David Bowie with Peter Frampton on guitar. They did their best, I suppose but, yes; pointless venue for a gig.

Right. Just as you cannot really call yourself a driver until you've had a decent accident, for a football manager, real clarity arrives the day you either win the league or get the sack.

They need to stick to hosting Taylor Swift concerts, imo.

We won't REALLY know him until he wins the Premier League, I think.

Wembley Stadium, d'you mean? In fairness, I understand things HAVE improved in recent years.

Fortunately, we are both clever AND honest. No wonder we never win anything :-|

Fair enough, I guess. But we're not spending our way out of this while Pep and Manchester City are around, same as last season.

We're actually doing very well, in any case; I love our manager and...

Sad but true. The lesson is: If you're going to cheat you'd better cheat very well :-\

That's the trouble, I'm afraid, that's what I mean; if international football isn't about identity then what IS it about.

Piece of piss, you'd think. Wear the blazer & tie, belt out the National Anthem and the job's a good 'un.

Today we simply have no footballistic ( :-( ) identity that everybody buys into, unlike...

Most importantly, we will ALL benefit from Pep being one year closer to the door.

He's never been a popular choice though as many, with some justification, believe him to be an out-of-his-depth yes-man who ought to have no business leading such a great crop of players. Not even...

Trouble is, we've been saying that since the nineteen-seventies, with the honourable exception of El Tel. :-\

Everyone out!

The Premier League IS the best but at the moment it looks tired, weary.

Thanks for that. I hadn't even considered the 'not funny' part :-|

Losing 1-0 away at Bayern is only actually a bad result in light of our recent history against them and in this competition generally.

Well done, everyone. We go again, as they say.

lol. Got plenty of those already.

No, what we need is a REAL killer. Eddie would do, so long as he promises to score fifty goals in the next nine months.

on this day in 1982.

So there's THAT :-)

In a word, sign Mbappe?

Yes, agreed.

Bad business, all round. Best forgotten.

You can if your hosts wish it.

Decent header, to be fair. Was he airborne, diving? Counts double then :-\

"Slight flaw"

Say what you like about Russians, they always know a place where decent sporting men can get a decent sporting drink.
