Couldn’t think…. The next part

Gave the grass it’s first trim, sorted out my pond and other outside stuff.
“ Let’s have drink in the garden”
says my lovely wife “ it’s quite warm today”

Back indoors with the heating on.

Spring innit.

Amazing that he did all that with one leg.

Ben Johnson has received his first England U21 call up.

Well deserved.

Absolutely deserved, but also it’s funny to me because he’s 22

Lanzini’s in the Argentina squad too

Excellent sportsmanship from Wales Wing Josh Adams who was given man of the match against Italy with 5 mins to go. The Italian full back, who’d had a good game, with last move of the match created a sensational try to win the match for Italy. Josh Adams sought out Capuozzo, after he had received the medal and presented it to the Italian.

That’s what sport is about to me.

A football spoof site posted that Everton have had more players in court since September than wins

Some noise on Twitter that Bowen has broken a bone in his foot. One of the more reliable ITKs has said he's back running (whether this is in potato fields is yet to be confirmed) which somewhat contradicts the other rumour, but Moyes was a bit sketchy when he was talking about Bowen's return date.

How on earth did they manage to play football on a pitch like that.

That’s what pitches were like from about December onwards until about April when they started to dry out.

He's got a season-defining performance in him yet. With Liverpool running City so close, it wouldn't surprise me if he found a way to influence that outcome with a final 'look at me' display.

OCS, He is a Tranmere Rovers fan he couldn't be seen to favour Liverpool could he?

C&H report that Oggy could be back for the last two games of the season

Last two games .So that would include the Europe final .Thats great news

Suggestions that 5 substitutes are going to be allowed from next season. Pandering to the bigger clubs imo, will be of no help at all to us.

buffy, I agree if it was for this season but in future ones we will have had a mass influx of new players so our bench will be a lot stronger than it is at the moment. Posted this today in case people think it's an April Fools joke tomorrow.

Anyone heard anything about our pre-season plans for next season, we travelling or UK based?
