Glenn Murray talking about Mitrovic's goalscoring chances. "The goal doesn't move between the Championship and the Premiership." Just wondering whether I should update my signature now or later.

A sad day for music indeed. I grew up listening to my parents' Seekers albums. An excellent musical education. Judith Durham's rich voice was right up there with the best of female vocalists in terms of diction, pitch, vibrato. And from what I've seen from interviews, a really lovely person...

All about Maddie Hinch in goal for the hockey penalty shootout. Unbeatable.

Whilst sorry to see MC go, I feel strangely proud that Albion are rapidly becoming a 'sell and develop' side with a production line. Leicester sold the likes of Chilwell, Kante, Maguire and Mahrez for big money over 5 years and still went on to win the FA Cup. Raw undeveloped potential in for...

Huge money and a brilliant return after a year. Like White and Bissouma, it's another triumph of the club and Potter's tactics to polish up the diamonds to be sold. He deserves UCL football and a chance at recognition on the biggest stage in the World Cup. I wish him all the best and will...

Dairy Milk. Star Bar. Toblerone. Specifically Toblerone. I would wake up in the middle of the night and eat an entire Toblerone. And I don't mean a small one. I mean a medium-sized one.

Far better to be known and respected by all as a developer of prospective talent than just a buyer of developed talent. The former will make clubs money, the latter will only spend it.

"At the Commonwealth Games, Team England has used "Jerusalem" as the victory anthem since 2010. The Commonwealth Games Council for England conducted a poll of members of the public which decided the anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. The three options were "God Save the Queen"...

Very tough for England Women though with Canada getting that shot off a split second before the buzzer. Talk about fine margins. Either way, it's thrilling stuff, even if you don't really follow basketball!

Incredible end to the 3x3 Men's Basketball Gold medal match between England and Australia. No spoilers...but well worth staying up for on Today at the Games later tonight.

Stole the show last Friday on The Last Leg.

"When you come to the end of the line with a buddy who is more than a brother, and a little less than a wife, getting blind drunk together is really the only way to say farewell."

Quick polite correction, Swanny. I let it slide the first time you mentioned it, but can't really do it the 2nd! :smile: It was on 1st July 2004, when FIFA brought in yellow cards for post-goal shirt removal for 'unsporting conduct'. So not less than a year, but almost 5 years after Chastain...

Not the best, but the most appropriate chronologically speaking.

Maybe it's a limited addition?

When England won the '66 World Cup, it was a 16 team tournament just like the 2022 Women's Euros were and in 2025 will be. IMHO with the possible exception of semi-pro Northern Ireland, there really weren't any makeweights. 16 sides works for competitiveness for now. By contrast, next summer...

11th June 1988. Wembley Stadium. Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute. "The estimated audience for the Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute of 600 million in 67 countries was arguably an underestimate in that several broadcasters in Africa were given a free licence. However, the apartheid government...

Dan Roan (BBC Sport) raised 2 questions on tonight's 10pm news - girls' participation and WSL attendances / sustainability. We'd all hope that thousands of young girls have been inspired to play and there'll be every opportunity for them to do so. As far as the latter goes, it was interesting...

Of all of England's 6 games, I think the 2 at the Amex were arguably the best in very different ways. The 8-0 demolition of a Norway team thought to have been genuine competitors created the belief after a nervy opening game. Finding a way to beat a technically excellent Spanish side who'd...

Never in doubt. :wink:
