Neither game was thrilling but at least we aren’t Scotland…. What we have seen is that we do have a big pool of young players to draw upon: Lewis- Skelly and Morgan Rogers have shone in these games You do wonder where we’d be without Kane though. I share your reservations about Jude Bellingham. He’s obviously an extremely good player but he’s got an unpleasant arrogance about him. I do wonder what he’s like in the dressing room and on the training pitch…. He doesn’t strike me as being a team player.
Yep he worries me. There is nothing wrong with having belief in yourself and infact I'd say it's pretty much essential in sporty types. But, there is belief and then there is the arrogant side. He sort of loses it and almost invites a card. He then gets petulant and seems to seek out a second one in the belief he is too good to be boojked again. He was trying hard to talk himself into the dressing room tonight. If it was a one off effort I could forgive that but he does it over and over. Not one I'd like in my dressing room (apart from the potential transfer fee when I got shot).
New technology problem. Beginning of March ....BT sent me a new hub (didn't ask for it).....which meant I had to set it up etc.....which eventually I did.....rather chuffed with myself. Two days ago my mobile ran out of data....with over a week to go before being renewed.....rather strange...never happened before. My daughter popped in this morning and I mentioned what had happened....she looked at my phone and it was saying that it was using 4G....which meant it had not linked up with the indoor BT system.....I mentioned that BT had sent me a new hub....and although she admits not being that hot on technology she could see that it was not linking up indoors with my BT system....because my phone wasn't recognizing the new Hub password........it needed the phone to link up with the new Hub password....the moment we did that it immediately swapped over to the indoor system....obvious now but I would never have realized that was needed.......just another thing to stress me out which I didn't need.
Wifi is built to stress people out. If we ever move house again, I'm not getting one without ethernet cabling. I should think about 50% of the times I try to get onto Netflix or Amazon or similar, the TV box pretends the Wifi isn't working, which in fact it is. That's one of its helpful hints: try connecting via an ethernet connection. Very helpful: I'll just pop out a minute and find to find a builder who can chase out our solid, non-cavity walls for ethernet cabling this evening. Shouldn't take long..... Or make much mess......
I see that Blatter and Platini have been cleared of corruption charges. Wonders and miracles never cease.
Yes i saw that....how did they manage those brown envelopes....that must of been expensive (for someone).
Joey Barton only gets a 12 week suspended sentence for pushing his wife to the floor and kicking her in the head....during a drunken evening with friends.
I’m following the mini-drama of Signal Gate. Apparently, the US Security Adviser, the Secretary of State for Defence, the head of the CIA, the Secretary of State, the Vice President (standing in for the President who was on the sun bed) and the White House Chief of Staff got together to discuss air strikes against Houthi terrorists in Yemen. These discussions included targets, weapons, the units involved and the timings of the strikes. Presumably, intelligence from multiple sources would have been involved, including perhaps that gathered by foreign allies and “assets” in the ground, who’d have been at extreme risk if terror groups had guessed where the information had come from. Surprisingly, none of this information was classified. Security ain’t what it used to be The group decided to use a secure but unauthorised commercial messaging app to discuss this “unclassified” information rather than military grade channels. They also managed to accidentally invite a journalist to the group, who while critical of the Trump administration, is an American patriot on the other side of the political fence. Thank goodness they didn’t select some actual terrorists from their contacts list. The US Chief Security Adviser has admitted personal responsibility for adding the journalist to the group. A search is on to find a junior member of staff who can be blamed iss was underway though. I mean “who may have been involved” or even “in the same building at the time” of course, sorry about that. A multi-billionaire prone to wandering about with a chain saw has been drafted in to investigate the matter and presumably to come up with a workable excuse and someone else to blame. Thank goodness we can rely on our American allies. We can learn a lot from them such as “how not to organise a piss-up in a brewery”.
And now, given the Trump administration has insisted the information wasn't classified, the Atlantic magazine has published the transcript.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz9e875gd11t
If it wasn't so tragic you would have to laugh though. Imagine the scenario. "Hello, is that the Germans? Thought you might like to know that we are invading Normandy next week on the 6th. Should start about 6am(ish). There will be 6 beach heads landing and a couple of thousand ships gathered together in a small sea area just off the Coast." Nothing classified there. Lets be honest it's just plain bollox isn't it. The worst part is the extent they will go to just to deny what is blatantly obvious to the rest of the World. They fecked up good and proper. I listened to one of them who sounded like an over excited schoolboy caught with his hand in the cookie jar but denying he was ever in the City the crime took place. If that is an example of the people running what is the most powerful Country on the Planet then we are done for. I handled a shed load of classified stuff when I was in the mob and if I had lost so much as a paper clip from the bundle I would have been hung from the yardarm at dawn.
Jair Bolsonaro, who was the far-right Trumpist president of Brazil from 2019 to 2023, is to go on trial for attempting to stage a coup when he lost an election. Bolsonaro has made unsubstantiated claims that the election system was rigged. Thousands of his supporters stormed government buildings and there are allegations of death plots against the new president and a judge who ruled against him. . Isn’t it good to see the rule of law being applied against powerful and greedy men who attempt to subvert democratic systems of government that decide against them? It’s a shame not all countries are like it.
Doesn't that sound familiar....losing an election and trying to prove that you had won....I just can't put my finger on it....it'll come to me soon.

Good to see all those floating voters oop-north are getting their railways updated. When are ours going to be done then? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0jgjgvzl13o
