In terms of metric tons of oil extracted the figure I saw was that their American production is over 4x their entire European production.

The vast majority of BP's profits come from overseas extraction. Nothing to do with domestic energy bills or domestic FF production.

Absolutely incredible from the Salerno fans and what an achievement considering where they were in the table a few months ago.

Havel was instrumental in the Velvet revolution and the direct successor party of the one he founded has been the most successful electorally in the new Czech state so I'm not really sure what you are referring to there. Similar situations with Poland, Croatia and Slovenia. Now you could say it is a very different situation as we aren't going to be a post-communist state. But it is a pattern that exists.

Don't think it's much of a stretch at all. It's very common for the party that achieves independence to be rewarded with power for a decent while after.

Lewis Ferguson was in attendance and supporting us on the night.

There really isn't much of a reason to believe that independent government would mean any improvement if you don't trust the SNP. Ultimately what it would just mean is that the SNP would be in power for 5-10 years with less money to actually govern with.

Out of the players most likely to leave due to contract situations (Morelos, Kent and Aribo) it goes a bit like this in terms of the priority of who must be kept: 1 - Kent 2 - Morelos 3 - Aribo In fact I'd be actively looking to sell Aribo. If any of them don't re-sign then they must be sold anyway. We can't let another Goldson situation happen imo.

The Moldovans genuinely don't want Transnistria back is the thing. One of the most bizarre places in Europe and just ridiculously underdeveloped.

James Tavernier by a distance.

I'm feeling it. In the air!

How are Jambos thinking about that line up? Seems like a strong line up in defence to me but could be that they might be a bit knackered or not ready to start...

Hopefully an enjoyable first game for the lad. Enjoy!

I think we will see a bit of rotation from Wednesday that could make a fair bit of difference. I'd like to see Lowry involved today after his strong performance at Tynecastle.

Tan is still holding up and will be added to after Tuesday. I had a great holiday and go to visit two cities I've never been to before. Ultimately it was a coin toss game. I'm not feeling as gutted now as I'd thought I'd be.

Wasn't close to the same. Our schedule back in 2008 was much more punishing. And neither did we get some respite with playing fringe and youth players in the league games. We should be expecting to win this today. Ultimately I think it depends on how the manager sets up. Surely Roofe is fit to start here.

I'm so shattered. Had to sprint out the stadium and across most of Seville to catch my bus. Then got about 3 hours sleep in a bumpy 6 hour bus back to Madrid. And now I'm working Gutting game and end to it really. So close to winning that and I think Kent should buried that chance at the end. I also don't understand why GVB didn't get Roofe on earlier. Having an actual striker who knows where to run made a difference in that last bit of ET. Ah well.

What a place. Langoustine frito, Iberian pork cheek with ratouille and Cruzcampo. Sensational

Good to see you back. I completely agree that set pieces are where we can create some real chances. All about keeping Kostic quiet. Roofe will be on the bench. I'd be very surprised if he started. Otherwise that team looks very close to what GVB might go with.

Davis became a better player when he went down to England. More of a real centre midfielder controller. His legs of 2008 combined with his brain of 2021 would be ridiculous.

Eyes on the prize

I'm getting the bus back from Seville to Madrid after the game as well. Leaves 00:45 Thursday and back at about 07:15. Then I'm working a half day

He's making a new program btw. David Simon I mean. Something to do with a rogue Baltimore cop unit that basically behaved like gangsters.

Oh yeah and a 2008 Davis is better than all our current midfielders. I wouldn't play him on the left wing though.
