Football

For me it was a positive.  An expression against years and years of bigotry at fooball grounds.  The players were making a clear and obvious rejection of this.

Looking forward to the big game of the weekend in London. The West Yorkshire titans taking on the sleeping giants of North West London. Wonder how Barnet v Halifax will play out. Halifax were strong last season whereas Barnet seem to have found a home in the lower reaches of the national league.

As soon as the fixture list was released I booked a return rail trip to King's Cross (and it's an easy tube journey from there to Canons Park), fully intending to travel.

However, long story short, I subsequently had to schedule a holiday which clashed, so I rebooked my tickets for Maidenhead on 2nd Sept (a few southern-based TNMSers / BTWers are meeting up for this game also - everyone welcome 😊).

So I'll be listening to the match commentary under a parasol by a swimming pool, probably. 😎

Enjoy the sun! Hope the commentary doesn't spoil things too much !

Hope the Greek setting was a big enough distraction during away the commentary Matt!

Yes, it needed to be!

Sounds very much like a real horror show of a display from us and Barnet strolled to a comfortable and deserved win.

The only silver lining is that we have good competition for every position in the team, so I expect there'll be a major overhaul for our first home game next Saturday (I'll be arriving home in the wee small hours of that morning).

What is going on at United?? Such a poor result yesterday.

Martinez looks completely ill equipped to be a centre back in the premier league snd you have to question who made the decision to spend all that money on him.

Ronaldo is toxic and I think United may regret not getting rid when they had the chance.

Will more transfers be sanctioned before the transfer window shuts or will the board be worried about throwing more money after bad?

[Slim]

Was going to start a United thread. I'll do that in a bit. Horrific situation.

Tuchel sacked by Chelsea. Who do they have lined up? Seems insane on the face of it.

[dom]

Talking to Potter, the Brighton manager.  Seems they plan to work in the same way as they did under Abramovic

[Slim]

Chelsea appoint Graham Potter as new manager on a rolling 45-minute contract

Thankfully the inane decision to cancel the football and racing (but not cricket, golf, Rugby League etc etc) has lasted only one game day.  Back to normal this week - albeit where the respective sports belatedly get their opportunity to pay their due respects; I won't be excluding myself from that.

Well, the last three days of the Tour of Britain cycle race called off its last three stages, but I read that was because the Police motorbike riders who shepherd the event were called to duty in London - and were bored off their tits because they had nowt to do...
