I have an offer of Club Wembley if we make the final, which I'll probably take up.
-
Armchair plastic.
-
Not in Club Wembley, youth. Them's the posh leather ones.
-
I think in this case they'll be made from the skins of all the dead polar bears who will have died for the cause.
-
I'm coming from Birmingham and apparently there is a charter train from Moor Street...
-
Sounds good in that case!
-
36 years today we were at Hillsborough (social media tells me).
-
The U21s are playing Athletic Bilbao in the Premier League International Cup. I think it's the semi-final and I assumed it was 2 legs, but it has gone to extra time and Forest have just taken the lead.
-
2-0. 90 seconds left.
Penalty scored by Manni Norkett, which sounds like Ali G describing The Spice Girls... -
The first couple of paragraphs on Athletics article on MGW
"Morgan Gibbs-White is pointing. He points a lot.
He points to where he wants the ball. He points to where he thinks his team-mates should play the ball. He points to where he thinks his team-mates should run. He points to where he thinks his team-mates should be."
Tricky been coaching?
-
I'm not sure you could call Tricky a coach. Even if you took all his teeth out and put 52 seats in his gob.
-
Wet Ham away now a 2.15 kick off for TV.
-
It'll be postponed as the Big Red Train will be at City Ground South the day before for t'cup final. Or not.
-
Yeah. But shouting and pointing?
Nailed it.

Love that the stats crowd can't get their head around one of their favourite measurement stats not actually providing insight into a game of football.
Possession is only going to be insightful towards outcome if all other things are equal*. That is to say, if you have the majority of possession, but never try to score, you will not win a single game. Even if your possession is 100%. The stat these people really need is percentage per possession percent of actually trying to go something.
Or they could use their eyes.
* If one side takes risks with the ball, and tries to score**, and another side doesn't***, the outcomes will likely be quite different for the same possession, and same quality level.
** ie traditional English football.
*** ie this turgid Spanish dancing crap that the commercial corruption of football, in favour of protecting a small number of brands, has lumbered us with.
