“Tell everybody, waiting for superman
That they should try to hold on the best they can
He hasn’t dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It’s just to heavy
for superman
To lift”

So who are ‘Mar’? If we show Germany games will we have ‘Deu’?

Curaçao were CAW for some reason. It’s not like there are other countries in the WC beginning with CUR and why CAW? Curasow? On that basis should Scotland be FFS?

Morocco are making Scotland look very ordinary.

We need Shankland on here.

Not yet it seems, I thought he'd go with Dykes after Shanklands performance v Haiti. He may start Dykes up top alone v Brazil

Dykes is more Australian standard than Scotland.

He's a good heritage on him big Lyndon, family near Dumfries.

Another Doonhamer, Grant Hanley has the small task of keeping Vinicius jnr at bay on Wed nite/Thurs morn. Just as well that guy is no good

If Andy Burnham becomes prime minister, he will be the first Cambridge educated prime minister since Baldwin in the 1930s. Also the first English literature student ever? A blow for diversity! After the dismal parade of Oxford PPE and law grads.

YouGov polling for The Times found that voters have significant doubts about an Andy Burnham premiership, with 79 per cent saying they knew nothing or little about Starmer’s probable successor.

Manchester is an island. It ain't the capital of The North, or anywhere else.

A major flu outbreak has sickened nearly 160 troops at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas less than two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that U.S. troops would no longer be required to be vaccinated for the flu—NYT

Why do we need to relearn the lesson that vaccines are a good thing?

Hegseth needs to learn the lesson.

He is dumb as a brick.
