      Football virtually omnipresent now....it's like Japanese knotweed.. spreading rapidly out of control.

      Ahh..bit of a horticulturist are we..I had creeping buttercup infestation on my front lawn. Almost impossible to kill. Almost need glyphosate 100%. So I hired a turf lifter, dug the whole lot up, further treatment. 6 jumbo bags of top soil with a decent fertilizer and then turfed it. Looks brilliant now.

      Knotweed...never dies.

      Creeping buttercup. They put out suckers that go to earth and spread all over within one or two summers. Grass gets starved and suffocated. Invasive weed. Takes all the nutrients out of the soil and looks terrible. The 'buttercup' name sometimes gets it a bit of sympathy..

      Lineker has also stepped down from Sports Personality Of The Year.

      Hardly surprising but there you go.

      I know he plays up a little to the carmudgen character at times but I begrudgingly have a bit of time for Keane.

      I like how he just says it as it is and doesn’t sugar coat anything, however, sometimes he steps over the line like that and obviously doesn’t give it a seconds thought about camera’s still active or indeed Mic’s, he may not have spat at anyone but he may as well have after offering that fella a tĂȘte a tĂȘte in the car park !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

      When MOTD are getting irritating youtuber no marks introducing their matches (in this case that awful Manc tuber Adam McKola introducing Ipswich v Man Utd) then it doesn't bode well with whoever they have lined up as Lineker's replacement. What's worse is that they can barely read an autocue and what aims for MLK level rhetoric ends up being about as inspiring as Joe Pasquale playing Buttons in this year's panto.

      The BBC Sport producers now think so reductively that apparently to stay relevant and ahead of the game is to start producing content for young male, back bedroom casualties to point at a screen and dribble their guts out the moment they see the next talentless Insta/youtube/ tiktok loser on tv.

      Des Lynam is already spinning and he isn't even dead yet.

      Was a must watch back in the day, still has a bit of street cred and still has a dab of kudos but yer just know BBC are going to screw it up. I'll bet Shearer is looking over his shoulder.

      Very odd watching the post match reaction there with Keane taking the role of what I would presume a sensible Liverpool fan would say about Salah's contact situation and Carragher doubling down on his comments from earlier in the week.

      Think Salah and Van Dijk's comments at the end of their interview told you all you need to know about what the squad think of Carragher.

      Someone needs to remind these “experts” who keep saying that injuries to Salah or Van Dijk will derail us that when Mo has been at the African Nations we’ve still won every game and when Van Dijk got that horrific injury we were still very good and even went top for a short period - we fell away when we lost all four first team centre halves.

      Obviously we’re a better team with those two but we’ve had them missing in the past and dealt with it.

      Unlike some teams, we have a squad that deals with injuries.

      If you gotta watch the game with gobshites ‘commentating’ the only recourse is kill the volume!
