The Black (and White) Sheep

What new prize will "Johnny" Infantino be creating (unilaterally) on behalf of FIFA as of this morning??

yes please!

Surely he can be arrested and incarcerated for trespassing or maybe even espionage (there are documented links to certain nations)?

...and then lose the paperwork over where he is being incarcerated...

Why was Newcastle's goal ruled out? Newcastle had a goal controversially disallowed for a foul by Joe Willock on Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita - despite Tyrick Mitchell pushing Willock into Guaita.

Reminds me somewhat of this ridiculous decision where they showed the referee only the collision but not the push!

You know who we're all rooting for, don't you?? Elbows up!!!

Some companies do actively employ ex-offenders!

He'll be "sewing mail-bags" in the mean-time!

I expect they'll just blame Ron Varo (Navarro's made-up economist who apparently was behind these all along).

If the tariff's will need to be paid back then why aren't they being back to each country (as per the MAGA theories)?

Because obviously the countries were never paying them, it was always the US importer & ultimately the US consumer who pays tariffs - surely they can't hide from that fact anymore!

That's probably because they got that steak sauce company to setup the training curriculum!

It was at least a yard (maybe 2) inside the box and he put the free-kick spot about a 2 yards outside - it's not even close!

Depending on where you're staying I'd recommend the metro - they do daily, 3-day, weekly passes - we're close to Termi this time deliberately so we can use to all the main destinations.

virtually every church in Rome has phenomenal ceiling fresco's but St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City is just staggering - it just goes on forever

There's Roman stuff everywhere but not all are on the tourist maps.

Not a waste of time but...

Trevi Fountain - very busy so unless you go early it's a long wait to get near
Spanish steps was a little underwhelming considering everything else

Went last Feb - back again in 2 weeks time:

Colosseum/Palatine Hill (ideally book tickets prior to going, take ID's to get in as you will need them)
Pantheon + Temple of Hadrian (they're not far apart)
Trajan's market + Monument to Victor Emmanuel II
Theatre of Pompey - J.Caesar was murdered here

OMG - not sure what to say! Is it too late...?

Reminds me of that Romanian team who all dyed their hair blonde during the 1998 world cup to try and confuse the opposition/commentators. Very funny!

I've started doing "elbows-up" shopping - Ineos and Brewdog products will never be on my shopping list.

...they must think it's us vs Liverpool or Man United??

...on the other hand, when they (hopefully) lose the final (more hopefully to us 🙏) we all know they'll ridicule the cup again!

I'll be doing my best "6yr old watching Dr Who impression" (Jon Pertwee era for me)- i.e. I'll be hiding behind the sofa, yet again!

Expecting my siblings (2 are actual scousers, 2 are wannabe's) to be giving me grief tomorrow night!

Anything is ok, just hope it's not embarrassing!

Last part of the sentence is still true...😁

like your thinking...

Sounds good to me...

"Luis Enrique's men face Newcastle (9 pm) and hope to secure a victory against the Magpies, whom they have never beaten."

well at least if we don't know what formation we have, they won't have a clue.

On America's 250th anniversary, we have come…
From the Madness of King George III,
To the Moronic Turbulence of the American President.
History has never produced such a perfectly crafted story arc.

It's interesting that the rise and the fall of the USA will be book-ended by mad kings - one real and one a wannabe!

Armed forces minister Al Carns says comments about NATO troops not serving in Afghanistan are ‘utterly ridiculous’

‘I served tours... many alongside my American colleagues, we shed blood sweat and tears together’

On a positive note - at least we're above the unwashed! 😁

watch them find "newts" or a Roman palace with mosaic floors just as they put the first spade in!
