Ming the Merciless, Planet Mongo, etc

Big fan of everyone knocking lumps out of Gordon.

Just going to put it out there, 40m is a small price to pay for the PL ignoring City’s 115 charges and allowing them to beat Liverpool to at least two league titles.

Expecting there to be some lads from the ‘old days’ in Belfast tonight recreating the phenomenon of retired old boys sitting around construction sites all day in Mediterranean countries offering advice to the workers.

Has nobody in the UK government heard of VPNs? Good luck with the social media ban, lads. I’m off to invest in Nord and SurfShark.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... Would explain Liverpool’s popularity in Mexico. #bantz

I see time has finally caught up with Sullivan.

Spain should be four up here. Cue another textbook Lionesses shit fest and somehow avoiding defeat.

I see that Graham one was the only one not to get off the bench for Northern Ireland against ‘Guinea’(?). Shite. #EvertonDaShouts

Ceferin really nailed the medal passing technique. First class.

Fair play to them if they win it, but I’m not having Arsenal are any good.

Who’s going to be the baldest man in football now?!

Sun’s out again.

I regularly played football in Barcelona for a few years in my twenties, and while I’m a fundamentally unhealthy person with a list of bad habits the length of a pitch, I can only counsel Gordon to try and think of other gingers who have prospered in the Mediterranean, and why that might be.

Netflix following up the little known story of some team called ‘Liverpool’ overcoming the odds to win the 2005 Champions League with the ‘untold story’ of someone called Vinnie Jones. Groundbreaking storytelling.

People flocking from miles around to catch a glimpse of Dwight McNeill wearing a baseball shirt with an Everton badge on it, for reasons that were never really convincingly explained.

Oof, hadn’t realised Sunderland finished so high. Some effort from Reggie. Doesn’t do much for the ‘it’s at least a two summer windows’ argument.

Harrison, Alcaraz looked alright, bit of aggro, rest of them, not so much.

Absolute textbook rendition of ‘away at a big six club’ from the lads here.

Corner after 20 seconds against a side who cannot afford to lose, and it ends up with Pickford within 10 seconds… magic.

Scenes in SWPL as Rangers just needing a win to win the league, against Glasgow City who have collapsed since their star striker did her ACL, are 6-0 down. The banter years has a new chapter.

Good result for the Moyes-outers. Bottom three next season pretty much confirmed already.

Hull playing as if they’ve already paid their legal fees for the appeal.

I know we’ve only got so much time on our hands, but when did Dan Burn become an unquestioned inclusion in international football?

It’s 10am, three weeks before the World Cup even kicks off, and I think we’ve hit saturation point already.

Big day for this lad

Just hope that massive, bald gyrating Southampton fan who wears 69 on his shirt is absolutely gutted.

Glasgow, man *sigh* Turning The Arches into a bowling alley is right up there in the low stakes signs of the end of days. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2611671...

New excuse to delay improving the Liverpool-Leeds rail link just dropped www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

‘Jules’ Laurens part of the BBC World Cup team? Well done everyone, you given them exactly what they wanted.

Everybody calm down a bit. After the World Cup, Scotland will be looking for a new manager, a quick call from Ferguson on behalf of the SFA to Moyes and problem solved. Conveniently, Portugal will also be looking for a new manager, and Roberto will be back on the market for a club job.

Have they all been on the ale?

Garner’s bald denial fringe really speaks volumes of the lack of leadership at the club.

You might have stumbled into a TAW production meeting, any sign of Knox Harrington, possibly wearing a cravat and carrying a Camus or Proust Penguin paperback?

Absolute scenes in this cafe in Altrincham as a group of #grownmen in deep and earnest discussions on the state of Der Scarlet Might. Alonso going to Chelsea doing nothing for the Men’s Mental Health.

SHOW US KRIS BOYD!

Big AntanDec-Heid to get an equaliser here

VAR, man.

Hadn’t paid enough attention this season to see just how bad Sellik actually are. Good grief.

Perhaps Everton can have a full back who can STOP A CROSS! now. Ahem, beg your pardon sorry, don’t know where that came from.

On the one hand, AI is indefensible slop that cheapens creativity beyond reason. But on the other…

I just don’t think it’s wise to trust with big decisions any adult who makes being an Evertonian part of their identity.

Even for #thefitba that’s some going

More tremendous scenes in the Scottish League One playoffs as Clyde host Accies in Hamilton, before the return leg next week at Broadwood, where Clyde played for many years, but Accies are playing home matches this season. Absolute peak ‘the fitba’.

Quick reminder that one of the purposes of VAR, for an entertainment business, is to create conversation and interaction on social and broadcast media in ‘the attention economy’ outside of matches.

Right Everton, snot these. Or get snotted. No middle ground, so we can all get away early.

Best league in the world.

In Clapton if anyone wants their powdered goji berries splattered all over their iced latte.

Checking the whoops aisle in Tesco, loads of food in the bay, but even prices on reduced items seem really high. Surely there comes a point when elasticity just snaps.
