Absolutely this….…..wouldn’t be anywhere near the top in a ‘poster you’d miss the least’ list in my book. Encyclopaedic knowledge of European football and tactical sense more than compensates for some of the slightly more left field stuff.

I totally agree. It's his football knowledge that is worth reading. The left field stuff may be well meant in his head, but he loses focus and goes off on all kinds of weird tangents. It's all a bit pytt i panna. - leftovers fried up in a pan.

A question regarding the news reporters based in Kiev, what happens if Russia take it over? Do they let them go unharmed as they are just reporting and nothing to do with it?
