Goikoetxia I think. Can't pronounce it.

Goy Ka Ch ay er

I think. I had a conversation with a Basque editor and they said he was maligned and not that awful.

I wasn't so sure.

No ice cream and jelly tonight

The boots in the glass case suggests you might be onto something

it really is that simple. and Klopp was bleating again after the match at the weekend. Tv companies buy rights to televise games and give players and managers unbelievable wealth. What Klopp could have detailed was how much of his wages he was willing to give back in order to get better treatment.
I quite like the fact that BT have stitched him up with an early Saturday kick off after a Wednesday CL game.

Perfect. Fuck Colin.

if any one in londons see that Deigo L'quipe can you by it as i would love to get a copy and frame it up. Will reimburs obvs.

I don't want to bang on but this:

The Maradona of 1986 wasn’t an accident or a product of
anthropological forces. In Italy Maradona had worked relentlessly at
finding the right tempo to play, the best way to weaponise his skills
in a brutal defensive game. Italy taught him to play in high-speed
bursts, to spot the moment of weakness, to ration out his strength and
his capacity to take the blows. Mexico 86 was the reward.

Is good and essentially summarises the Diego doc where he goes off and trains with his own coach to do this.

Why do Tranmere come out to the theme from - The Rockford Files ... ?
Strange ....

I know this! (One benefit of living on the Wirral and occasionally going to see Tranmere play at Prenton Park).

They traditionally play on a Friday night to attract Liverpool and Everton fans to their games. This used to clash with the Rockford Files in the late 70s and the chairman at the time made some comment about the people of the Wirral preferring to stay at home and watch it rather than coming to support their local team. The PA announcer played it at the next home game and it stuck.

That's excellent trivia. #rep

Brilliant ... !

to deflect away from todays performance

Just heard that Papa Bouba Diop has died, only 42. Sad news, RIP.

fuck that is dark. Very sad. RIP

Damn fine player and a horribly young age to die. RIP Papa

Sad news about Papa Bouba Diop.
42 is no age to die, ALS is a bastard of a disease to put up with.

cavani uses the word that got suarez banned for 8 games
those naughty uruguayans

I doubt that the entire Man Utd team will warm up in Cavani tees next weekend.

Looking forward to to tonight’s game WHUFC vs AVFC.

Good test for both teams, both drastically improved on last season and both playing good football.
Be very happy with 3 pts for WHU and up to the heady heights of 5th
