Personally prefer Dorchester to Bridport as far as towns in the area go. West Bexington is a tiny village on the beach nearby - great pub on the front there but not much else. Lovely though. I love Sidmouth. Spectacular cliffs along the beach. Topsham is even better but completely different! A...

Played the whole game for Germany in a 7-0 win so still valued by Nagelsmann https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cgqyz0xdgg3t

A lot of logic there, but the reality is that he's now odds on with bookies who are rarely wrong about these things. https://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/brighton/next-permanent-manager

To give a summary of what's been said online since the game, Chat GPT sums it up as: " Bart Verbruggen (7/10): Made crucial saves to deny Schlupp, showcasing his reflexes and composure, but couldn't prevent Mateta's header. Jan Paul van Hecke (7/10): Solid defensively, barring a moment where...

So, with AI about to take over the world, just how good are they are rating the players in yesterday's game? First up, Bard. Bart Verbruggen (6.5): The young Belgian goalkeeper was at fault for Burnley's opener but made some crucial saves in the second half to keep Brighton in the game. Lewis...

Re the commentating... It's just what I was thinking. So irritating. At one moment it's 'They need to take a bit of pace off the ball when they shoot' and the next it's 'Ferguson should have hit that harder'! It's probably the worst commentating I've heard in the last year.

So you think he's an amazing player, but you wonder if you've been underestimating him? Are you saying then that perhaps he's truly one of the best ever? Pele, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo, Dunk?

Not good for the club though if that happens. Our model is based on buying young, promising players, coaching them, selling them on for huge prices, and then reinvesting the returns. We need Caicedo to be a huge success so that in a year or two we can get another £100m for Mitoma, Enciso and...

Solly for me!

New article about Tony Bloom in the Times today. Interesting read. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/18f4f4b6-cfce-11ed-9a78-fca06b87e87b?shareToken=65e523d5cb0e87fd0b1247867f037f66 It's behind a paywall, but I was able to read it by accessing it via this twitter post.

Also missed the early closure. So if you're letting in more votes then 2-0 to Brighton.

Great recommendation - thanks. Follows on a run of 3 great series I've watched in recent weeks - Foundation and the Detectorists being the other two.
