    Technically we need a point and technically we could get a play off spot.

    Next Seasons Squad

    Naughton has done a more than decent job this season. Arguably the most consistent defender. Have the feeling Joe is going to hang up his boots anyway. Still got that football brain and ability is there (the tackle against Derby) but the body is not there (not often or long enough)

    Costas

    Costa and Starbucks are both poor. Prefer McDonald's flat white for a fraction of the cost. The Nero one is great though. Much stronger and richer. Can't abide weak coffee after visiting Ethiopia a few times. Now that makes a doppio look like dishwater.

    Costas

    Flat White's an Aussie invention. Small. strong and milky. My second favourite after a cortado.

    Andy Peebles RIP

    That's why I listen to 6. At least Lauren Laverne and Craig Charles are interesting.

    Clem Burke RIP

    It's difficult to conceive these days there were bands that were hugely popular like Blondie or The Jam yet remained critically acclaimed. Except perhaps 'Hear of Glass" with Girorgio Moroder 70s synth line-those singles could have been released by a cool Radio 6 band yesterday.

    Clem Burke RIP

    Was only watching 'When Blondie came to Britain' on the iPlayer Friday night. What a band! RIP Clem.

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 3 Blackburn Rovers 0 | Att: 13,788 | The EFL Championship

    Played rugby in Sunderland at university in the 80s. Pretty grim. Also stayed in a yurt at Gibside just south of Newcastle which was lovely. The Northumberland coast is stunning and very unlike South or west Wales. We had a week in a cottage in Alnmouth which is a great base with a lovely...

    Swansea City 3-0 Blackburn Rovers – Your player ratings

    Would pretty much agree with everything. Really thought O’Brien made us tick. Nice to see the CM passing forward and retrieving when lost. Wide players taking on their man. Centre forward holding the ball up and harassing defenders. Simple really

    Trump 2.0

    China will be loving this. Dismantling of USAID takes away much of their soft power in Africa giving China free rein to exploit the continent's development. There was massive Chinese investment in Ethiopia when I worked there. Already using African labour as cheaper again than China.

    Data in football

    Which is still data but qualitative rather than quantitative. It's harder to model which is why it's less fashionable. Just using quantitative data often leads to mistakes. McDonalds is the largest restaurant chain in the world by number of outlets and sales. Using those datasets may suggest...

    I prefer the later more pastoral and psychedelic stuff. The stuff they did from Skylarking (1986) until calling a day with the two Apple Venus LPs in early 2000s. They did some out and out 1960s psychedelic pastiche records as the 'Dukes of Stratosfear" as well. I like the earlier stuff too.

    Only Top 10 hit for the Swindon Beatles. Off the wonderful 'English Settlement' LP. I'm a bit of a fan.

    Would seem to have been one of the u21 and u18 coaches 2013-2017. Moved to Chelsea and the United as u23s coach and promoted to support the first team. Good reputation for player development. Looks to have done a sound job at Minnesota. May even big Dennis Lawrence -one of his current...
