THEONEANDONLYTOMMYMERLYN:

“YET ANOTHER ONE OF MY QUALITIES I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER,” HE JOKED BACK WITH A SMILE.

STILL KEEPING HIS FINGERS INTERLOCKED WITH HERS, THEY HEADED OUT OF THE APARTMENT. TOMMY ALREADY KNEW HOW LUCKY HE WAS TO BE WITH HER AND IT WAS MOMENTS LIKE THESE THAT MADE HIM REALIZE IT EVEN MORE.

“SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. DELICIOUS FOOD IS DEFINITELY A REASON TO GO.”

"I’M SURE IT IS.” SHE ATTEMPTED A FROWN TO BE SERIOUS, BUT IT SOON GAVE OUT TO A LIGHT LAUGH. “ALONG WITH MANY MORE GREAT QUALITIES.”

AS SHE WALKED OUT OF THE APARTMENT WITH TOMMY, HAND IN HAND, SHE NODS AT HIS NEXT WORDS.

"YES—IT’S VERY MUCH AN EXCELLENT REASON, I SAY.  AND CHINESE IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE TYPES OF FOOD. WHAT ABOUT YOU?"

Have ‘morally reprehensible’ Italy peaked too early?

Get your views on Italy and much more in to theeditor@football365.com… Italy v Belgium I enjoyed both games of football last night but in particularly the Italy v Belgium game with so much attacking intent on both sides. What I do not understand is how Italy get away with so much, I guess I would call it cheating. It gets called gamesmanship or the dark arts but it amounts to the same thing. It was highlighted perfectly by the BBC commentators at half time and full time in relation to Immobile where, as ex-pros, they were all laughing and joking about his antics. Would this be the reaction if the game was against England? I suspect not. Many years ago, John Nicholson wrote an excellent article about a mate of his (probably a bass player or a drummer) who got away with things because of who he was and John likened this to Italian Football and the then Italian president Berlusconi. By John’s reasoning, Italy and their president got away with things that other countries/presidents couldn’t because it was expected of them. This still seems to be the case and they have almost become a parody of themselves. I have no affiliation with Spain but I do hope that they get past this highly skilful but morally reprehensible Italian team. Gwarrior (LCFC) Italy peaking Anything can happen in the semi against Spain, and I’m sure the best team will win, but is there anybody out there who still thinks Italy peaked too early? Dario (gutted for Spinazzola, he’s been immense) Club team Italy play like a really well drilled club team despite playing a very different game to the Italy I’ve always known (apart from excellent game management/dark arts). How does an international team do that? Aidan, Lfc (Based on my 1 game experience of watching Doku, and limited football knowledge, I confidently suggest Liverpool should sign him) Quick Euro thoughts… – Spain’s Pedri is an absolute talent, could easily see him becoming the talisman of Barcelona once Lionel Messi does leave – Switzerland did themselves proud and a few of their team put themselves forward for a potential summer move, Yan Sommer anyone? – Italy could just win this whole thing, really impressive blend of old style Italy and new style – Ciro Immobile with the finest acting since Luis Suarez against Norwich – Is Roberto Martinez actually a good manager because I just can’t tell – Jeremy Doku is going to be yet another player Rennes make an insane profit on in a short space of time Mikey, CFC Chip on England’s shoulder… I used to wonder why so many people dislike England during International tournaments. I now understand because I’ve joined the queue. It’s so frustrating and annoying to hear the English media seemingly proclaim England the best team in the world because of one victory…ONE VICTORY…against a team you all claimed were no longer the force they use to be. Suddenly, every other team has a deficit and only England is going from strength to strength… Really?…REALLY!!! The worst thing is you have been playing the worst football this tournament has seen(Yes it’s the worst. If you have the best attack in the tournament like you claim, you shouldn’t be parking your team’s aeroplane on the pitch). Nelson (I can’t wait for Ukraine to give you guys a thorough trashing so things can go back to normal.) Lagos. KDB When the pressure is on in the biggest games, the great players stand up and make a difference. Not for the first time, Kevin De Bruyne was nowhere to be seen when playing on the big stage. Jamie, Eire

