    My second 15 minutes of fame is being on Google Earth for the second time in Spain. This time at the La Zenia/N332 roundabout, in my old silver Citroen Picasso Xsara trying to get out of the side road.

    Tall Paul proving, like Crouchy, that he is pretty decent with his feet, 3 goals and an assist and some very nice hold up play...

    Understandably the focus has been on Kane v Bellingham this week..... but quietly Sancho is having one hell of a game against PSG.

    Looks like he has recovered form, another example of Man Utd actively making players worse.

    The much heralded Will Still has left Reims. I wonder where he’s off to. Would have loved to have taken a punt on him here, but I suspect he’s destined for greater things.

    Has he got his badges yet?

    Google seems to think he’s off to Sunderland

    Sometimes, at those roundabouts, you just have to shut your eyes and go for it.
    If only someone would invent something to indicate what direction you intend to go to make driving easier.

    I think they are called hand signals. The clue is in the name.

    One off them is right, another left, also one that needs a tissue and another that involves sex and travel, not all are in the highway code.

    FM 2025?
    "During his tenure, Reims, where he had also been an assistant manager, had to pay £22,000 every time he took charge of a game because he did not hold a Uefa Pro Licence.
    Still has previously spoken about how video game Football Manager played a part in him becoming a professional manager."

    They’re too busy talking on their phones to give hand signals.

    I have my issues with VAR but that is just a straight up moron of a ref, VAR suggested he overturn his completely **** on field decision and he has ignored it.

    What I would do is take the power out of the refs hands and let VAR just overturn, it is manned by officials after all and it would speed things up considerably, especially in this instance where the VAR official is 100% right and the ref on the pitch has lost the plot.

    They’re afraid of reducing further the “integrity” of the on field official. As if, allowing the ref to review gives him any additional authority ….. maybe that’s what this ref was doing. Saying **** you, I’m boss, so piss off <laugh>

    Commiserations to any Tottonians as AFC Totton suffered the heartbreak of a penalty shootout loss in the play-off final to reach the Conference for the first time in their history yesterday.
