Wales sinking below the waves

Poor old Wales eh - what was it - one shot on goal in the whole 90 minutes, but hell, at least they were plucky - reverting to type - never mind the quality, feel the pluck! I guess Mark Hughes is getting out at the right time. Still, at least they've got their rugby!

And on to more important matters - where in Germany do we want to be based for the World Cup? I'm thinking Dusseldorf might be nice, or possibly somewhere like Strasbourg, which has the advantage of being very near to Germany, but not actually in Germany - France is so much more civilised.

Steve Earle touring in November - hurrah

Joe Kinnear searching for new strikers. In Norway and Denmark. Hmn. The word workmanlike comes to mind. Or is that three words?