Dropping Sterling… First off, let me begin by saying I am not a fan of Raheem Sterling. He wouldn’t be on my fantasy team and I can’t understand why Southgate likes him so much. However, he is the leading goal scorer for England in the tournament and seems to be on a hot patch. How does dropping him make any sense? What other team would drop their leading goal scorer going into an important game? I would drop Kane, who let’s be honest has been woeful. Was not his goal also a tap-in? Yet the bias media celebrated the goal like it was some magical work of art. For Spurs yes he is magic, for England he has been below par. This same media is debating whether to start Grealish, he is England’s best player. He changed the last game as soon as he came on. I do think England will have enough for Ukraine, but Denmark will be a tough battle and could be the end of the road for England. Christian Gooner – Toronto Sterling right of reply… Enjoyed the replies to my Sterling email, less so the comments baselessly calling me part of the ‘Brexit/boo the knee crew’ and suggesting my analysis of some relative weaknesses of a footballer is based on ‘hatred’ – inaccurate, weird and offensive, ‘Luxongo’ et al. Sterling is a very impressive man on and off the pitch and has suffered deplorable abuse of all kinds – but it doesn’t make him (or anyone else) above fair criticism of his standard of play, nor does it mean anyone criticising his play should be associated with that abuse. Still, it’s useful to know how people must feel when they are ‘no-platformed’. Anyway – some perfectly reasonable opposing opinions (and it’s ok to disagree – I think?), but I have to take issue with Rob saying ‘ You simply cannot choose “whatabouts” over “reality”’. It seems he’s essentially saying that if you win, no one should ask: ‘what if we changed this, would we be better?’. A main point of my email was that if you rest on your laurels and don’t go through that exercise, eventually you are likely to come unstuck, just as we did in 2018. If you go through it and the answer is ‘no, we’d be no better’ then fine, but don’t stick your fingers in your ears and sing la-la-la at the process. I like John G’s comparison to Linker and Greaves because Sterling has obviously done well to be in a position to score his goals. There’s plenty of merit in that view if the idea is that Sterling and Kane are an old fashioned front two with Sterling as the poacher, but is that really the way people think we’re playing and the main role people expect Sterling to play? The other problem is that in 1990 Lineker played in an XI with Beardsley, Waddle, Platt and Gascoigne. Not quite the seven defensive players we deployed in the last 16. If it wasn’t already a long email, I would have said yesterday that I’m more (but not completely) in favour of playing Sterling if we revert to an attacking four for the rest of the tournament, but in a 5-2-3 there is pressure on Sterling to create and, as Derek points out, we create a ‘paucity’ of chances with him as one of our attackers, with a number of promising scenarios breaking down as a result of his decision making and/or poor touch (something that’s pretty hard to prove or disprove with stats). Anyway, assuming Southgate persists with Sterling, obviously I hope I am proved wrong – it’s just that there’s a difference between what I hope and what I think. Shappo The real ambition in the tournament With the hands of time ticking inevitably towards another great sadly leaving the game, it’s clear that one man at the Euros is seizing the world stage to show that he’s ready to take over. In a match filled with stars, only one has stepped up to make it about them. No hesitation, confidence in spades – he’s stolen the show. Michael Oliver is clearly the next Mike Dean. Ryan, Bermuda (a normal human being would err on the side of a yellow and go to VAR, but never Oliver or the great Deano. Own those game-ruining mistakes I say!) Time for a Sin Bin? Football is an evolving sport. VAR is becoming less intrusive as we get used to it. But for me it is the acceptance of constant fouls that now needs addressed. Trips, pushes, niggles that stop the game and often stop real attacking opportunities, but are not bookable until about ten have been let go. So time for a 10 minute sin bin. A punishment that will impact on the game, give the perps a real disadvantage, and stop them doing it. The evidence is there from rugby. The ref warns then bins. It would make football a better game. Tim Haaland dreams… Imagine this: Haaland stays put in Dortmund this season.  His goals output next season drops with Sancho’s departure. (Haaland’s father reportedly went “F**k…” upon hearing confirmation of Sancho’s transfer to Man U”.) Man U goes on a deeper run in CL say semi-finals… What are chances Haaland joins Man U next summer -to re-unite with the man that assisted the most for his goals, and with the man who coached him in the youth ranks?  Many ifs, but one can dream… Lionel, Singapore Salzburg is in Germany? Hi there, I’m not taking issue with Lee’s general point about the BuLi being a less physical league , but Takumi Minamino signed for Liverpool from Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg. Austria hasn’t been a part of Germany since, well, some unpleasantness that is rarely discussed in the British tabloids, and certainly hasn’t been mentioned at all recently… Dara O’Reilly, London Souey Anyone who doesn’t have a man crush on Graeme Souness is made of stone.

