Thanks John. It is worth mentioning that Tracey Crouch was extremely quick to respond to us (twice in fact) in what must have been a very busy week for her. So politics aside she deserves credit for that. We now have that important connection into the Review.

Just shows there isn’t much strength in depth. Scratch below the obvious picks and we don’t have an awful lot. I’ve seen some poor England batting line ups in my time but this is right down there with the very worst of them.

Paul Weller - Wings of Speed Carleen Anderson has the voice of an angel on this one

James Ray - Got My Mind Set On You Its surprising how many people thought this was a George Harrison original when in fact it was a cover version.

The Style Council - Head Start For Happiness

Aye his dad died suddenly at a relatively young age (younger than me by some way anyway!). Must have been a tough time.

Robert Palmer - Some Guys Have All The Luck

That's right. There's basically only one team to beat, but if you don't beat them you're fooked!

Mods, if this is deemed to be offensive I do apologise and please remove. It was sent to me by a Rangers fan earlier and it is very clever and very funny but a bit near the knuckle in respect of sectarian things.

To be fair yes that's generally the way it works with young footballers and agents etc. Plenty of them go through the motions of feigning interest just in case they need a plan B, but you can't fault the player's logic. He wanted to play in European competition, which Rovers couldn't offer him at that time. Even Sam said that while we really wanted him we were never likely to get him.

Everything But the Girl - These Early Days

Entertaining knock from Mark Wood to help England past 300 this morning

I'm sure there is but when those two are so far ahead of everyone else when you play each other 4 times a season you can't be losing all 4 Old Firm games. I reckon Sellick are worth a punt for the title next season.

Stop giving away ridiculously sloppy goals and score first in the Old Firm games :)

Neil Young - Heart of Gold

Tom Robinson Band - Glad To Be Gay

Same goes for anyone in an old firm manager’s job I suppose. I doubt Gerrard would have lasted at Rangers beyond last season if they hadn’t stopped ten in a row. Rangers were many miles ahead but everything went their way and that won’t happen every year. It doesn’t take a genius to work out what Celtic need to do to narrow the gap.

By that set of benchmarks what is he meant to do then?

I didn't really know where to put this, but it seems Lewandowski was never going to sign for the Rovers, volcanic ash cloud or not, from the horse's mouth. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19360936.lewandowski-sets-record-straight-failed-blackburn-rovers-move/

Unbelievable that he should admit to not having seen a foul. As @arbitrowill no doubt confirm, rule number 1 for a referee is "never guess".

Damien Rice - The Box

I've been taking a lot of shit off them mate and I've pretty much kept my gob shut (unlike me!) apart from wearing my England shirt in every work zoom meeting since the draw was made. If we get an early goal we could embarrass them, but these 'auld enemy' games very rarely work out like that sadly.

He might surprise a few people. I hope so.

Yeah I was just about to post similar. He will be able to speak enough Spanish to get by one would imagine.
