I love Chloe Kelly. She’s perpetually the main character

I'm probably not likely to take many penalties any more, but should I get the opportunity I'm doing that little hop to start my run up. Love it.

I hate it fed up with everyone thinking its so clever just hit the ball in the net not that hard

Oh wow, I didn’t realise you’d taken pressure penalties in front of a global audience before Steve. Would love to hear more.

It was a weird game as Spain should have been out of sight by half time, they just couldn’t take chances a bit like our game at Leicester. 30 or so attempts.
The tall Spanish girl they were raving about tried a stupid little back flick in extra time, then air kicked when three yards out and then blasted her penalty wide.

Could be describing Antonio 😂

alderz.was talking about the players thinking its clever .Paqueta drives me mad with his stupid little dance .Give me Ray Stewart type penalties any day of the week .In fact i have taken a pressure one back when i was 14 at school the keeper went the right way but it just crept in .The 2 or 3 people watching seemed very uninterested

alderz

I think if they score it's all good, personally

It was like a triple or perhaps high jumper starting off. Given it produced a well thumped winner, I'm surprised it doesn't seem to be becoming more iconic.

As Alderz said if they score it's all good. If they don't however you do tend think they over complicated it and that this cost them.

When I coached (just youth level, my sons teams) we used to try and get them to keep it simple. Be certain where you intend put it and don't change your mind, either left or right and low or high. If high ensure you don't over lean back, If you really want to go down the middle then ensure there is power.

I was surprised how many penalties in the women's shoot outs were mid height and not even tucked towards the post or much power. However there is the factor of pressure which can't be over estimated. I'm sure they do better in training.

I see that at least two of today’s press are calling Leah Williamson as England’s greatest ever football captain. One even said better than Moore who only managed to win one trophy.

Based on pure numbers, two is (and as far as I’m aware has always been) bigger than one

World Cup trumps 2 women’s euros to my mind.

Maybe if she'd sneaked out of the team hotel the night before the final for a quick drink...

Alderz, you and your numbers and statistics again.

ASLEFshrugged

Any guesses which customers this is aimed at?

BTW did anyone know that Kevin Nolan is Northampton's manager?

Took over just before Christmas when they were 21st in League One (relegation), finished 19th (not relegation), avoided thed rop by 5 points

Wonder if he still does the chicken dance when they score

alderz

On a similar note, Shelbourne (who signed Sean Moore from us this week) are managed by Joey O'Brien!

Do you think they should just leave that type face in the printing press for the whole season?

buffy.Hi just wondered how you are doing with your diabetes thing .Has the meds kicked in yet .Anyway wanted to let you know that the whole site is pulling for you .At lest i hope they all are

buffybegood

Thanks for asking, I actually saw the GP yesterday and one of the diabetes nurses today, they've been very pro-active since I first saw the GP last Monday (phoned me Tuesday, saw GP again Wednesday, diabetes nurse at a difference practice in the same group phoned immediately, saw me 5 minutes later, gave prescription, took blood, phoned me Saturday with part of my blood results and upped dose on meds, phoned me Tuesday and then as I say, GP yesterday to go over blood results and he also gave me a shot against pneumonia and meningitis, and a different nurse today to do a diabetes check-up).

The meds combined with reducing my carb intake has seen my morning blood glucose start to fall; I have to do a self test with a drop of blood every morning to check it. The main blood test also revealed a slightly high cholesterol level but, as it seems with many things, the diabetes makes this a bigger risk so I'm on statins for that now, and also I am on the verge of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) which I've got to be tested for again in a couple of months (along with check ups on most of these other things). The GP thinks I may well have to start taking tablets for that as well.

On the plus side my blood pressure is normal, my weight is healthy and I could feel it when she pricked my feet lol. I have got a sore arm from the injection yesterday though lol.

steve

Wow lots going on .good luck mate

Cheers 👍.
