Well said, @burblish! Also, if anyone is keen for some pre-World Cup hope and excitement, the BBC are showing the first episode this evening of the mini-series Dear England, adapted from James Graham’s play about the England team under Gareth Southgate.

Well done Spurs!! Such a relief. And Sunderland and Bournemouth for Europa League.

Saw Dear England on stage. It’s really enjoyable. Would recommend

I also saw it and loved it! It was so well done.

Can't believe Sunderland got Europa League football.

My SIL is over the moon.

Such a shame Bournemouth didn't get CL.

Joseph Fiennes gets Southgate's mannerisms and body language spot on.

I am planning to watch it a bit, it will be funny to see the players.

I am not too fussed about the WC at the moment

We saw the play on stage. Watching F1 at the moment but will watch later in the week

I'd forgotten about half the players. 😂

I watched the first two episode and really enjoyed it.

Notts County promoted to League One after beating Salford 3-0

Watched that one. Huddersfield have one player on loan at Salford and one at Notts County!

Good luck Crystal Palace ⚽

Good luck to Palace! My best friend’s BIL is there supporting them so hope he gets to see a good match.

I also picked up my World Cup sticker album today. Anyone else doing one with me? LOL

Eep! Our manager merry go round continues with Martin Drury now in charge of Huddersfield which was announced today. First Huddersfield born manager since 1987.

Can we please keep a manager for one season? Please?

Oh good! Anthony Gordon is going to Barcelona. That means he won't be coming to Arsenal.

I could be persuaded by Rashford though...

Thank you!

Thank you.

Palace are having an interesting game, the slippery sly Spaniards have made a few fouls. We haven’t got going yet. Why hasn’t Mateta scored in an away game for so long?!

Oh yes, come on Palace!

Ask and ye shall receive! 😄

Congratulations Palace! They deserved that!

Very pleased with palace win and a long awaited goal from Mateta!

Well done Palace

Well done Palace!

Congratulations Palace!

Let's hope we can make it an English clean sweep on Saturday!
