A very enjoyable read, as always, Henry. It’s great that you went to both ends of the football spectrum - internationals, not just UK sides, down to non-league Macclesfield. All of it is important. Cheers.

Thanks Peter. I should do more outside the PL tbh.

Not completely sure about the “Duracell” ballboy Henry. Is he, should he be, as prompt when it’s the oppositions corner? Or at least leave the opposition corner taker to fetch the ball himself. There are, of course, options for being particularly unhelpful. Or is it all OK - help your own side; don’t help the opposition? Call me curmudgeon but I thought it was 11-a-side 😏

Such a broad range of topics covered again on a Monday. Totally agree with your point on Dyche. Gets such an unfair reputation. Is a good safe pair of hands for a club. He should get another job soon. Leicester would b a good fit. Agree also, pressing was being done long before the Premier League began.

Nice you pointed out Barnet's success and likely promotion. Used to live 10 mins from undersell an I was born not to far away. Always kept an eye out for ow they do. Hopefully they can stay in the league period for many years again.

Dan James such a frustrating player. So quick but end product is not great at times. Goes on these patches of form then disappears. Always struggled for consistency. Was never a Man Utd player.

Loved the German quick corner goal against Italy. Great thinking. Ball boy did play a part though.

Barnet have a decent budget. Bit of controversy over their move back. But I understand the emotional pull.

Ball boy played a huge part !! Italians still furious. I think it was a trend they started !!

11 more point for Barnet Henry, we're very close. And right to point out Dean getting the best out of a great group of characters.

Yes very much so, you can see why players want to play for him. Few games left at The Hive for you to take a game in 😉
