Not sure, but solve our goal scoring problem we could register the U21’s coach, Paul Tait and play him up front. He got nearly 150 goals for Northwich Victoria, Crewe, Rochdale and Bristol Rovers a few years ago 😂

Crazy thing was that it had been an excellent performance for most of the match but then ….. we then repeated the act against Bournemouth under Dyche.

A few years back my mother-in-law was ill in hospital. Whilst visiting here I noticed these flags pinned to the wall and wondered why they were there.

Of course they're the flags of the nationalities of the NHS staff that looked after my mother-in-law's ward, without whom we'd not have an NHS.

It was absolutely spellbinding mate. View was beautiful, noise LOUD, football very good, and a totally emotional experience. Negatives? Not enough gents toilets, so long queues, food expensive (but decent)…all brilliant otherwise.

Have you seen the donkeys in pyjamas? Fabulous. Camped in Il de Re in 2013, keep meaning to visit again.

La Sablés is our ‘local’ beach, as well as Bertignolles, both beautiful. Love Isle de Re as well.

We have a static caravan on a site in the Vendée region.

Love the lakes so enjoy yourselves. We plan to buy a camper van at some stage and use our place in France as a base for touring Europe. That’s my retirement plan! Hope the kitchen turns out like you want it.

Hi Tez. Yeah not bad mate. Exhausted after long journey back yesterday, took about 13 hours due to long wait at border control at le shuttle, then the dreaded M25.

Plenty of dig ops though

Sorry, not a Palace fan, but that’s disgusting.

How did you manage that?

You’ve spelt ‘feck’ wrong for Ireland 🤣

All about opinions mate, and I respect yours. Neil is simply magnificent but one man’s meat etc.

Great work this season by you and all the other Toffee journalists, Paddy. Thank you all so much.

The club should’ve got you to interview all the old players, especially those from the 60’s and 70’s, Ronny. I just hope they’ve done something like that for posterity.

And to think the band, and certainly Lee Mavers, didn’t like the album.
