This is essentially one big Gallic shrug from France, n'est-ce pas? Bof!

Anyone else been watching Ken Burns' latest documentary series on BBC4? 1776 and all that! It's another one of his many masterpieces...

Fofana should keep walking down the tunnel, out of the exit and not stop until he gets to France. Never want to see him in a blue shirt ever again.

Greetings from a replacement bus service in Sicily. Just a mere five hours to go😳

Accordion player on the Circumvesuviana at 0800 anyone? Imagine that on the Waterloo & City...

Capri

Not too shabby a view for tonight's aperitivo. Salute!

@kenbarkway.bsky.social @heavenlyblue007.bsky.social Not sure if you knew this was up and running yet. Well worth a listen.

The French TV coverage of Premier League football is genuinely called "Match Of ze Day". I kid you not.

Arrived at hotel in Lyon. The game is on French TV. Deep joy!🙄

I'm hurtling through the French countryside on a southbound TGV. Hope you're having fun at The Bridge😳 Spoiler: Goal alerts work on French trains😬

Relatively easy in the end. I thought Leeds were a bit overawed by the occasion to be honest. We played some good stuff and kept them mostly at bay.

Great run off the centre half by Enzo to find the space to bury that header.

Sky fading down the crowd volume for the Ehgbali chant every time...

Back four then....

And there we go....🙄

Wish I could work up some enthusiasm for this...

Customized football boots? The game's gone.

Hearing Hoddle on commentary reminds me of the first Cup quarter final I saw live - in 1982. Micky Fillery gave us a HT with a super free kick, then Hoddle bossed the second half and scored a fabulous 25 yarder as we lost 3-2. I was on crutches as I'd broken my foot playing 5-a-side.

Gonna be a long afternoon for Port Vale now...

Bad to worse🙄

Oh...

A shocking first 15 minutes😳

That's ridiculous. The keeper's mistake completely changed the balance of the game. But we lost our heads in the last 10 minutes.

Really disappointing. PSG were getting frustrated, fans had gone quiet. Needlessly let them back in it😒

Bonsoir à tous. Bit unlucky to go in behind really. But you have to take your chances, and PSG did.

I've seen some bizarre shit in my time, but Curtis Mayfield in a tux miming to Move On Up with a troupe of dancing girls and no band takes the fecking biscuit. One Hit Wonders on BBC4😳

How did that take so long? I could see it from here...

That's a red for me.

Well, at least that's shut Shearer up for a bit!☺️

We may need a second...

@osgood9.bsky.social We need a third I think😉

Genuinely sad to hear of the passing of Jesse Jackson. He was with MLK when he was shot and I remember his tears the night Obama was elected. A giant in this age of pygmies.

@kenbarkway.bsky.social @heavenlyblue007.bsky.social @paulcrowder.bsky.social Just finished Ian Leslie's "John and Paul: A Love Story in Songs". I loved it and found it really moving. The story of the love between two best friends told in their songs, ending on Here Today. Some great new insights.

Job done. Excellent in the second half.

Wonderful strike. That's shut Shearer up!

Laurel and Hardy on commentary tonight?🙄

Can we handle a snowy Friday night in Hull?😬

So we wear our home kit against Hull City, who play in amber and black, but not against Wolves, who play in the same colours?🤷‍♂️

Oh for fuck's sake....

My word! A first half hat trick for Palmer💙 Wolves look completely shattered.

I'm not going to moan about that. Stayed in the tie until the final minute. Gave a late goal away when we we throwing it all at the other end. Onwards and upwards.

On the platform at Fulham Broadway and a mahoosive cheer goes up. 💙

What do we need?☺️

Will this fecking commentator stop giving us minute by minute updates on our position in the "table"? None of it matters until the games are over🙄

We certainly need a second now😬 Awful time to go behind🙄

Good Lord. Whiteout in Denver. NFL in a blizzard.
