Eric Dier out and about in Wimbledon for the tennis the other day. His dad played professional tennis, is a tennis coach and works for a tennis company, so not surprised that he has a keen interest in the game. It's interesting to see the other sports that footballers were into, before football took over tbh. Chris Smalling practiced judo to a high level, Harry Kane was a keen cricketer, Dele Alli was into track and field)
Preseason training is in full swing across the continent, especially with the glamour friendlies coming up

Does everyone in Iceland have blue eyes or something?
I know someone who THIRSTS for this lad, Kingsley Coman. I... guess?
No to underarmour for their kits in the PL this year. Soton used to be with Adidas, fell out in 2014/15 and got their kits made in house (which looked amazing) and then got back with Adidas in 2015/16 to wind up their contract, before agreeing terms with Underarmour. Underarmour's contract with Tottenham Hotspur in terms of making their kits ends 2016/17 - and they are now staying in the PL with Soton.
I guess the swoop echoes Virgin's swoop
Arsenal's new player. Takuma Asano
Jose Mourinho: Manchester United
Guess who's back/back again/ guess who's back/ tell a friend...
So. Mou. He had a lot of interesting things to say in the press conference.
Mou looked tanned, rested, lean, hungry, and sombre. He's not 'the special one' or 'the happy one'. He's here to win trophies, and slay. Talk about speaking things into being, and working towards an ambition, since Mourinho has always wanted the Manchester United job
Like everyone with sense, he doesn't see Wayne Rooney as a midfielder (finally!). There's an acceptance by the supporters (the ones I know anyway) that Rooney's best days are behind him, and if anyone can sunset Rooney's career it will be Mourinho. For the sake of the NT, I hope that happens, tbh
Sir Alex told Mourinho to get an umbrella and bring a bottle of wine, because they'll be having a knees up.

For real?
No judgement!
LOL, Wales is like the new hipster team.
OP: done. My eczema is killing me (the sun honestly doesn't help, although I'm happy for it). Cheers, jeers, commentary pushback and the rest, you know the drill. I'm out
