It was a stupid thing to say at the time and it remains so.

My biggest regret tonight is that the rat didn’t bite Courtois.

Absolutely world class of the Barry Horns to be playing Three Blind Mice while the rat was still on the pitch. The shit England band would’ve played the great escape. Again. We’ve got that, at least.

If I’m honest, I think I’m just still annoyed with him for choosing to to play them on Thursday. Also slightly random to bump into you now just!

That’s the full end of the honeymoon and possibly regression to the mean.

Lovely piece by Dafydd Pritchard on Ben Davies

Serves also to reinforce that he should be made permanent captain and we bin off the vice this and stand-in that

Hard to look past the goal-line clearance vs Slovakia in the 2016 Euros innit?!

But he’s scored more goals for Wales as Kevin Ratcliffe, Fred Keanor, Eric Young & James Chester combined.

Also, he does this when he disagrees with someone in a press conference & once you see it, you can unsee it!

Ben Davies doesn’t agree with you, Mr Journalist, but he’s too diplomatic and too much of a pro to tell you you’re a prat.

We had something kinda approaching a sorta title race in the #CymruPremier last year.

Back to the usual parade this year. Even Mike Harris must get a bit bored of it.

They hardly ever do anything in Europe in the summer, but come back and smash everyone else domestically every fucking year.

It’s never boring playing us Kev!

If selected, De Bruyne will have played in 53% of all of Cymru’s games against Gwlad Belg!

He’s currently 9/18 - 50% obvs!!

Podcast Pêl-droed @podcastpeldroed.bsky.social · 4d

Monday's game will be the 19th time Cymru men have faced Belgium since the first match in 1949 in Ougrée

It's only the other home nations and the ROI (19 times) that we have faced the same number of times or more

Overall record:
P18 W 5 D 5 L8 F 27 A28

We really need to capitalise on this!
Last night is already forgotten, but we have to be right at it on Monday.

Aros yn bositif/Staying positive.However:

*Need Neco on Doku 13/10. Best bet of containing him.So need another fullback fluid at LB/RB (big ask of Dasilva/Kpakio)
*Cullen can’t play in a two.Need JJ with Ampadu
*Need more from Brennan.Body language & more
*Set piece basics.KDB will notice

Noson anodd. Methu rhoi gols hawdd i tîm fel 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Ond well 2il hanner,a egni cefnogwyr Y Wal Goch yn anhygoel. Ymlaen i 🇧🇪 13/10

Difficult night. Can’t give easy goals to a team like 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. But better 2nd half,& energy of Red Wall supporters was incredible,Wembley quiet otherwise…Onwards to 🇧🇪 13/10
