    Now saying he's not a betting man - somebody better explain to him what hedge funds are.

     

    LBC have just dragged up an interview with Sunak where he revealed how he used to enjoy spread betting when he was a young investment banker working in America. 

    “It was around that time that spread betting had become a thing online. I had certainly never done it before. I was sitting there working on one side doing my investing finance job, and on the other screen I was doing next wicket partnership, next wicket fall, innings total. I just discovered this thing and it was great.”

    Yes but it's the usual story, would VAR have disallowed it at the other end?  We've all seen in our own country how selective use of VAR can favour one team - that's the real concern for me against Germany.

    I just watched it again.

    I think we might have gotten away with the offside had Hendry not - unnecessarily - touched the keeper.

    Such a shame. It was a wonderful goal.

    My biggest FEAR is VAR, especially post Sevile.

    🤢

    Were we offside and did we push the goalkeeper?

    It was a stunningly beautiful goal and to be disallowed was hugely disappointing - But we played our part in having it disallowed. 

  4. Have Gibraltar still not built a stadium? They've had years.

    A return to the out of town Estadio Algarve?   Pity it's not the Farense stadium, which is about a 10 minute walk from Faro centre/marina.

     

    Monday and Friday? A minimum of 3 days holiday when it could have been 1.

    So much to cram in this year.

    Only a fan-site opinion, but worth a read...

     

     

    Southampton have report ably put a £6 million price tag on Che Adams head should he leave this January, but it seems that even at this knockdown price, the buyers are yet to put in an offer and Saints could well opt to keep him at St Mary's.

    Che Adams obviously feels that his place is in the Premier League, hence he turned down the offer of a new contract at the start of the season and ended up staying for the first part of the season.

    With his current deal up in the summer, you would have thought that a few potential suitors would step forward, especially as the asking price now is said to be as low as £6 million, roughly the price that Saints would have to pay to bring in the likes of Aberdeen's Bojan Miovski or Hearts Laurence Shankland, two strikers from Scotland linked with the club should Adams leave.

    Southampton seem relaxed about the situation, but with the need for a striker at the head of their list, be it Che Adams or a new man, it seems that the club will not be held to ransom and although they might well accept an offer that is acceptable, they will not do so unless they have tied up a replacement first, therefore letting Che Adams go on deadline day is unlikely.

    footballleagueworld.co.uk are quoting Talksport's Alex Crook who is claiming that it is now highly likely that Adams will still be a Saints player come the end of the transfer window.

    It seems both Saints and Adams himself are happy to see where the situation leads, the player can now see that Saints have a real chance of regaining their Premier League status and that being the case is prepared to hang on and then talk about contracts if and when the club are promoted.

    But he is also open to offers and should Wolves or Crystal Palace, two of the potential suitors come up with the cash, then he will consider it, it seems that Everton who were heavily linked ar now not in the running and even if they were with further points deductions in the pipeline for the Toffee's, Adams might see that his chances of Premier League football next season are better with Southampton than Everton.

    But I would also expect a late offer for Adams, to be blunt £6 million is peanuts for a player with Adams experience, but Saints seem to be very clear here, they are prepared to let him leave in the summer for free rather than cash in now if they have not tied up an adequate replacement.

    No NHS waiting lists for the royals.

    The day after the Rwanda vote and the news a wee boy tragically starved to death after his Father dropped dead in the home... And almost every front page covered the royals and their minor ops.

    Shelagh Fogerty (LBC) likes the monarchy, but even she was like WTF at those front pages.   Pray for them?   FFS.

    I think Kim had a hit singing a duet with Sam Smith last year, but she is German, and also the first Trans singing to win a Grammy or something like that

    Funny you mention Sam Smith.   In answer to the OP asking about who we would like and not like, I was going to suggest Sam Smith for the latter. When he first came on the scene, I think people mistook his put-on whining for emotion.

    Yep, granted, that only the best 3rd place team from Group D,E & F who play the winner of England's group.

    So for us, its either Cologne v the winner of the Spain/Croatia/Italy group, Frankfurt to play the winner of the Turkey/Portugal/Czech group or Munich to play the winner of Belgium/Slovakia/Romania/Play off B.

    On paper, actually finishing 3rd with a good points tally and getting a game in Frankfurt v the Czech's or Munich against Slovakia would be more appealing than playing Serbia/England or Italy/Croatia/Spain.

    My heart sank when you mentioned Gelsenkirchen.

    Not at you, but at UEFA. 

    I thought, 'A sixth venue? How can UEFA make this so f*cking complicated?!'

    Finish 3rd, then got to wait and see what happens, then its a case of we might be playing in Cologne or Gelsenkirchen on the 30th, Frankfurt on the 1st, or Munich on the 2nd 

    Gelsenkirchen?

    FIrst I've heard of that. I thought it was Cologne, Frankfurt or Munich.
