I think Bellingham is a great talent. Nowhere near as good as Phil, though. I almost fell for all the hype until we played Franco's Blancos in the quarters.

Oh and Nick Harris is still a ****.

There's a very funny article on the back of the Sports Section in the DT today. It highlights what a lot of us thought about the footy coverage from the broadcasters.

Alan Tyers is the journo. He writes: Rio Ferdinand and Steve McManaman were special players but allowing or encouraging them to bounce about like Real Madrid superfans after a third can of Red Bull is far from a great watch. . . . .

and

The TNT feed on X had a clip of its pundits' reaction after Vinicius Junior scored: Ferdinand barked 'Ballon d'Or' not once, not twice but nine times. Initially one wondered if something had gone wrong with him. Had he been possessed by the spirit of Father Ted's Father Jack Hacket. Would Woods have to unplug Rio and reboot him? It feels like Ferdinand always has half an eye on how his punditry is going to look when he watches it back on his phone in the Addison Lee afterwards.

Classic stuff!

Camel gob was more back door than Balon D’or if evasion tactics are considered.

Still stuck in a Spanish hospital. Can't help but contrast how RMs win is treated like.a triumph for the whole Spanish nation and compare it to how we were recieved last year. The grudging acknowlement of our triumph, you'd think the British team had lost. I cant imagine over here in Barcelona and Bilbao not to mention the red half of Madrid the result will have caused universal rejoicing. But here In Majoca they celebrated long and hard they really our the rags of Spain but bigger.

It did catch my attention on Saturday that TNT had swapped McPointy with McCoist, and rightly so.
That semi final of Pointy screaming like a Real Madrid fanboy was cringey to say the least.
Absolutely no professionalism in his role as a pundit.
He'd obviously been called out by some viewers for them to drop him

"What Middlesbrough has to offer"? That shouldn't take long!
