To add one more positive. There has been a lot of criticism of the back room staff recently particularly Prince of Fitness Methodology Ben Williams DSO MBE BMX but there hasn’t been one, not one, cycling injury this season. It’s something to build on.
Enough of the waffle. I’m setting up a crowd-funding page to buy a Raleigh Chopper which I will ride naked across the pitch during the next home game in a ‘SAVE OUR HAMSTRINGS - BMX BEN OUT !’ protest
Churchill was into Eugenics (selective breeding not the dodgy 80s electro band) and had more in common with Adolph than is commonly supposed. Also most of his famous speeches weren’t even him but a voice impersonator. In a nutshell he was a cnt. As is the one today and the other one across the pond. I’d take a draw.
All Mimmsy were the Borogroves. Bobby Mimmsy of course used to play in goal for Spurs so that’s in our favour. The Rs to bandersnatch it 2-1 with a winner from Kwame Jabberpoku
A (potential) happy story of football social mobility. In the 2021/22 season Leicester were in the Premier League and playing in Europe competing against the likes of Napoli, Roma, and PSV Eindhoven. In the same season Bromley were in the National League battling with Maidenhead, Kings Lynn Town, and Altrincham. On the way to winning the FA Trophy they had to overcome Tonbridge Angels.
Five seasons later Leicester and Bromley could find themselves in the same league.
If they keep expanding the play-offs by two teams a season we’re in with a shout early 2030s. By then the officiating will be administered by taser-equipped artificially-intelligent robo-refs in which each half will mainly consist of 3 corner-kicks each taking approximately 15 minutes to execute and conclude. Any goals scored in open play will be decided by VAR dna lab sample analysis checking for epidermal-layer offsides which can take up to two weeks to determine. Results being announced at half time during the next fixture.
Yes he decided to move occasionally, challenge defenders, and also started to put the ball in the back of the net. That’s fking Gerd Muller-levels of competence compared to some of the dreck I’ve seen (see) playing up front for the Rs.
Don’t wanna bang on though - Kone & Burrell (please be fit soon🙏🏼) the best combo I’ve seen up front in W12 for years.

Do we really need any more football matches?
4 page debate about this a couple of weeks ago. The “creates loads more fixtures” argument is a red-herring. It will add one or two more fixtures for a couple of teams in a season or perhaps no extra fixtures will happen if they make the semi-finals one-leg.
I’m going to watch a Serie C game in Italy next week. The play-offs from the three regional-leagues of Serie C to the one league of Serie B - now that’s something else. The Open University does modules on it.
I’ll put my hand up and say I thought he was going to come good. There is a player there and he was just hitting some form before he got the injury. The reports from Germany are pretty crap but I can’t retrospectively change the opinion I had at the time. I thought a Madsen-style resurrection was possible.
