Was it not Ekoku who on co comms on one of our games after the restart claimed Nick Pope was ‘pretty special between the sheets’?

Why do the 4% get all the jobs on the TV and radio these days?

Who? And Who?
The league's newest club Sutton united's most famous ex-player. I saw him score a fine hattrick at Penydarren Park a few decades back. Merthyr had a pretty decent back four in those days and Gary wager was probably the second best goalkeeper in non-league, but he pulled them to pieces almost single-handedly.

He was waffling about Greene King pubs today pre Euro with their CEO and saying what a great place to watch a game, atmosphere, fans etc. I take it he never goes into a pub being a recovering alcoholic and is unaware of current procedures? How about seated at spaced Tables, no standing up, no singing and shouting, masks on and off depending what you are doing, ordering via the App, no going to the bar. Apart from that it should be brilliant :D

Possibly making up for the 30+ years of getting far less than 4% of the jobs?

McDonald famously accounted for 76% of all newsreaders jobs in the 90’s.

I’ve read they are forcing fans to wear extra tight face masks.
