I wonder if they watched the Italia 90 documentary on Channel 4 and thought 'nah, fuck that'

Ah, yes. I used to treat this like a sport. If it was an experienced checkout staff (an old girl that has been working the tills for years), I would almost certainly lose. But if it was somebody younger, lacking experience, I knew I'd stand a chance to pack everything on time. 

If you exit a shop, or escalators, you must vacate the exit area immediately and not suddenly stand there and begin faffing about, thus blocking the very exit you've just used. 

Punishment for doing this is to read that post above by Vamp.

Haven't heard of Jordan Peterson. Had a look at his Wiki page.

Well colour me surprised that Ronaldo finds him inspiring. You just know Ronaldo's views and opinions on most things in life will be fucking horrible, it's so noticeable in his personality. 

His eyes were open to sponsorship money and all that shite long before 94, his predecessor was the architect of that and Blatter picked up that ball and ran with it when he became general secretary of FIFA. The new document on Netflix is well worth a watch for this topic.

Assume this has Glendenning involved? If so, fuck that. 

He wasn't on the only episode they've had so far

That's what some of the berks on Twitter are replying with!

Don't worry folks, Gianni Infantino has asked Russia and Ukraine for a temporary ceasefire for the World Cup, so things should calm down for a bit.

I know some don't like Tim Vickery

Why don't some people like him? I really enjoy listening to/watching him. Wealth of knowledge when it comes to South American football and doesn't come across as pompous like some do.

The Guardian football podcast have started to review the WC teams by group as of yesterday, so I'll be listening to that too.

I was bored the other night and did a very brief preview of the key players for the big teams. Might post it on here in a bit. 

Poland right now when it comes to tbe start of World Wars

Reason #2,388

A Geoff fucking Shreevs autobiography? And look at the glow-up he's had for the front cover.

Jordan Lukaku has been waiting for ages in that case.

Reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo is a cunt #2,387:

I'd never heard of him until today, where his name was all over Twitter as I tried to find out why Ronaldo wasn't in the squad. All that came up was videos about this guy crying because Ronaldo wasn't playing. Right-o.

Garnacho saved United's skin there. Fulham massively unlucky to come away from that game without anything. 

Or we could not discuss that cunty YouTube channel and give it the recognition it deserves i.e. fuck all.

Another thing with White is his brilliant overlapping with Saka on the right flank. More often than not it's a decoy run, taking a defender with him which gives Saka and Odegaard space. But when he does have the ball near the byline, he's also good. He will be well suited to a back three, which is where he played at Brighton (and was one of the main reservations Arsenal fans had when we signed him).

I don't think he'll play at all, barring an injury crisis. Unless of course England have already topped the group after two games (which I doubt), then he'll have a run-out in the final group stage game probably.

Kalvin Phillips going is the biggest surprise for me given he’s only played 54 minutes all season for City because of injury

That'll be because there are no other decent defensive midfield options as backup for Rice.

Clearly Wales have a squad depth thinner than my hairline, but can’t say I’m shitting myself at the thought of facing that.

You won't face that, you'll be facing one of Europe's in-form midfielders in Jude Bellingham instead. 

Lidl have their Christmas food range in, which is always better than any supermarket range this time of year. Scallops, smoked salmon with various flavours, nut roasts...it's the best. 

All that matters is Benjamin White, the best footballer in the Premier League so far this season that isn't called Granit, has made the squad. As he should do. 

In other squad news, apparently Mario Gotze still plays football and he's somehow made the Germany squad! They have also picked the two young Dortmund forwards, Adeyemi and Moukoko. Really hope they get some minutes. 

Belgium's squad seems like it hasn't changed for 20 years.

Energy companies are cunts (like Tories) when it comes to direct debits. They forecast mine incorrectly EVERY YEAR and raise my DD too much, so I always have to reduce it. Now they've removed the option to reduce the DD yourself (Eon), so I've emailed them to reduce it. 

I'm £580 in credit on mine, although I'm mindful that it will soon be diminish as we approach colder months with the new tariff. That said, I spent ages reconciling and calculating it and reached the conclusion that even noting this they are taking £50 too much per month, so they better reduce it. 

You can ask for a refund of the credit balance, but just beware that your bills might shoot up over the coming months. 

What a fucking great episode, Andy Serkis stole it. 

Not wanting to infringe Keith's gimmick, but this is a fantastic slice of pop
