Ex Royals (No not prince Andrew)

Cesare Casadei is currently the top scorer in the U20 World Cup with 6 goals, and is basically certain to win the Golden Boot (nobody else with games still to play has scored more than 2). Tomorrow Italy play South Korea in the final, so there's a good chance Casadei will become world champion.

As much as we”d love that notion, he is staying in the non-league scene….wanting to spend his time with his family these days.

And there's me thinking QPR had a player called Rob Dickieog.

You're thinking of Danny Dichio.

[From Despair To Where?]

Don't remember Dichio scoring many own goals.

Steve Sidwell has been standing in for Statman Dave on the last two episodes of That Peter Crouch Podcast, worth a listen if you've never heard him Rapping. Could carry a podcast himself, mentioned Reading a few times.

He's been unbelievably good in that competition ... incredible to believe that PInce was reluctant to play him at first. Reminds me a bit of when we signed Carrico and hardly played him and he went on to captain I think Sevilla and win the Europa League with them ...

Try for another loan spell maybe, unlikely to come off now of course but if you don't ask....

To be fair, he played in a poor team incapable of moving the ball up the pitch and providing him the ball in dangerous areas. He was always going to struggle in such a poor team. You could have stuck Haaland up front for us last year and he'd have probably got 10 goals from corners and penalties.

Casadei ended up winning the tournament and finishing as top scorer with seven goals.

Lewis Baker top-scored from midfield in the 2016 Toulon Tournament, which means that we have now twice signed a deep-lying midfielder on loan from Chelsea who has top-scored in and won a major international youth tournament.

Also in double-checking my stats I found out that Baker's dad Audley was a professional powerlifter. Axel and Jokull's father Andres Gudmundsson was a strongman. Weird to have had two unrelated players in quick succession whose father's job was performatively lifting heavy objects.

Have you got this weekends lottery numbers as well?

Three - Paul Ince had a MASSIVE chip on his shoulder.

Damnit. For some reason I thought Italy-South Korea was the final.

ALF joins Brian at Hibs.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Excellent, he must be looking towards assisting with management…going forward…. Even if it is for a Taig team

Bit random but... was scrolling and saw a pic of Alan Brazil with someone who at first glance I thought was Dylan Kerr.

It was actually Jim Kerr, from Simple Minds. Are they related? Can't find anything on the interwebz but the resemblance is uncanny.

In fact, he could be Alan Brazil and Jim Kerr's lovechild.

Have they ever been seen in the same room together?

[Sutekh]

Dylan might well turn out to be the only manager who'd risk taking the manager's job as things currently stand.

Jordon Obita has gone to Hibs, Will there be more ex Royals players making the long trip to Scotland? Good luck Brian, hope you do well there!
