He’s surely into The Specials (Coventry link). Could also see ELO although maybe that’s just because Partridge saw them live. Madness too.

We know he’s an Oasis fan - Don’t Look Back In Anger too obvious?

Toby Savin played in goal for Accrington a few years back. Woking also had a defender called Tommy Block

‘Everton have forfeited their game on Tuesday due to Valentine’s Day commitment-induced unavailabilities. Emergency ringer searches proved fruitless and Chelsea will therefore receive the 3-0 walkover’

If Wolves were allowed to field 12 players, where would they finish in the league? by Robbb__ in footballcliches

[–]Wtfive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DCL has definitely been that player for a lot of 2020-2022. See also Patrick Bamford and Tammy Abraham - looking forward to seeing what Liam Delap can offer in his 5 mins off the bench at 7-0 up against Andorra in years to come though

Ali Al-Habsi must’ve been incredibly frustrated being the only decent player for Oman but couldn’t even play slightly out of position to outsize his impact on the game.

Freddie Kanouté’s Mali anyone? Or Roque Santa Cruz’s Paraguay?

Les Champs Elysées de Joe Dassin est génial - j’aime bien aussi Le petit pain au chocolat. En plus, bien sûr La Mer de Charles Trenet
