Sadly I think Paris are now clear but Arsenal are the level of the other three with probably the best defence of any of them and the worst attack.

Reckon Barca, Real, PSG & Bayern are just a level above the likes of Arsenal & Man City (the best of the rest?)

Rotherham are struggling badly too

Some interesting discussions on the Barnsley Forum but I can't see much about the reasons for their poor form. What's a 'Pie Lark'? [Link]

4 buses crashed by Morden station?

Anyone know what’s going on at Barnsley this season(so far)? Always seen them as an upper L1 club that might occasionally enjoy a season in the championship.

That’s exactly it. Even before Villa took the goal kick you could see Barcelona had them boxed in and were going to press hard. They could do that because they know Villa don’t mix it up.

Paris Maghoma scores yet again for Norwich….

Bayern and Atletico are managing it better, mixing the playing out with the punt upfield. Olise probably has the best first touch in football at the moment.

The playing out from the back thing is so weird - the fact that it fails so frequently even at the very highest level surely makes it very obvious that it should be avoided at our level at all costs…

Villa get a big Champions League night out in Barcelona and quickly give away one of these modern goals where they try and pass it out from their own 6 yard box at a goal kick, mess it up and give away the softest goal.

I would ask nicander to summarise what it said but I don’t want him to brutally cut his own head off whilst shaving.

sadly the wayback machine didn't archive the article

I think more likely from lawyers

Perhaps they got a letter from the trust 🤡

Huh, that link has been pulled

New piece on Mir. I'm sure the DTB and friends will say nothing to see but pretty murky. [Link]

Shaktar Donesk v Sporting Lisbon being played at Stamford Bridge. Looks a decent crowd

Alan - I see, it must have been the mention of Hampshire & IoW Constabulary - nevertheless, ewww and yuck…. :((

Speaking of Leigh Park, just finished a book from one of its more talented sons, Roland Orzaba, singer songwriter with Tears for Fears. Mixed reading experience, his life is good to read about by the interjection of the astrology stuff throughout is a bit boring (to me) but it also does explain some of their songs.

No, he has had involvement with a Hampshire and IW something of other, like a lot of thing, H&IW services come in many guises, fire service, police, hospital trust etc He's been with Leigh Park in Havant in a council capacity

The leader of the iow council is an independent, but good try.

Alan - isn’t he IoW council leader too though?

Surely the worst look is suit and tie plus a baseball cap with a banal slogan on it.
