Morgan Rogers

The BBC has turned into a licence fee paying version of Football Insider.

I see BBC are now talking about Rogers being on Arsenal’s shortlist. Although basically implying Rogers and Kroupi are valued at the same sort of level - which I would hope in reality is just nonsense.

Thankfully the BBC know the square root of f#ck all, check out their weather forecasts. Bigger fish than Arsenal will be interested I'd imagine. And it won't be £80M unless there is a clause.

I saw PSG linked with him this morning now that would be more credible?

Maybe but I'm not sure where he'd play. They are a much more obvious 433 than is normal in England right now and in that shape rogers best role of floating between the lines of LW/10/CM doesn't really exist. I doubt they'd risk converting him to an 8 (but I think he'd be very good at it) which means he has to go on either side of the 3 where they already have Kvaratskhelia, Doue and Barcola who are all more natural in those spots. It'd be a lot of money for someone who doesn't fill an obvious position in their setup. This is true for a few other clubs as well.

Yes, in the Reith years their transfer gossip was the envy of the civilised world.

I haven't tried any of the liquorice liqueurs mentioned, but Captain Morgan's spiced rum is pretty rank.

Surprised.  I think Morgan's Spiced is alright at the price point.  I mean, I'd rather spend an extra £6 on a bottle of Havana club 7, but Morgan's Spiced doesn't particularly offend me given it's cheap as chips.

I'm not keen on flavoured rums, just as I don't like flavoured coffee. I find Morgan's Spiced a bit cloying and artificial tasting. It's better than The Kraken though. I like a splash of coke in mine, so would go for Havana Club Añejo Especial or Appleton Estate Signature for roughly the same money. If spending more, Havana Club 7 and Appleton Estate 12 are a big step up, but I feel Ron Zacapa and Diplomático are overpriced.

I quite like Morgans Spiced Gold on the rocks, in a Villa glass.

Shudders.

If you can get it on special (it's normally around £45 in Sainsbury's), treat yourself to some El Dorado 12 year old. Delicious.

My gf really likes the Zacapa, but I think the best I've ever tasted was a 24 year old Matusalem.

No coke, though, or ice.

The same with other cask-matured spirits: when I walk into a bar and ask for a really nice old single cask malt whisky, and the bartender asks me: "Do you want it on the rocks?"  (Shudder) "No thanks, no ice, just with a splash of water in a separate glass to allow it to open up a bit..." Surely, that's barkeeping 101?

I really can't remember being asked that when asking for a good Cognac or Armagnac.

I can’t remember most of them, except Markus Tandy? Thank god.
