Wrexham now realising why promotion to the Premier League may not be as fun as they think.

You cut to Mickey Thomas for nothing!

I’ll turn over to Newcastle v City then

It sounds like how AI would describe jellied eels

I hope you’re not sat next to Leonard Rossiter

STOP THE BOATS!!!

“Of course, none of that will matter to The Narrative. The Romance! The Dreams! The Funding Of A Club Through Hollywood Superstars Who Subsequently Sold A Stake To Private Equity! Glenn Hoddle Offering Less Than Nothing On Co-Commentary! This, as Peter Drury would say, is football.”

Clown style.

If Spurs are going down, they’re going down in style.

Clown style.

The rescheduled match between Levante and Villarreal took place a couple of weeks ago. I went back to check if this AI write-up of the postponed game was still up, and it is - but now it also has the stats and line ups of the rescheduled fixture, making it even more confusing.

Sound of Football Podcast 645 - Throwing in the towel Is an increased reliance on corners and long throws to create goals a cause for concern? Is it something lawmakers should be called on to rectify?

Now that goals from corners and long throws are mainstream, is it time the lawmakers did something about them?

Also this week discuss Arsene Wenger's offside idea which has been approved to be trialled in Canada.

Yes, it's all VAR's fault. Again.

Isn’t it a thing that you can remove him from Raiders of the Lost Ark and everything still happens the same.

Looks like the bookies have much less faith in Spurs than Opta. They're mostly quoting 4/1 to go down

Chester Butler: 'No-one believed my grandad was Colin Dixon' No-one believed Chester Butler when he said his grandad was Colin Dixon. Now, he is off to play for Wales at the World Cup.

This is him scoring his only Premier League goal. And it's a belter. youtu.be/uCBcKuVkwzM?...

Bangladesh are currently 2-0 down to China in their Women's Asian Cup opener. Their head coach is former West Ham player Peter Butler. His career journey sounds amazing:

It looks pretty damn close!
