Clamour Resistant Squad

Will Tuchel’s pragmatic squad selection prove to be unclamourable?

You can’t clamour for those not selected now, and the starting 11 feels pretty set. If he’d taken yer Palmers, yer Gibbs-Whites, yer Whartons, there’d have been a spot of clamour after the inevitably stodgy group games - but who is there to clamour for here?

Is this the greatest master stroke of all?

Swiss club stickers spotted in random places: FC Sion in Shaftesbury, Dorset

Following on from that recent MHD chat, this baffled me when I came across it.

I tried to find any record of Sion playing vs Bournemouth in a pre season friendly or something but no evidence of that ever happening.

You do get a few tourists checking out the hill from the old Hovis advert but would it have aired in Switzerland?

And why slap a club sticker on a random lamppost on the other side of town?

Bizarre

Player Who Stayed At X Club Too Long

Genre of player: a (usually foreign) highly-rated player who joins a team that seems slightly below their level, presumably as a stepping-stone to a more succesful club, only to stay at that team for far longer than anyone would have expected and never get their big move. Bonus points if they survive a relegation

Behind-The-Goal-Linesmen. Whatever happened to these wee guys??

Remember them?? They came and went like the ocean's tide.

Come to think of it, are they still there?? I don't think they are. Did they lose their jobs to goalline technology??
