Nice picks and worth every penny and a deal more, My personal favourite...
 

Lost all composure in the record shop yesterday. The Velvet Underground record was a second-hand bargain at $20 (£11.50) though.

What a start to this tournament. International tournament football is the absolute best. Feels like a throwback to the good old days.

Perhaps, though Toney may come good in a shoot out.
Solanke is a good player but it's hard to argue that he'd be anything other than a significant step down from Kane if he were to become our number 9.
The Branthwaite decision is baffling.

Agree, but we need to find a long-term Kane replacement. His body has taken an absolute beating. I'm sure he'll still be great in two years, but not much longer after that surely.

Steven Caldwell and Kevin Kilbane in the studio. Dear god.

I once played 5 a side at Willows after all day bank holiday Sadlergate Monday drinking. As did the bulk of the players from both our team and the opposition. One of my workmates was watching (his son was playing for the opposition) and said it was the most hilarious games of football he had ever seen. Every single player seemed to think they were Maradonna apparently.
Anyway. Scotland are absolute shyite.

Germany could have pulled me out of the Brunswick and put me in goal 4 hours after we'd beaten Carlisle at home and it would still be Scotland nil.

There are pros and cons. I agree that it's far too easy to destroy people for historical likes and posts that may no longer reflect that person's thinking. However, it's absolutely in the public interest to see what politicians are publicly liking. If someone running for office likes several posts along the lines of, say, "Hitler was right", it's the electorate's right to know that IMO. It's not like it's a private message.
Whether or not that specific example justifies the whole thing I don't know. 
 

Whatsa matter you, godda no respect, why you look so sad. Go ahead punk maka my day.

@Day we need a St George reaction for the Euros.

Wharton is a very progressive passer too. I've not seen that much of him, but from what I've seen I'd be willing to bet he's an England mainstay from the next World Cup onwards.

The back four are my concern. Folk have made a lot of a disappointing showing against Iceland, but I hate these friendlies immediately before a big tournament. The Icelanders were putting themselves about a bit considering it was meant to be a friendly, and that's understandable, but our lads looked like they were just trying to avoid getting crocked, or make the kind of catastrophic error that might see them slip from contention. We'll be a different beast in a meaningful game, I'm sure. As it is,  I've laid England at every major tournament for years now to offset the inevitable disappointment, but I won't be doing so this time around.

International tournament football is genuinely one of humanity's best inventions. So good, particularly if you're from a country that's in with a chance.
I feel less confident than I did before the last Euros and World Cup. A few too many little things like injuries, squad selection doubts, inexperience, lack of balance, etc, are playing on my mind to be uber confident. But we've still got a great chance.
Win well on Sunday and the excitement will be through the roof.
