    I think Stoke City are getting far too much recognition. I could start a reputation of a cold windy night at St Mary's Southampton**, but nobody would believe me. :)

    **actually, it can get bloody chilly, being right next to the Itchen river. Wind has to be in the right/wrong direction.

    My boys get to a final at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium* for the second season running. Let's hope they win this time!




    * not sure why it's called Sixfields. I remember when Saints went there singing about a bigger shed.

    Yeah. But if you type "bleak post-industrial wasteland" into google images, you get pictures of Stoke.

    N'Golo Kante has won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award for 2016-17.

    Will everyone stop saying Clasie is too short?

    I wouldn't say Messi is the greatest ever.

    Failed at international level where others have exceeded such as Maradona Ronaldo etc.

    He didn't actually win it, he just dispossessed the presenter before he had time to get it away...

    So sad :( I'm not a fan of the Royals but must admit that I did applaud Harry speaking up about mental illness and his struggle after Diana's death. Having someone so high profile talking about it will hopefully make it less of a taboo and will make people who need the help ask for it. If there's any help available, that is...

    Joey Barton - talented footballer, intelligent man, in many ways a good man, just not firing quite right somewhere in his brain. (there have been a few)

    Very forgiving. The man is a bully and a thug.

    He's a flawed individual, struggling with his demons.

    John Lennon was also capable of being a bully and a thug.
