[Can't be letting the public actually decide!]

Clearly the Croatian song was by far the best one there, as was reflected by the public vote. However, the juries decided otherwise, so really it's all about pushing an agenda. Just a confirmation of what was probably always the case. Or certainly recently. Can't be letting the public actually decide!

The public wants what the public gets...

Disappointing result, beaten by a very good team.  We would have needed nearly 90% conversion to stay in touch, and far better on our own kickouts. 
As the game went on, Tyrone were deadly clinical on the breaks, and we were getting caught between two stools between trying to push up, and then leaving acres of space for Tyrone to send in ball.
Fair play to Tyrone,  some fine players.  Best of luck in the final.

Saddened to see this.  In school days, we all had a 'second' team, and Wimbledon were my 2nd outfit.  Used to be fascinated by how a seemingly level-headed and nice guy could be overseeing the crazy gang.
Recall reading in some soccer mag at the time after something outrageous Vinnie Jones was after saying or doing that Joe's take was 'He's a nice guy, Vinnie- just doesn't have the brains of a flea!'
RIP Joe.

Congratulations!!
I live in renewed hope!!😅

Jesus.  I've had a day where, for different reasons,  I had no glance at X/ Twitter, and heard no news.  Just spent the last half hour reading back over about 10 pages here.  A classic 'Did I miss anything?' episode for me...

It will be interesting to see what happens.  A lot depends on what's happening with clubs around them.  There could be a seamless enough transition because there are a lot of talented young lads there, but some big names in big positions to be replaced.  If United, Arsenal aren't progressing fast enough,  then Liverpool will get away with more leeway.
If Arsenal can establish themselves as the prime contender against City, and I'm hoping that Utd can improve in the next couple of seasons,  then that would really up the pressure on Liverpool to keep the consistency they have shown, and there could be potential to fall back.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich probably the only 2 clubs due to relative scale within their own leagues that would be insulated against a significant longterm falling away.  I think City post Guardiola could possibly go into a severe tailspin, especially if there was anything to come out of FFP or the likes.

Class tune, they have some brilliant songs, very underrated.

One hit wonder, could never get why it wasn't bigger.  Really clever lyrics as it tells the story (apparently) behind the Naked Cowboy in Time Square.

F*** Clifford anyway, ruined my draw prediction!
