I'm going back straight after the final, well Monday morning, for the first time since the 90's, certainly not going back near the lasva valley region of Bosnia, but will tour around a bit. Beautiful areas all around like you say. Would like to visit Montenegro when we go back. A bit quieter and le...

That's why they invented skips.

Firpo against Adam Armstrong worries me aswell. Firpo is capable of losing us the game on his own. Sounds harsh i know but its stuck in my head. We defo don't want pens. I am going for third time lucky for the team who has been doubled in the regular season winning the final. A great send off for Co...

Total agreement with you here Andrew, my instant thought was Scum have tempted him with a huge offer, but if he has been pushed this is another case of the owner is nuts (i hope this is the case) and another example of 'they haven't a feckin clue' Yes it took him a while, but he was nearly there at...

About 15mins North West up the coast from Dubrovnik Old Town Mental. Taken from our Hotel balcony. Cracking place.

That's a tough call--I can see where you're coming from, Leeds1000. TBF the young guns have been much, much better this season at tracking back and in a lot of cases bossing their defensive duties. But under the proverbial bright lights of Wembley can they maintain the discipline? They have massive...

Dusk in Croatia.

To be or not to be.... That was the question.

That was 7.45pm Looked like either a female or maybe a youngster. Absolutely scoffed those nuts so must’ve been hungry. There’s also been a massive male in the garden so there’ll probably be hoglets at some stage. I think their numbers have really dwindled in recent years. A lot of habitat has been...

I'd have Pascal and Ampadu ahead of Wober in a pecking order. I think Wober looked better than he was because he came into a shambolic defence, and tactical set-up, whereby anyone able to win a few headers, make a few blocks etc looked better than what had gone before. His passing was woeful which ...

The best chance and time to do that, is when Firpo and Gray push on to support, and it's planned with Gruev to be aware of this and be ready to slip into a 3 with - Rodon Gruev Ampadu, and that they spread out to cover the normal back 4 line, for if possession is lost This is also when a speedy pla...

No Piroe No Party..... Yeah Bamford will be nowhere near the starting line up due to fitness. A confident Piroe is a handy Piroe. Martin knows all about what he is capable of so he will probably give him special treatment. I was surprised by the Southampton fans response. I can only think with them ...

Said it a while back in terms of style i have him and Wenger at the top personally. Over aggressive styles i would have Fergie & Moaninho. Even i could win the league with all the money Pep as had at his disposal. Will see what if there is a dramatic drop off at Liverpool? I think he has had Liv...

See if we can do a swap with Norwich for Sargent...... Wilkos Barmy Army. I want us to go up just so it throws a spanner in the works of all the wantaways. It changes the price and the dynamics for people like Harrison, Roca & Wober. The latter one i would hold my nose and have back. I think he ...

Hungry hog

I think i have seen one since i have been over here on the Lancashire coast. Used to see a few in our garden when i lived in back in Yorkshire. Must be late evening that Jay.

It certainly is. When we play 4-2-3-1 and it basically looks like 4----------------2--------------------------3----1 (if you catch my drift) It totally fcks us, we are way way way too distant in our lines to connect up, There are certain states in the game where we can be : 2------------4---4 (atta...

Great stuff as usual Heidi. That's what its all about. Having watched every clip i can find on YT the swinging of the scarf above the head in all four stands was top class. I liked the little nonchalant wave in the first few seconds of the Interview. Brilliant.

In the game where Leicester City defeated Southampton 5-0, Leicester employed a 4-3-3 formation. This setup featured a dynamic front three and a solid midfield, which allowed them to control the game and exploit Southampton’s defensive weaknesses, especially since they will often send their full ba...

I have to say i agree with Colin Hart when he says Fury is on the slide. Usyk fought like the bigger man continuously pushing forward and cornering Fury on the ropes. Fury had a decent run from about round 3/4 for a few rounds and hurt Usyk in the process but the difference in weight and stamina was...
