of the junior school playground. Everyone just chasing the ball around. Before long I expect to see all 22 players gathered around the penalty area while the 'keeper tries to take a goal kick.

It's a load of old *******s and I'm done with it.

I blame the Germans. At least when the Italians sought cynically to suck all the joy out of football they didn't try to hide it.

I'm done with Germans. A German diplomat was rude to me yesterday and received a full and frank explanation as to why he should never contact my office again. There was even a little industrial language. The coward backed doiwn and apologised.

I hate them b. I've always hated them. Arrogant bástards to a man. (la excepted, natch.)

I'm listening to thon book btw. It's jolly good, isn't it? I rather like how he's presenting it in the form of a rattling good yarn.

A rude diplomat is surely an oxymoron? You should have asked for your grandad's bike back while you were at it.

Yes, I was worried it might be rather dry, but I rattled through it in no time and was rather sorry when it ended.

Funnily enough, I recently asked a newly-retired extremely high-ranking diplomat whether, at the end of such a long and distinguished career of diplomacy, he had got a little end-of-termish and was tempted to be gratuitously rude to Angela Merkel. He looked puzzled for a moment, for the thought had never occurred to him. Then he absolutely pissed himself Charming fellow.

His others may be worth a look as well, I'd say. https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/10...and-white.html

What would they do with a Bergy nowadays? It didn't work when we played him as a lone forward. No-one ahead of him to pass to.

If there's no place for DB10 in modern football, I'm done with the sport.

He would be good enough to reinvent himself GG. I mean Harry Kane is being praised as the second coming at the moment for setting up for a few goals. But, yeah, it's hard to get excited at the moment. Young Saka may be our only hope ...
