European Action interlude

Well, the dreaded international break has been upon us, and whilst there was a full programme of Totally Skill fixtures, Ronan and Penny also managed to get in some Pineapple Cup action. Sadly, Ronan was what can only be described as tonked as Penny sailed to a comprehensive 21-9 victory. If only she can reproduce this form in the league, she could well recover her standings there.

In other news, despite the presence on the same pitch at the same time as each other of the two men with the greatest disparity between their opinions of themselves and their actual ability (yes, I mean you, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Niklas Bendtner), the predicted collapse of space and time as we know it did not occur. However, that Sweden not only let the boy Bendtner score against them, but are also still fielding Olaf Mjellberg (53), suggests they truely are a nation on the wane.
Penny's insistence that Portugal are in similar straits was backed up by a 0-0 draw in Bosnia.
