When exactly did the hand clasp/slap take over from the good old hand-shake?
Well, they've already got the bare legs, so could it be a "new" secret Masonic hand-shake?

Match of the Day 2 is on for 1 hour 10 minutes. It's full of talk but then in the "Highlights" they include a minutes silence.
Ex-Wimbledon striker, Carlton Fairweather, has died of pancreatic cancer, aged 63.
Anyone watch the Villa-PSG match yesterday? Quite a game, and although we couldn't quite make up the differential, we beat a world-class team and showed that we can stand toe-to-toe with anyone when we're firing on all cylinders. Unai Emery has been a godsend. I hope Villa can squeeze their way into the Champions League next year.
Looking at today's football fixtures (I'm sure they used to play Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Monday) I see that in the Welsh Premier League there is a relegation round featuring 6 teams. Does the team who wins this get relegated?
Sort of ironic with Roger Osborne in the stand at Portman Road, and wonder what was going through his head as he remembered his goal in the FA Cup against Arsenal back in 1978, as he watched his team taken apart with the 0 -4 thrashing this afternoon.

Same 3 going down who came up. Terrible what's happening to the game in so many ways.

Eni Aluko is unbelievable. She, along with many women footballers, has been a pundit for men's football and complains that a man, Ian Wright, shouldn't be allowed to be a pundit on women's football. What a hypocrite!
If anything the fact that a man is actually clued up on women's football raises the interest level.
Reminds me of when the 'Boy' Scout movement were forced to let girls join. You'd expect Girl Guides to follow suit and admit boys, but No, they weren't having any of it.

If the Wrexham Charlton Match stays as it is
then its three promotions in a row for Wrexham

I remember when they reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup (having qualified through winning the Welsh Cup).
NIce
Although for Wales it looks like it's a swap with Cardiff being relegated
And also the mighty Leyton Orient don't get the credit for making Wrexhams promotion possible ( Many fingers crossed they make the play offs next week)
But the good thing for me, is that my Neice works at QPR and had been promised a VIP table for her family for QPR Wrexham if they got promoted
Hopefully her employers won't renege on that one. So I'm looking forward to that
And if Ryan Reynolds or Rob Mcilhenny fancy a selfie with me, then they wil have to ask nicely.

Well, if it were me, I'd have to hope they were wearing their name badges otherwise I wouldn't have the faintest idea what they looked like.
