It's what Rob Key the candid media commentator might have (rightly) called 'taking the piss'. But he's not the candid commentator now.

It's great to have some attention on the Ekstraklasa, thank you! Lots of Spanish and even Portuguese players there now as money is better than options at home.

Indeed!

Thanks Philippe.

Though I now realise you were supporting Philippe's argument, so scratch that 'indeed'!

Indeed. I can't think of a stadium with a non-English name which we wouldn't use the definite article with: the Riazor, the Azteca, the San Nicola, the Volksparkstadion... so the San Siro is entirely normal usage.

Philippe, Boubacar Kamara may be better than all three, but doesn't seem to get selected. So strange.

That tower is glorious!

Excellent. Think the three-hander works better than the four.

The hand puppets 👏

He's going to write for the FT.

That's a lovely read.

Thanks Philippe. The mighty Kidderminster Harriers are also here: @khfcofficial.bsky.social

I've never said thanks for a pod before, but: thank you. This was illuminating and really well put together.

San Nicola in Bari

Goodness me. 'Roll the dice' says it all.

Congrats on 10 years - I look forward to it every Tuesday. I loved both the Charlton strips, but Mourinho trumps everything. When I read/hear/think of him, he's filed in my mind as one of your drawings rather than real Mou - in fact I haven't got a clue what the real Mou looks like anymore...
