I read a quote from Stephen Gerrard about Bukayo Saka that just made me sad for him 'I love him, but he can't complain about the physical side. I'm sitting here now with screws in my hops,. I've had about 16 operations...and that's all off the back of earning a living in English football's.
Seems a bit of a pathetic thing to say but it's does show the drive players have and how difficult it must be to call time on a career despite injuries screaming at you to do so. For me Dunk has made the right decision to stop now and use his experience and education to help professionals rather than become a bitter toxic ex-pro like Gerrard.

"I'm sitting here now with screws in my hops," Does that make his beer taste funny?

Betty and Euell are 46 and 47 fwiw.
Liked that little video. I'd probably be listening to podcasts and trying to tune out Brophy chatting sh*t, not that you asked.

I've been struggling for a while to pin down who Barton reminds me of but it's just come to me – both a bit in looks and the way he plays, he's got a bit of the Anthony Gordons about him

A very poor man's version but there's a similarity in build and style.

Sky seem to have their systems sorted for that one...

Stoke have sacked Schumacher.
Two wins and three defeats in the opening five games may not be the start of potential title winners, but it also doesn't scream "crisis". He also has the highest win % of any Stoke manager in the top two tiers in almost 30 years.
But then again, in the last 6 or 7 years they do seem to have become a bit of a basketcase club.

Sounds as though talks to buy Reading have broken down. Not sure what happens now because my understanding was that loans from the potential buyer is what kept them going over the summer.

Old news to most maybe but I’ve just found out that BBC has the highlights for the new Champions League that starts tonight.
I’ve seen Liverpool Milan is available on Amazon to watch tonight but will record the Beeb show out of curiosity to see what their line up is.
