For those that missed it, England's under-20 side are into the final of the World Cup in South Korea on Sunday. First time any England men's team has made a world final since 1966.


Since there's a lot of rubbish news around at the moment I thought it was worth highlighting, and hopefully good news for the senior side in a few years (assuming any of them can get a game in the EPL!).

Lost in the brouhaha of last Friday's election results, the transfer window officially opened. So football comrades (and Quids), what positions/players do you think your club needs to buy in/get rid of etc?


For MUFC I would like to see a decent centre half (looks like we're signing Lindelof from Benfica, no idea if he's any good or not), a long term replacement for Carrick (Tony Kroos would be nice Santa), and a couple of strikers who know where the back of net is. Would like Kane but that ain't going to happen, Morata from Madrid looking a done deal but not sure he a 20-25 goal a season striker. Wouldn't mind seeing Chicarito return...

I like the look of the some the young Ajax players that did so well in Europe last season. Klaasen would be a steal in midfield. I'd certainly like a little more creativity in midfield to challenge Ericksen and another centre-forward though Dembele from Celtic would be nice I reckon he's headed elsewhere. I also think Spurs need that one player that's been there and done it in Europe with that extra bit of experience that we need. Not sure who yet, someone that all the players would be able to look up to and be inspired by... so not John Terry then. ;-)
Oops! I completely forget...Demarai Gray. I'd really like to see him at Spurs next season. Definitely fits the profile for our club. A talented young English player. Skilful and with bags of pace, and pace is a little something we're missing at the moment in our side. Probably cost a lot more than he would have at the beginning of last season but a terrific young talent in the making and improving all the time. Scored a terrific goal tonight for the Under-21s.

A lot of talk pre-Under-21 tournament about how England players such as Kane, Alli and Rashford should drop down and play in order to get experience of tournaments and hopefully gain a much needed winning mentality. Meanwhile, Germany sends their under-20 squad to the tournament and wins it, whilst their Under-21's win the Confederation Cup, whilst their first-team squad suns it up on the beaches. Deutschland ?ber alles...

Yes - that's funny RD - liked Gary Linekar's tweet too.


And more importantly : Celtic push for a review of the competitive/sporting advantage achieved by Rangers through their tax dodging


?We note today?s decision by the Supreme Court. Celtic?s position on this issue has been consistent - that this has always been a matter for the courts of law and also the Scottish football authorities, whose rules are intended to uphold sporting integrity.


?In 2013, we expressed surprise - shared by many observers and supporters of the game - over the findings of the SPL Commission that no competitive or sporting advantage had resulted. Today?s decision only re-affirms that view.


?We are sure now that the footballing authorities in Scotland will wish to review this matter. Celtic awaits the outcome of their review.?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
