My consistent bug-bear is making simple passes that _eventually_ get to a teammate in space. (Think of all those passes across the back line..)

The receiver should not have to wait - even half a sec.

It gives defences time to adjust. Kills momentum.

Clip it, if it's a ball to feet.

We appear to be just 2 points off "havent-they-been-doing-well" Chelsea in 4th.
Mad that.

Fucking hell ... I'd forgotten that David fucking Davis was Brexit minister ... what an absolute waste-of-space loser. A bunch of unjustified public school confidence without a single bit of intelligence to back it up.
He was being honest - he just didn't finish the sentence:

...wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit _for him_.
David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit.

Tradition: Nothing more pointless than playing a Third Place Playoff match..

Breaking: Third Place Playoff over TWO LEGS

Geniuses 🤢
The Women’s Nations League final will be decided by tonight’s second leg.

Spain will be without three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmatí after she broke her leg in training over the weekend.

France are currently 2-1 up in the third place playoff.

Catching up with #MOTD

What's this Chelsea trick of writhing on the ground like a dying salmon..?

They weaken the case for a opponent's yellow/red by hamming it up so much!

Seems he was furious when he was rescued - he'd been saving the best wine till last and never got to try it
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

With the world being… gestures wildly at everything… one of the most important things we can still do is laugh - sometimes hysterically, sometimes just to stay sane.

So, with that in mind, I present to you:

People Who Make Me Laugh.

Let me know in the comments who rlse should be added.

Tired: "I forgot about that"

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said "very comprehensive due diligence" was done on presidential candidate Jim Gavin, but that an issue with a former tenant was "probably buried somewhere in the recesses of his mind".

I reckon Russell Martin and Jim Gavin should just swap roles now they're both gone.

Remember.. if Mo puts his chance away start of the second half, then Wirst would have a claim to assist of the season

Mo will shine again - but gotta play less until then

I don't see it as a crisis, but there are obviously issues bringing all this talent - new & old - together

However.. nobody should be undropable

And form should have Mo starting on the bench until it picks up - as we know it will

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.
