All the best someplace else,, Ruud. I've got nothing against you personally. I just think you were the wrong manager at the wrong time. More than anything, I blame our board and their management skills – or rather, their skill in picking a suitable first-team manager. I just can't get my head around the fact they thought one of the best strikers in PL history would be able to fix our leaky defense or give us some sort of team cohesion. Utterly baffling. And I do agree, it's a rather peculiar timing. Could've been done weeks ago. No need to couple it to the announcement of a successor.

Probably the best choice besides Christopher Nolan. I'd say Robert Eggers would do a great job, too.

Shame Meta won't release the Quest 3S XBOX VR headset outside of the US and the UK... Would've loved to get my hands on one. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/06/24/meta-quest-3s-xbox-edition/ Would anyone order one for me from Argos or EE?

Build from the back, they say. Defense wins Championships, they say. Love him or hate him – right now, I think we do need a manager like Dyche. Never been a big fan, but if he helps us shaping a team that deserves that name and instills a "ne'er quit" mentality, I'm in. Some players, the main culprits from this joke of a season that has just passed, do need a good kick up their arse.

Does that mean Stade Reims stay in Ligue 1? Or will Dunkerque and Guingamp have to fight it out in another playoff fixture?

Certainly was a nail-biter, going into extra-time. Fantastic to see Oviedo back in the top flight, they have the better, bigger fanbase, the bigger stadium. What a journey from the depths of going into administration. Have to say, though – the penalty looked a bit soft. Now Santi Cazorla has to add another season. Legend. Always liked him, be it at Villarreal or Arsenal.

I really dig the new Cambrige United home shirt:

I've come around quite a bit. At first, I though it'd be an unnecessary strain on teams and players in what we used to call off-season. But after all, footballers want to play, the clubs get more exposure, can gain more followers – and money. I found most matches at the Club World Cup quite entertaining, there's tons of exciting, "exotic" matchups. However, fan response has been mixed so far, I'd say Mexican, Brazilian and Argentine supporters are saving the competition. Some of the US stadiums look stunning – such as Nashville or Miami to name two. Imagine LCFC taking part in this tournament at one point, you'd love to see it!

Now watch him sign for RB Leipzig.

Some great matchups and matches (judging by the highlights), just a pity there's hardly any audience in the stadiums. Sergio Ramos now playing in Mexico has completely passed me by.

Oh, Canada... The curse for the Canuck teams continues. What a shame. Montréal, Ottawa, Trohno, Winnipeg. Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver – you're such letdowns.

German national team celebrating 125 years of DFB.

Florian Wirtz going to Liverpool – for £116m. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cpw742nre1go Scandalously high fee. Good on Leverkusen, though.

Real Oviedo on the brink of promotion to La Liga. Santi Cazorla still kickin' it – at age 40. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/soccer/cazorla-40-sends-oviedo-into-la-liga-play-off-final/ar-AA1GAHnz To think that fans had so save the club more than twelve years ago.

"Pet Sounds" is probably one of the most beautifully crafted pop albums of all times. The world has lost a musical genius. The Mozart of his era.

Is the battery life really as bad as some claim it to be? I've watched a video and a full charge apparently lasts more than half as long as the one on the Switch 1 OLED model (playing Fortnite straight through until the battery hit 0%; 2 hours and 13 minutes, compared to almost 5 1/2 hours).

ManU third shirt:

Rovrum's centenary shirts:

Apparantly a nod to the 1974/75 away shirt. I find this one from their retro range quite interesting – I didn't know Chelsea used green in their kits:

Two talented girls from... Argentina.

Chelsea away shirt:

Fiorentina tickets are advertised on the LCFC website... but no tickets available yet. This club.

Been waiting for this for about a decade – XBOX goes handheld: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/06/08/xbox-handheld-rog-ally-x-games-showcase/ Out later this year. Just hope the console isn't too pricey.
