Idle musings on the transfer window as reported.

Premier league clubs have spent a combined 1.7 billion, according to some.

If a player from club A moves to club B for £100m, a player from club B moves to club C for £100m etc etc and a player from club Z moves to club A for £100m; has £2.6b been spent, or is it in fact £0? Both wrong, 26 teams of agents are £10m richer.

I think it was a "piss take". For all I know they just moved a portaloo to behind the goal for the photo.

But, god, this is why I love non-league!

(and why non-league refs are such a pita)

Gary Lineker, famously never even booked throughout his entire professional career, can count himself lucky to still be on the pitch after taking a shit vs Cameroon (Italia 90)

Arsenal have a 15 year old, Ethan Nwaneri, on their subs bench today v Brentford. Arsenal are 3-0 up, it's the proverbial 'men against boys', and some wag has just commented Arsenal should stick Nwaneri on to even things up a little.

Edit - He came on as well, 90th minute. Premier League's youngest ever player.

happened to notice this result in the highland league this evening

Strathspey Thistle 0 - 11 Brora Rangers

Strathspey Thistle are currently bottom of the league. Played 11, won 0, drawn 2, lost 9. Goals for 8, goals against 55 (goal difference -47), points 2

looks like a long, hard season ahead...

Reading's shirts this season have the climate stripes on the sleeves.

Greenwashing, but it's my team's greenwashing.

Pique's career is over​

It looks as if Gerard Pique's career is over.
The Barcelona legend was on the bench tonight at Osasuna in his final game before retirement.
And he's been sent off at half-time for cursing at the referee.
That's his ninth and final La Liga red card.

i can't really feel that way about them.

when i was at primary school in the 70s / start of the 80s, most of the kids who followed football were 'liverpool' - a few arsenal and spurs (this in SE London - ) think there was one who was millwall through family, can't remember anyone else charlton
