My Mum borrowed this from Streatham Library In the mid-60s and it never got returned (I shudder to think what the fine would be now, even in old money). I must have first tried reading this when I was 6 or 7; This book taught me to love reading...

Agree 💯. All the kids put a shift in, no wonder 3 of them had cramp. Was impressed with Benamar too, some excellent crosses in the first half and some real pace.

Yep 💯. Also you can pet your Dog in Civ VII, but unlike Civ VI there's no option to have cats instead of Dogs. Travesty!

Can you tell the difference between the two? Both mine make different vomit noises when they throw up, which helps me locate where the pile may be

I see this as an opportunity to go and actually enjoy a Wembley day out without any stress and anxiety, unlike all the other times we've been there! I'm also trying to ignore the Europe situation until it's resolved; again, too much stress worrying about something I can't control

If not, he should have, together with a stretch target of some more crazy tortie videos (though as the slave of 2 black cats I love seeing pics of Napoleon)

Perhaps people had pre-booked their flights months in advance and decided that the risk wasn't serious enough, or the economic impact too high, to cancel?

Agree with your second point, but having seen the 'foul' for the second yellow it does make me wonder why VAR is not allowed in such circumstances. If we are to have it imposed on us, please let it fix all, rather than just some, egregious errors 🙏

Isn't the Bacon-to-Sausage ratio a bit unbalanced? Definitely needs another sausage to restore parity.

Yeah, Chieck needed that hour or so and you could see the rust slowly coming off him. Lerma and Muñoz particularly good today, especially in the 2nd half. JP deserved his goal for all the hard work he put in leading the line.

I'm not complaining; I admire your productivity, and love your books. Here's to a fantastic 2025 for you!

Yep, completely agree. He was mobile, played some nice simple passes to keep us flowing (something Ebs is currently struggling with) and in particular one excellent through ball. He's clearly getting up to speed with the PL.
