It’s Lux ….. haven’t seen him in a while, but …..

[Pepe the Horseman]

Or me, thinking about it.

How long have you been living in France now, LUX?

[LUX]

the clue is in the name.

I have lived in an apartment Luxembourg for 32 years (with a house across the border in France for weekends).

Reims unbeaten in 12 under 30yo Englishman Will Still. They also get fined £22k a game because he doesn't have his coaching licence.

How is his English accent so strong?!

Born and grew up in Belgium to English parents but lived in England for a lot of his teenage years.

I was told the other day that whatever country you go through pubity in, you're likely to be stuck with that accent. So we've pencilled in a move back to the UK as soon as Pepe Jr gets his first pube.

Danny Loader playing for Porto in the Champions League tonight

Hadn't noticed how much he was playing these days. 25 first team appearances this season so far

Most as sub - 14 league apps totalling 350 mins but he is slowly breaking into the first team there, so fair play to him. Yet another example of stupid management of the club letting his contract run out and not taking the money from Wolves.

Lee Erwin from Scotland currently leading goalscorer in the Lebanese Premier League

What's the story here? Move to Lebanon with his parents when he was younger? Or just a random transfer? I know I could Google, but I want YOU to tell me.

Bit of a journeyman who likes to wander. Played a fair few times in the SPL, had a stint at Leeds in the Champ and a short spell in Iran, but then went to Finland, scored 20 in 28, was named player of the season for his club and also won the Finnish Premier Divisions player of the season award.

Was then offered a 'life changing amount' if he joined Al Ahed in Lebanon, who are big spenders and looking to achieve success in the AFC Cup (Asian Europa League)

Fun fact - Al Ahed are the unofficial football club of Hezbollah

I wonder if they sell Hezbollah/Israel half and half scarves outside the stadium

[South Coast Royal]

He worked at Chelsea under Tuchel thus now being assistant at Bayern Munich.

19 year old Mohamed-Ali Cho has been one of Real Sociedad's stand out players this season. From Staines, came through Everton's youth team and played for England under 16's. Moved to France at 16 to join Anger and then 18 months ago got a €15M move to Spain

Has opted to play for France under 21's but not played full senior side for any nation

Great work by the French side to turn him into a €15m player. Good Anger management.
