Does Maldives have a team?

 

Why, thinking of applying to be their manager?

 

Actually looked them up and the Maldives is currently ranked 155 in the world

 

Excellent then I will happily be head coach for Maldives. I'll need a coaching team of course. I'll take:
@Robbie BB and his laptop in charge of XG and sport science.
I'll need @RiverEndRick along to pitch elaborate line-ups beyond my go to 442.
@1950canary can manage the budget.
@ngandy cocktails?
Anyone else is welcome, though you must explain your value like the above.

We'll get Maldives up to 154th in no time.

 

My value is my unequalled ability to sip mojitos under a beach umbrella. If ngandy is making them, you need someone to drink them. Do I qualify?

 

Welcome aboard "Hydration & Recovery Specialist".

 

My name is GozoCanary and I am an alcoholic ...

 

Still, Gozo is a lovely place, even without the alcohol. I miss the old buses though.

 

I'll work on some new formations then Hairy. Look forward to Gandy's cocktails and Irish coffee for breakfast.

 

I'll be in charge of scouting. (I'm going to mostly focus on finding and watching colourful fish)

 

Coach Jose Mourinho was sent off as his Roma side finished Saturday's friendly away to Real Betis with only eight men.

The hosts went 3-2 up on 57 minutes but Roma's players argued that Alex Moreno had handled the ball over the line.

Midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini received a second yellow card, while Mourinho was also sent off for protesting.

No change there then

 

Yes, the particulates from one of those buses could wipe out an entire village.

 

I know it had to be, but I still miss them.

 

Thompson signs for Pompey

That's nice news. So much promise cruelly thwarted by injuries. His brother Nathan played for Pompey. Danny Cowley hopes they can help him onto a better physical level and more playing time with it. Fingers crossed for him.

 

Well there's something I never thought I'd see in a million years...

 

Well, it was against Sutton Utd.

 

Ipswich 0-1 Newport in the Carabao cup, so no chance of a derby game in 2021.

 

Excellent! Although Pellegrini is married to my cousin.

 

Another great start from our friends down the A140
