Not sure that was the right game to judge Gyokeres.

We didn't have a Back 3. We had a Back 5. Why? Cos we have been outworked in Midfield by pretty much everyone this year, and Ar5e were always going to do that.

That would be a Back 5 with 1 top quality Defender, Van de Ven. A half-decent RB playing LB, 2 midfielders playing RB/CB, and Dragusin, who is clearly not suited to English football. While we have a CB out on loan in Germany who everyone is after. Hope he is as forgiving as Saliba once was.

Basically Gyokeres would ask players to run at Van de Ven, and then have fun.

Arsenal did not play well (although they were better than other games recently). Sadly, they didn't need to. Thought the scoreline flattered you. But the better side won.

Anti-depressants. Just what the doctor ordered, even if I was borderline relapsing after the equalizer.

Even Gyok the schmock was at it today 

for a little context , my dad taught william and harry for 5 years before eton

when "porchy" died , 25 years ago , dad showed me a picture of him that was an absolute ringer for andrew . he showed me the obituary with a photo i cannot find and asked if it looked like anyone .

2 seconds max i said andrew.

I’d have said William, and yes I know that’s an extra generational carry over.

Here's my thoughts on the late Queen in relation to all this.

I'm certainly no fan of the Monarchy. Even so, probably better than some elected figurehead.

We live in a strange World where people are portrayed as heroes and villains. In reality, people are more rounded. Not just "saints" and "sinners". The late Queen is not some sort of flawless Saint.

The bits about Andrew would come as no surprise. The Press don't report facts if they don't fit their narrative. In 2011, the late Queen was in a better position than anyone else in relation to this:-

1. She was funding Andrew's lifestyle, and paying most of his expenses as Trade envoy;
2. She was presented with the facts as to why she should no longer support him in that position (currently believed to be in relation to Epstein), and agreed to his removal
3. It was her that was presented with the facts presented by Mrs Giuffre, and decided to spend £12 million of her own money to protect her son

She resonated with the people, for all sorts of reasons. But (unlike her eldest boy) she was not a "people pleaser". She would not have allowed the Monarchy to be dragged through the current media frenzy. And indeed avoided it. For more than a Decade.

he does look like the aristocrat formerly known as prince ...

I'm actually rather pleased that Her Maj (Lizzy, not Camilla) is no longer with us. Can't begin to imagine how she'd be feeling now about all this.

He is eligible for his old age pension, £7k a year.

£12k assuming he's paid his NI conts - if not pension credit* and legal aid.


*other benefits are available

I wonder how he managed to get focus on Andrew rather than the front seat occupants and how he avoided glare from the flash?

But still got red-eye

That’s not red-eye, it’s his natural look…

The whole sorry story is becoming boring. Frankly I think it would be better to just leave him to his seventh age in Norfolk descending into mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything


Mandelson and many others of his ilk on the other hand…
