The new WSC with Jamie Vardy on the cover

[Snake Plissken]

Et arrivee.

[Greenlander]

But what was the state of the envelope and how did the paper smell?

[Snake Plissken]

Intact and of rich mahogany.

[delicatemoth]

Is it a sexy picture of Vardy? That's what all football fans want.

[Patrick Thistle]

Well it wasn't doused in Red Bull this month but it arrived looking like this.

Edited by SP: Real name and home address showing.

brb just going to apply for a credit card

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah... I've removed the image Patrick Thistle

[Nocturnal Submission]

Well, he's not in profile, so that's a good start and he further benefits from being juxtaposed with Harry Kane and Bruno Fernandes, so with only Gerard Houllier, a Corinthian Carlos Valderrama and WSC's The People man as competition, he's looking pretty hot, for a Wilfred Bramble lookalike.

[Patrick Thistle]

Yeah... I've removed the image Patrick Thistle

Cripes what a lapse. Thanks Snake

[Patrick Thistle]

It looked like this

Free elastic band - why are you complaining?

[longeared]

Delightful fragrance of Eau de Paninistickers to mine which was released as soon as I opened the envelope. More of this please, WSC.

[Duncan Gardner]

Free elastic band - why are you complaining?

His family and colleagues just couldn't understand/ Why he gave them up for music?

[Patrick Thistle]

God, two articles about Lincoln. Excessive.

[elguapo4]

This is the first post Brexit issue, so I'm interested as to when it arrives in the shops in Dublin.

[RobW]

God, two articles about Lincoln. Excessive.

Oi!

[imp]

When I take power every football magazine in the country will be obligated by law to carry two articles about Lincoln, at the very least. And there will be no free elastic bands for stroppy Salopians.

[Patrick Thistle]

Giving Emperor Palpatine a run for his money with threats like that.

[Capybara]

Mine hasn't arrived yet, obvs.

Really enjoyed the Lincoln pieces. When you're emeshed in the game's doom and gloom, it's important to read about clubs that are actually doing it right.

And there's some seriously sexy lower-league ground photography in this issue. Some of those Cowdenbeath pics …

[Greenlander]

Is that Worcestershire's Phil Neale sitting in the middle in that Lincoln team picture. If it is, he had some career for them as I'm sure he played against us in 1984 and maybe the following season too. We didn't go to Argyle every week when I was young, but my cricket mad dad always took me to the games against them.

Also part of one of my favourite Argyle oddities, where Terry Austin and him scored all the goals in a 2-2 draw, one for their team and one for the other.

Very good, DG.

Concerning the magazine, plenty of good stuff in there as usual. Very interesting piece highlighting Valencia's ongoing, and increasingly worrying problems.

[Felicity, I guess so]

I was very pleased to see that the photomontage accompanying Harry Pearson's piece about Marca has a front page of said paper proclaiming Aupa Atleti!!

edit: it won't do upside down !!

Cheers TC. Been looking forward to this issue, as I'm finding MSM coverage of the game to be very rum at the moment. When I watch or listen to coverage from back home, I don't usually expect the most sober analysis of how elite sport should react to come from Irish League managers...
