Not bad for 'just a cheerleader'

Not bad for 'just a cheerleader'

Jordan Henderson is fine footballer. Not a superstar, but a fine midfielder. He might not turn out to be a regular this season for Chelsea. But he's at the club on merit. Just like, in my opinion, he was in the US on merit (and plenty of experience).

I've heard that Liverpool, after acquiring our sporting director, our head coach and our left back, and expressing an interest in our right winger, tried to agree terms over the summer to buy our red and black striped kit from us.

..... thankfully Vitality put paid to their interest

What exactly do we know about Fisher?

Considering he's very much on the inside now, are there gaps in his back story that should be a concern?

>!I thought the fact that he had the limited edition book seemed like a loaded moment. And also that John rather swiftly just put it down to him being a keen collector. That feels like it has the potential to be an oversight.!<

>!There's also the fact of course that he was left alone with Neville's usb drive just feels like too big an oversight not to be impactful.!<

>!Should Fisher know what Ludwig looks like? As proved he did when he impressed on him in their first meeting how much of a fan he was.!<

>!And was it a portentous sign that Neville responded to Lucy saying Fishers office was a safe space with "Hmm, no its isnt". Its alluded to that Neville works on instinct and gut feeling and an open mind. Has he picked up on something about Fisher?!<

Did something mildly 2024 viral. Was really rather good. The washer upper appreciated it too.

What's something you'll never buy yourself but if offered you enjoy.

Was at my parents and asked if I want a piece of cake. This was the only option. Enjoyed it.

But I have never knowingly bought, and can't see me ever buying, Genoa cake.

PSA - If you can make it, San Sebastian is a wonderful place to visit (and of course the home of the man that got us into Europe, so it could be something of a pilgrimage).

There's hundreds of excellent tapas bars in the town and it's an eating and drinking experience you wont forget in a hurry. I'd recommend staying a couple of nights if you can to soak in the atmosphere. It's a really wonderful place.

OOP things you love to see in GW1

I imagine if he gets returns today, my 1.67% TSB differential advantage will drop a lot my next GW.

Do me proud Maxim 🙏

Jason's is the Tony's Chocolonely of the sourdough world.

It seems to strongly divide opinion, and it's advocates especially can be quite partisan.

I personally think a lot of their success stems from canny marketing and branding (and the ubiquity of their product, which ironically means they have to be more commercialised producers) rather than outstanding products.

Why some days do RAF planes show up on plane trackers and some days they don't? Are they on official RAF duty on the days they don't?

Today in Poole a jet flew over, you couldn't miss the noise! I caught sight of it today despite the cloud cover and it looked like a Eurofighter Typhoon.

The same happened yesterday, and on Friday. But it was only on Friday that I could track it (it was a Eurofighter and it went west to east along the south coast).

We don't often see planes like that passing over here, and given it's been 3 times in 4 days now, and that you can no longer track them, it got me wondering why they seem to be passing over the area more regularly if not on something official.

Very, very nearly shat myself last night.

It was a matter of seconds away so a really close call. It made me think if I had, would I tell my wife, who thought I was just having a pee? This is the second time in the last few months so may not be so lucky next time.

Would you tell your partner?

EDIT; I had a ten minute walk home and thought it was just a bit of wind at first and nearly farted - jeez I’m glad I didn’t. It was two minutes from home when I realised I was in trouble. Plus I didn’t have my keys so texted ahead to have the door open ready for a slick movement (so to speak). I might be to blame as had had two pints of hazy pale ale.

You always take a couple of parallels from a tin. And one of the chase 'rookies' too. Prem flagship has upped its game this season, inserts especially are really good.

Who do we think might come to fore this season from the fringes?

BGD had a lively World Cup and has scored a couple in pre season. Could be good to see him get some momentum, though it might need to be on the left assuming Rayan is surely our main starter out right.

Chelsea £64m bid rejected for Alex. I think/hope the best we can expect is a Semenyo type situation where we sell him in the Jan window. He doesn't seem like the kind to kick up a stink so hopefully there's something there that suits everyone.

Now that it's almost over, which players do you think performed best and worst at the World Cup?

The good.

For me, Ruiz, Dembele and Hakimi had largely the tournaments I expected them to. They're just high quality players.

Barcola when he was good was really good (but pretty bad when he was bad). Mbaye showed flashes.

The less good.

Vitinha, Neves, Mendes and Marquinhos never really got going for various reasons.

But Doue for me is the biggest disappointment. He had a couple of good moments, but overall he wasn't close to his ceiling. Was too safe a lot of the time, had defensive lapses, and just generally wasn't a big enough threat.

(I didn't see enough of Pacho and Kang In to judge, and WZE wasn't involved enough to make an assessment).
