@FootballCliches Memphis Depay is playing at this tournament as a free agent. He’ll want to put in some good performances, not only to help Netherlands progress but also to attract interest from big clubs, but he can’t put himself in the shop window without a shop. Where is he? The front lawn?
@norcrosscricket Having listened to your glowing review of Chez Bruce’s lobster raviolo while on comms during the Kent match, this evening I visited and had the same. Simply sensational. Alas, missed the Surrey batting innings though (my fault for leaving it to the mrs to book).
@FootballCliches Fletcher on comms saying Haaland let his hair down “in more ways than one” after he took his hair band off before the end of the Arsenal game. Understandably couldn’t avoid the urge to use the idiom, but Haaland obviously didn’t let his hair down in any other, non-literal, way.
The first time where an opening scorer had their goal equalised by a player with one additional letter in their surname
since Kevin Davies equalised for Bolton in 2008 after Sean Davis had opened the scoring for Portsmouth.

@FootballCliches On the US broadcast of Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, co-commentator Steven Warnock described Arsenal as ‘champions elect.’ Surely not appropriate in this instance. What’s the threshold for the usage of ‘champions elect’?
