This stood out to me from his reel. His passing through the lines - incredible.
The highlight reel probably doesn't show all the times this goes wrong and results in a turnover, but having a player who can play those passes is huge. Especially when we have so much movement off the ball in...
I played football with him a fair few times about 20 years ago. We were still on nodding terms when I saw him at the Amex. A very nice guy :( RIP Pete.

I did not know any of those things, appreciate you letting me know.
I think my general gripe is that our armed forces haven't been given the funding they so richly deserve for decades now. I hope we can get to that fabled 3% asap.
I hope so. Certainly our submarines seem rather impressive, and this DragonFire stuff is interesting.
Our military deserves far more. I worry about our capability to actually respond effectively to anything without NATO support.
If you think we were poorly prepared then, you should see us now.
