Sadly, in this day and age it is as "stone wall" as they come.

It would be fair to say lessons have been learned from Wales' dismal opening 20 minutes against England last week. If anything, Clive, they've started *too* well and scored *too* early.

Hats off to (spoiler alert) Lewis Ferguson but watching Scotland v Greece out of professional duty while knowing Celebrity Traitors with (no spoilers here) Yer Man in a cowl is on at the same time is fucking torture. 😂

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

Don't take it too seriously. Don't get bogged down in tactics: whether Raphinha played on the left or the right - nobody cares. What did you like about what you saw over the weekend? Good luck fellas, I'll be tuning in.

Barry Glendenning @barryglendenning.bsky.social · 7d

Jacob - tell us about your goals. We want to hear about them. What were you thinking, how did you feel.

A bit of humour, ideally aimed at yourself: "My fuckup" etc.

Nobody cares about Balon D'Or.

Great stuff, lads.

Get introduction music and have the host introduce himself and the others. Who is everyone?

Tell us what team they are playing for and the context of the game. (2/3)

Thanks Tim and hats off to the Gator. First up, Ben + these lads have spoken more sense in 10 min 34sec than Guardian Football Weekly has in 20 years!

Well done them! They are coming for us and we are seriously running scared 👏

I love it but some (unsolicited) advice ... if you don't mind.

As an immigrant who has come over here, etc and so on, I support Gary Neville on this one.

He has infuriated and enraged all the right racists and media outlet gobshites, in a state of affairs which suggests every word he said was spot on.

As if Big Dunc as the special guest isn't enough, hearing Jamie Carragher say "Kerkez", "Gakpo" and "Chiesa" in the same sentence on MNF almost makes the extortionate monthly subscription to Sky worth it.
