We'd like them to spend every year, but it appears they're willing to spend every other year: acquired Macallister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch and Endo for £145M two summers ago; Konate, Diaz and Nunez for about that amount two years earlier. Net spend is a figure they look at closely, and it's...

Club World Cup is drawing mixed reviews. Some have enjoyed the football, some have not. Watched much of the first couple of days (yes, I added Dazn for the occasion) and was less than impressed with most of the matches. Went to the PSG/Botafogo match at the Rose Bowl last night. Just over...

My S-I-L paid more than twice the current ticket price for the PSG vs Botafogo match. Just wondered if the price drop was unique for us. I understand Miami might have trouble.

I've never seen a team like Indiana pull off the comebacks they have: 1. Round 1 vs Milwaukee, down 7 with 40 seconds left in OT, score last 8 points to win by 1. 2. Round 2 vs Cleveland, down 7 with 57 seconds left. Get the ball, miss two free throws, then again get last 8 points to win by 1...

Two days apart, two legendary, hugely influential musicians: Sly Stone and Brian Wilson. Listening/mourning Brian's passing by cuing up "Pet Sounds". 😭 Sly Stone passes away Brian Wilson's Passing

Anyone going to any of the CWC matches? Had no interest until my S-I-L got me tix to PSG v Botafogo for my early Father's Day gift. And now my fellow Pasadena Reds are planning a River Plate v Monterrey visit. Both at the Rose Bowl here.
