Obviously a bit about Leicester in this interview on 90s football from Brian Little. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/quickly-kevin-will-he-score-the-90s-football-show/id1209129231?i=1000637373704

Personally think Villa are as good as Arsenal to be honest. Liverpool stronger than both though.

A tilt 18,000 years ago doesn’t explain why warmth is increasing much more quickly in recent decades, roughly in line with more fossil fuel burning.

Are these ran by Ben Chilwell now?

With a very young side as well. They were always likely to be up and down this year.

Wilf crossing masterclass.

So Kel’s chance was less than 0.1 chance of a goal? Not sure about that. It’s pretty well matched. Two sides with similar styles. Felt we tried more forward through passes in that half, it’s just Weat Brom defended them very well. Again, own worst enemy at times, but still their only real chance was when the ball landed on one of their players’ foot at a corner.

Brilliant challenge from Justin on the rebound off the post.

Would like to read that dossier on Leicester the West Brom manager was reading just before kick off.

Some of that was like watching the ‘shite 90s football’ Twitter account and I’m not just talking about Paterson. In fact one of two highlights is his brave decision for the very dark tache which just highlights the gray even more. Other highlight was the goal obviously. Great touch and finish. I don’t understand what Enzo is trying to do with Faes at left back.

Has any journalist asked Dyche/anyone connected with Everton what punishment they think they should have got?

I’m not sure if the Loughborough Greenfields ground is the same one or was built as a replacement. It’s also close to Forest Road, but not on it. Loughborough Town’s Park Road might be an option too especially with the Dips Patel connection.

Nearly an hour after the game finished, that was the worst trophy presentation I’ve ever seen.

Had The Chemical Brothers on my list for about 25-years and finally saw them in Birmingham the other week. Think Portishead is the other big one I’ve left to do. I had tickets to see Low but one half of them died just a few weeks beforehand. Warpaint, Four Tet, Run The Jewels, Pixies and Young Fathers on the next tier.

That’s horrendous. Also, what’s the odds on it snowing now Dec 26? Still have nightmares about that 6-1.

Not sure it’s smarter, just more blatant and they know there’s no answer to it. If I was Aus I’d have just put in a bare minimum bid spending as little as possible. They’ve surely got the stadia anyway, plus FIFA’s whole reason for going to Russia and Qatar was officially about taking it to new places. Just quote those words back at them.

Judging from his reaction i don’t think he knew it was a rule. Great game really enjoyed it.

Not laughed in a while at anything on TV as much as I did both red cards.

You’re right she’s power hungry, but the far right of the party are also using her as a puppet. Heard claims some of her speeches including the one that echoed Enoch Powell recently are being written by those members instead. Those members would deny it of course.

Tin foil hat on - The three-man FA appeal panel that ruled going into a room and punching someone twice should only have been dealt with by a two week fine included a former Wimbledon player (Robbie Earle, though admittedly I think Wise left a few months before Earle joined) and an ex Forest manager and future chairman (Frank Clark). I don’t blame other supporters for forgetting the ITV Digital collapse and how having just dropped from the Prem, we were in the worst possible place to suffer from that. Any team will struggle if they suddenly have no money from TV.

Won the same amount as third and fourth place put together. Only 10 more wins and we’ve won the same amount as West Brom were promoted with in second place a few years ago.

Interesting they’re stretching us which means we have to try longer passes which are not as accurate and causing more problems. When we do get through though there’s plenty of options at the back. We probably need three, but reckon we’ll probably get three to be honest. They’re not going to tire as much as other teams though.

Imagine an old giraffe accidentally waking the ball into the net.

Deflects wickedly off Dewsbury-Hall. He did well to keep it down though.

Partly defending poorly because they’re so lop sided too. Phillips is understandably off it so Rice is helping him out more and that leaves Rashford being both the sole attacker and solely responsible for tracking the Italian midfield and right back down England’s left.
