The good news is, if I am reading it right, that we scored just below the Premier League efficient in our first season back.

So I think that means this season our points earned will start elevating us up the ranks.

New chant for the Wolves game ?

"Seventy Ninth in Europe...You'll never sing that"

It would be technically correct, because they were actually 72nd in 2020-21.

Lincoln Red Imps through to the next round, TNS and Shamrock look likely to join them.

Stading on regent street right now waiting for the ladies to finish in Holister. If I was Madrid or Dortmund I would enjoy it rather more. But I have that we've won it feeling all the same.

And you will very soon.

I wonder if he's still waiting outside Hollister.
