RIP Lisa. Another one of us who will be watching games from the sky.

Don’t Be Cruel - Elvis Presley

I agree. With Scott and Semenyo gone there are fewer surging runs. Massengo often got the crowd going with his energy. Out of the current players Pring can get the crowd on their feet when he runs with the ball (but we haven’t seen much of that this season). Also Weimann with his energy when he presses. But yes, those moments are currently few and far between.

Deep And Wide And Tall - Aztec Camera

Gutted. Spain deserved the win, though. They were the better side today.

Spain deservedly in front. They are passing and moving much better than us.

Such a disappointing performance. What happened to the high energy style we are meant to be adopting? I saw it from Brum, who were hungrier than us throughout, but not from us. We started very slowly. Then as we began to try to get a grip on the game we gave the ball away, which ultimately led to their first goal. Second half with Sykes on and Bell wide we stretched them more, but apart from the chance Wells didn’t put away we created nothing. Too much pedestrian football played at walking pace and far too many basic errors.

I’m expecting a tight game. I just hope we try to impose ourselves on the game and play with more pace than we did against Preston.

Two Little Hitlers - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I’ve just seen this colourised picture on fb. Fascinating. I think it’s Billy Wedlock who is standing on the 6 yard line.

I’d forgotten about that one. Is that the kit where some fans won a competition or something to be in the team photo?

Truth Drug - Napalm Death

Simple Song - The Shins

It’s My Party (And I’ll Cry If I Want To) - Ingrid DuMosch

Candle In The Wind - Elton John

Just seen the highlights. What a finish.

Excellent win at a tough ground. Good to get the first win of the season out of the way.

Birdhouse In Your Soul - They Might Be Giants

Learn To Fly - Foo Fighters

Red Shoes By The Drugstore - Tom Waits

Gutted that Alex has gone, even though it was inevitable and we have presumably got good money for him. He was joy to watch and his attitude on the pitch was always excellent. Best wishes to him.

Mother Of The Bride - Billy Bragg
