She's changed, I suppose that's what marrying Prince Andrew does to you.

Hilarious goal for Club Brugge against Villa. Goalie Martinez on 6 yard line takes goalkick and passes to Tyrone Mings about three feet away, Mings picks ball up and places it on 6 yard line thinking it's not in play...penalty! MOTD tonight for C.L. highlights

Lots of great shows I watch, my top 10 posted above, here's a shout to my next ten favourites. Black Books, Blackadder, Bottom, Toast Of London, Reginald Perrin, Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, The Squirrels, Chelmsford 123, I Didn't Know You Cared and Father Dear Father.

Top ten for me, in no particular order. Father Ted, Red Dwarf, Ever Decreasing Circles, Lead Balloon, Fawlty Towers, Brittas Empire, Not Going Out, IT Crowd, Alan Partridge ( all series) and Rising Damp. Lead Balloon, never heard of it until recently, really recommend it.

Judging by previous balls ups, the stand alone times will probably still be three games on Friday , K.O. times, 20.00, 20.05, and 20.10

A rather redundant concept, might as well go back 1000 years, Kingdom of Mercia v Kingdom of Northumbria

A sad day,no more Darren Farley and his Ten Hag gold standard mimicry.

England football seems to fill Wembley in the evenings alright. Fans from all over the country come, watch match and go home, no need for hotels.

Ten Hag on West Ham defeat.

I wasnt thinking of the surface, but the prep goes into putting branding in for NFL must take a few days to complete, so they couldn't hold RL and NFL same weekend. Anyway if Tottenham have all NFL booked up would they particularly want to hold another event in a crowded period.

Tottenham are already advertising hospitality for 2025 NFL games for October/November, plus Spurs likely EPL and UEFA games likely taking place, the RFL if they want Tottenham had better book pronto, can't do it in new year, too late I suspect. https://www.eventmasters.co.uk/nfl-london-hospitality/nfl-hospitality-2025.html

4 EPL games this afternoon, all in London. West Ham in east London, Crystal Palace in the south, Arsenal, north, and Chelsea in the west. A first perhaps.

AFL - I've tried getting into this, but I just can't. The skill is minimal, handling skills poor and just booting the ball isn't particularly thrilling. But like Basketball the ease of scoring is a big turn off for me. Its so frequent it just loses all meaning. I'm sure the Aussies would love soccer if the goals were twenty feet high and fifteen feet wide with no goalkeeper, and scores of 20/ 15. Yawnion, boring, NFL, a mess, all that effort and complexity to throw a ball ten yards, and you get four goes at it. Then the poor dears troop off to allow specialists on to er... throw the ball ten yards. Gaelic football is quite enjoyable, close to soccer which is my favourite, just ahead of RL and cricket. What I like other than the game is the characters and scope of it. So many characters like Mourinho, shooting his mouth off last night after being sent off, this draws people in. Pep, Arteta the moaner Sean " the bouncer " Dyche etc. I'm sure if RL coaches stood on the touchline berating the refs, and being generally controversial and confrontational RL would see the benefit in heightened media interest.

I have a premonition that your odyssey will end with a different type of filling, as recommended by your dentist. " Well Mr Goose, that's two fillings and an extraction for you, £200 please." BTW- Jack's mince pies from Budgens ,a subsidiary of Tesco, are poor.

....in league B of the Nations League thanks to the ineptitude of Southgate who got us relegated. Seriously it should be 6 out of 6 wins against this opposition with the talent we have. The FA have a problem if they want an English manager, there's not many in the Premier League, Dyche, O'Neill, Copper, Howe and that's it, Russell Martin is Scottish. None of whom are experienced with trophy winning teams. Personally I'd give it to Tuchel before Man Utd get him.

No it was above board, all EFL matches yesterday were on live on SS+, part of the new deal. With no top tier games played it was a good way for Sky to work towards their commitment to show every EFL team 20 times this season, and get some extra viewers for lower leagues.

That's the crux of it, the soccer leagues don't arrange the international breaks, FIFA and UEFA and other federations do. The leagues do as they are told. The punishment if they don't? Get booted out the world game. RL really needs a world governing body that actually governs for things to change. I don't necessarily blame the NRL for international RL situation, if the Premier League ran international soccer they wouldn't prioritise it either.

Apart from England games on ITV and Wales on Iplayer ( in Welsh), all other games on Viaplay International YouTube. This is because no one has bought the rights off of Viaplay who hold them, and have now left the UK market. Actually this isn't bad at all, because we've got the pick of the games for free on YouTube. Link below to website that I've added to my phone menu, which shows where all games on TV are, which channel, for every competition throughout the season. https://www.live-footballontv.com/uefa-nations-league-on-tv.html

Date 19th of Beckham 3054 -late news The planet of New Ozstraylia in the Betelgeuse system have one again refused to travel to New Earth for the three match Zero Gravity Rugby League series, stating corrosion in vital spaceship components caused by solar winds is the reason. The last two once a decade series were cancelled also, apparently for lack of available zero gravity jetpacks, and a mysterious spacetime rip suddenly appearing near New Ozstraylia, though this was never verified. The head of Zero Gravity Rugby League of Ozstraylia, The Vlandysbot said, " we are very sorry Earthlings, we really want to play inferior beings, honestly. "

Players sabotaging Lee Carsley's campaign to be next England manager. If we don't win this group and get back to League A of this comp, then no way should he get job. BTW, this doesn't impact on England seeding for WC qualifying, draw for that campaign I think is December.

I hadn't realised that 100,000 was the target capacity. Is that good for the GF or not? 60,000 in a 75,000 capacity stadium looks good, as I'm sure we'll see this Saturday, but in a 100,000 one I'm not sure, though who knows what attendances will be in 2028.

Let's hope the new Old Trafford design team doesn't overlook Leigh fans needs ,and has enough coach parking spaces, something criminally overlooked at Tottenham, as a particular Leigh fan told us over and over again.

Teammates must be furious with Harry Maguire, they've worked so hard to get Ten Hag the sack, then Harry comes along and saves him, for now.
