from the right wing media in the U.K. for humiliating the tories.

Marcus Rashford has bought five luxury homes worth more than £2million

Marcus Rashford, 23, has ploughed an estimated £1.5 million into three houses on a new estate in Wilmslow, Cheshire, as well as buying a house and flat in Macclesfield.

This was his only response



And his first public action was to launch yet another positive campaign to help improve children’s lives.

This sport/life can make you cynical but he really does seem to be one of the good ones who makes you feel a little bit of pride in working class people and values and that people can hold on to them even when their own lives are completely transformed.

Yep. And not to knock Phil Foden, who is a good footballer and likely a nice lad but.

Also read the subtle subtext in the language used and the way terms are couched in the article as well as the sensationalist headline.

All the same right wing rag too.

I think Arsenal and Barcelona fans hate him more but I didn’t want him to start with and his demeanour over the 3 years was a disgrace.

That said he does appear to have regained his mojo this year and wow is Kane a really top drawer player who is improving all the time. This is the best I’ve seen him play, his evolution from a greedy goal scorer to a team player, whilst still keeping the goals, is a really exciting transition for Spurs. I still think the centre halves might see you fall short but this is a much better team than I thought it was.

Doesnt work

That said fixture scheduling has been particularly bizarre. Ole was rightfully furious about us playing the early game on a Saturday off the back of an away game in Istanbul on the Wednesday evening. It’s crazy.

Yeah he’s right, even if they’re lucky in that unlike us with the 6 hour flight back from Istanbul before the Everton match they are at least at home. I think the opportunism by some of the smaller clubs in forcing the PL to be the only league without 5 subs and the crazy scheduling is going to play havock with injuries in the second half of the season.
