I was once in a motorway services on the way back from Liverpool after a midweek game. The team coach arrived and Robbo burst in shouting, “Where’s the cigarette machine?” Different times indeed.

Yep that's how I saw it - the ball was just a fraction too high for it to have been the easy tap in that the pundits thought, and so his foot was always under it.

That's amazing! Hopefully Ryan himself will be informed, he'll love that.

My rusty Italian (ie IMGL Translate not Google Translate) has that saying, “In the middle of the field, Ryan Yates at the first seasonal seal [that’s seal as in what you, er, seal something with, not the marine mammal…] with the surprising Nottingham Forest, who came out victorious from the Leicester transfer”.
We’ve all been surprised by Forest many a time, of course, so I get that bit, but could one of our Italy-based correspondents confirm that ‘trasferta’ might mean ‘away game’, please? Otherwise I’m puzzled. And if anyone can make sense of the ‘seasonal seal’ bit, so much the better…

Google translate comes up with this:
In the middle of the field, Ryan Yates with his first goal of the season with the surprising Nottingham Forest, who emerged victorious from the away match in Leicester

Thanks. I need to remind myself that Google Translate is much better than when it first came out… So ‘sigillo’ here is goal - I should’ve guessed that. At least I got ‘away match’ right… In my defence, m’lud, my effort was largely based on an O level I got in 1981…

I think it is just team of the week over the big five leagues. It is still an amazing achievement to be in among the likes of van Dijk and Lewandowski though.
Bayern Monaco?
Have they moved, or something? I hope so.

It was a scuffed ball across by Murillo, they are hard to hit with any control. Probably 60/70% of the time he makes contact that puts it in, same as dom in the first half.

I honestly thought this was a Photoshop when I first saw it, until I spotted his name in the text. Brilliant.
Yes, trasferta is just the Italian way of saying away game or away trip. In casa would be the equivalent for home game.
Monaco is the Italian translation of Munich for some reason. They also call Monaco Monaco as well though which makes little sense.

Hooky played that at Rock City last week - an unexpected but welcome surprise.

That is quite interesting, particularly as the etymology of the Names are quite different:
Monaco coming from the ancient Greek words 'Monos' and 'Oikos' - meaning 'Single' and 'House' respectively.
Whilst Munich comes from the name of an 8th century friar settlement 'zu den Munichen' ("To the Monks")
It’s like Germans call Milano, „Mailand“, which I’ve never understood because that doesn’t even make sense in German?

Dublin means Blackpool in Irish Gaelic

The name of the city in Gaelic is Baile Átha Cliath, which means „the place of the hurdled ford“ as the settlement was named for a crossing of the River Liffey on what today is the northern side of the city.
Dubh in Galelic is „black“ or „dark“, and Linn does indeed mean „pool“ in Gaelic, and the name was commonly concatenated together in the local patois, originally as „Dubhlinn“.
