I quite liked the tie-dye one.

Like it.

But do we have the funds to replace them with someone better? Both Barnes and Hernandez are in the final year of their contracts. I can't see either getting extensions. Duffy, inexplicably, has two more years.

Actually seems like a good mix of appointments. Having at least one voice from an overseas perspective could prove useful, seeing as we do have a fair few fans abroad who follow the club.

"Wot they doin in traynun, neyull?"

Sometimes you just have to improvise.

What did you expect him to say? "Well, my contract didn't get renewed at Norwich. So I'm just glad I've got another job. I wasn't first choice at Norwich, which will probably be the case here too. Because I'm not that good, really. Though if we do get promoted, I'll still get a pay rise. So, you know, kerching!"

No, it wasn't. Two morons set fire to a bus. No. One police car was tipped on its side, which the police retrieved. No police cars were burned.

Depends whether you believe it or not, I suppose.

Believe it or not, there are still some people who don't have smartphones. Particularly the elderly. Considering the age of a sizeable portion of our fan base, this could be a problem.

Are you his wife's lawyer, by any chance?

Ho-hum. Spain have been the best side throughout the tournament. They had a clear plan and made it work. Deserved to win tonight. England pushed them harder than any other team. But, for the wealth of attacking talent they have, just don't consistently play as a team.

Judging by all the shoes, I assumed it was Imelda Marcos.

On the radio, some woman said it coincided with her wedding. So they've decided to show the match at the reception, afterwards. Saying they would all be pretty hammered by then, either way.

On a lighter note, Gareth Southgate doppelganger spotted in Germany:

Good stuff. Thanks for the heads-up. Wolfie.

I see the nutters are out in force. Sigh. When someone posts something that requires putting into context, Twitter doesn't do it instantaneously. As it is, I provided the context on this thread two hours after initially posting. Twitter then took two days to provide the same information. Or did you choose to ignore this when you posted?

Then don't invoke casual transphobia and islamophobia. Maybe then you might be treated like a grown-up.

When you're actually giving your own views on something other than football, it reminds me how much of a nutjob you really are. And a nasty, petty little nutjob at that.

So a party, which is actually just Nigel Farage Far-right PLC, based entirely on witch hunting immigrants cries foul. Aw, my heart bleeds. This tweet sums it up.

What made it so absurd is that even if the club are seriously considering selling Idah, the Sporting Director and head coach are not going denigrate and devalue one of the club's assets in a public forum.

I went. I thought Johannes spoke very well, and came across as a very serious-minded and determined coach. But also with a sense of humour too. I thought the question from the audience member who tried to throw Adam Idah under the bus was out of order. Pleased with Knapper and Thorup's no-nonsense response.
