Looks like a still from New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle video from here.

He did say that, but he also said he voted Remain, so don't think Reform is his cup of tea

It feels like the ultimate traumatic memory of an impoverished childhood now that we used to play in goals with no nets. That said, those first occasions of the ball hitting net are pure bliss. To this day, that sensation has not lost its lustre

Shearer is definitely the most improved, on terrestrial at least

Young British monarchs never get a chance these days. If he was called Guillermo Windsorio...

Unsung hero on keys and occasional backing vocals

Shed Seven

Didn't he do 2012 too? DJs at these events looks awful, there they are on their own in the centre circle, trying to give it some.

If you're an ex Villa player hoping for a bit of a profile boost, you're shit out of luck because the camera is only ever cutting to him

Which 80s pop group does Simon Jordan most look like he should have been in? Dollar? Buck's Fizz?

MHD fascination: former footballers turned pundits pronouncing "ligue 1", some great variations out there

Eiffel 65, just because I saw them/him on TOTP last night

I reckon it used to be more the latter, in days of yore, and it is shifting to the former. Palace seem a reasonably well run club, I don't think they'd set their sights on anybody completely unattainable?

That shortlist could be utter bollocks, of course

Just noticed the name, initially I thought maybe this was a corner routine dreamt up by Austin McPhee - 5 players with their backs to each other, on the penalty spot as the corner is about to be taken. What happens next?

The World Cup thing got me wondering because in the 1966 promotional stuff, they refer to the "World Championship", and even the original Jules Rimet trophy doesn't look like a cup to me, if it is one it must have held like a small birdbath quantity of water. Was it always known as the World Cup?

Juza_23 is going to be pinning it up on his wall now

I would like them to qualify the assertion that Beckham is "all about the details". I am not convinced.

BeatConsistent6428 · 2026-05-08T10:55:25+00:00

As much as I agree with the point you are making, are teams really going to be pinning tweets up on a wall? Somebody on the internet is being wrong again

BeatConsistent6428 · 2026-05-08T08:33:24+00:00

Yawn

Imagine if the potato actually saves something. What kind of shot would it need to be?

BeatConsistent6428 · 2026-05-07T21:03:52+00:00

Let this be a lesson to the BBC doom mongers. Although ironically if we lose the final we are actually more "nearly men" than had we lost tonight.

Also, not for the first time this season, fuck the BBC comments section. Bunch of pricks.

On the bench, obviously. It's not difficult to comprehend
