The PSR rules exist to stop clubs like Newcastle United being snapped up by countries and then dominating the game on the back of it. The rules are far from perfect but, as we have seen with Newcastle, they serve a purpose. It means that the 80 odd other clubs can still dream. I always fail to...

It's not a view I agree with. The bigger nations have the option to try out fringe players in these matches. And a 1-0 victory today for England is hardly the biggest endorsement. These nations will only improve over time. It was said that a number of Andorra players are professional now. They...

At my age I still learn new words every day in NSC

'If Ian scores, we're on the pitch' was a bit confusing as I had my feet up in the front room and it was rather unlikely. I suspect that had Ian scored the crowd would not have been celebrating.

There's an awful lot of hopping Tarzans around at this stage of qualifying

Well if their suppers have worked it out, they need to stop dining out on their success and listen a bit more.

That's fair enough. It's just the ugly abuse that irks me. I don't think he's a crap manager because players seem to like him, which is much of the battle, but I did find him very negative at times tactically which was a bit frustrating.

Ah, I should make a note. If a manager doesn't win anything he is a wanker. That's a lot of managerial wankers.

Why was he a wanker ?

Rather silly. Andorra haven't been tonked at home for quite a while. They made Switzerland sweat not so long ago. If this had been Spain or France no-one would be on their back. I'd be more than happy with just the three points. It's a very different sort of challenge.

They'll need to sort this out for when they play Algeria in the next qualifier.

Maybe I should try and put some cardboard cut outs on the floor.

My mini Pool Valley sees the Southdown Leyland from Worthing arrive today. All the way from 1966. Backing into Bay 8. I've always loved buses and trains and turned collecting into a hobby. Although I don't think I could get a whole one in here. NSCers, show off your hobby collections here...

I struggled with: Which Argentine midfielder became a star for Brighton before moving to Chelsea in 2023? Still struggling with that one....

I read that as tobacco

Just shows what a joke these things are. Written by anyone and quoted as fact. £54m would make Verbruggen the third most expensive keeper signing of all time. He's not even in the top 5 Premier League keepers.

27.7% of the players featured in tonight's match are called Tom.

Yes, indeed I too voted for Monorail. But more because it was just a silly answer.

Which of the work experience interns did these valuations ?
