I think you might be right!

The awkward thing is now someone out there has to win the second FIFA Peace Prize.

Oh yeah I agree - certainly a choice presentation on the facts.

I suppose β€˜technically’ they did turn down offers, too?

This is exciting. But i would really miss that hour of discussion in the run-up to kick off as you walk to the stadium just after the line up comes out.

A screenshot of a story on the BBC Sport website about Wolves hiring Rob Edwards. It's been categorised as being Championship content.

BBC are getting a bit ahead of themselves with this story categorisation.

Cannot wait for Norwich City fans to shout β€œSHOOT” every time Kenny McLean gets the ball this weekend at Birmingham.

And he's bound to repeat things when doing four interviews in which he'll be asked the same questions each time. It would be weird if he concocted some whole new answer each time.

I agree. He explained things well and took responsibility. You can have the opinion he should be sacked – fine. But I don't think he could have handled these interviews much better and all we can do now is get behind the new set-up.

I know there’s a lot of fuss atm about deforestation, but I’ve just been to the Amazon and it’s literally filled with trees.

Yes I basically said that, but in a nicer way haha.

It is also a good example of how little people here know about Europe. One person thought Putin was the leader of Germany.

And tbf, why should they care? Most people in Europe think Suriname is in Africa.

It’s not the first time I’ve heard something like that. It’s either crap like that or how dangerous London is.

London has a PR problem. All the shit on social media, Elon, Trump and Farage, are having a sad impact.

We got chatting about London one day and he said β€œah it’s a shame London has become such a horrible place”. I said β€œwhat, how?”

β€œYour mayor! You’ll have shariah law in a year, I’m telling you”.

He’d never visited London and lived on the other side of the world with a dodgy internet connection.

I’ve spent the past week in a remote part of the Amazon rainforest in Suriname. The bloke that ran the place we were staying is about 60, Surinamese, warm and friendly, and lives in this remote part of the jungle.

Loved him at NCFC. But he’s proven himself a bit of a prick as a manager. Would find it hard to root for him.

I just thought of the nearest prison I could, haha. Maybe a bit of a stretch if i claim it was a joke though!