ATERCANARIAM: 

"THOUGHT I’D COME BY AND SURPRISE YOU."

SARA DIDN’T KNOW HOW LONG SHE HAD BUT SHE WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT WHILE SHE COULD. WHO KNOWS WHEN SHE WOULD GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO GO BACK HOME. THINGS WERE SLOWLY BECOMING GOOD BETWEEN HER AND LAUREL, IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO WASTE A CHANCE TO SEE HER.

SARA STEPS INTO LAUREL’S APARTMENT AND REMOVES HER JACKET.

"SO SIS WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO? BUT ANY BIG BAD GUYS AWAY LATELY?"

"WELL, YOU HAVE CERTAINLY SURPRISED ME. IN A GOOD WAY."

LAUREL KNEW HOW DEMANDING AND UNRELENTING THE JOB OF BEING IN THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS COULD BE, FROM WHAT SHE’D GLEANED FROM SEEING THE WEIGHT OF RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING IN IT, FROM SARA AND NYSSA.

"OH, I WAS JUST WATCHING CRIMINAL MINDS—” SHE INDICATED TO THE TV, WHICH WAS STILL AIRING THE EPISODE.  ”AND, YES, YES, I HAVE. PUT A BAD GUY AWAY A FEW DAYS AGO, ACTUALLY.”

"AND WHAT ABOUT YOU? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"

CONCERN COLOURS HER VOICE.

[melodicwitchlight]

GENERATIIVE:

          ❝ SAW YOU ON TV. THROWING THAT GUY WHERE HE                 BELONGED? THAT DESERVES AN APPLAUSE. ❞

❝ WELL, I WAS ONLY DOING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT. BUT THANK YOU. HE WAS A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL. ❞

NEVERTHELESS, A BROAD SMILE FORMS ACROSS LAUREL’S FACE. ALL HER RESEARCH ON JERMAINE FISHER HAD PAID OFF, IN WHICH SHE THEN TRACKED HIM DOWN, WEARING THE GUISE OF THE CANARY. AND ALSO THEN KNOCKED OUT.

HE HAD RACKED UP FORTY-ONE COUNTS OF ATTEMPTED MURDER, IN WHICH SHE HAD STATED IN THE COURTROOM. AS THE FINAL FLOURISH TO SEAL HIS FATE, SHE’D SHOWED THE EVIDENCE BAG WITH THE MURDER WEAPON WHICH WAS THE DECIDING FACTOR OF THE JUDGE, TO REFUSE BAIL FOR HIM.

LAUREL WOULD NOT HAVE HIM RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC AGAIN, AND CAUSE MORE CHAOS IN STARLING CITY.

[melodicwitchlight]

xyellowbird:

SINCE SHE’D COME BACK TO STARLING, SARA HAD TRIED TO DO HER BEST TO RETURN TO THE LIFE SHE’D HAD BEFORE THE GAMBIT. IT WAS STILL A LITTLE DIFFICULT BALANCING HER REGULAR LIFE WITH HER NOCTURNAL ACTIVITIES AS THE CANARY, BUT IT WAS WORKING. SINCE SHE’D BARGAINED WITH RA’S TO OPERATE OUT OF STARLING AS HIS AGENT RATHER THAN RETURNING TO THE GILDED CAGE OF NANDA PARBAT FOLLOWING SLADE’S ATTACK – SHE HADN’T WANTED TO UPSET NYSSA ANY FURTHER THAN HER FIRST FLIGHT FROM THE LEAGUE HAD, BUT EVEN SHE’D HAD TO RELUCTANTLY AGREE THAT SHE WOULDN’T BE HAPPY IF SHE RETURNED TO TIBET – SHE’D BEEN STAYING IN ONE OF THE LEAGUE’S LESSER USED SAFE-HOUSES NEAR VERDANT WHICH SHE’D ADOPTED FOR HER OWN APARTMENT, AND WHICH HAD OFTENTIMES BECOME A CRASH-OUT SPOT FOR TEAM ARROW, RATHER THAN THE FOUNDRY.

”HEY, LAUR,” SHE SMILED, GIVING HER BIG SISTER A HUG, “I’VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD. YOU?”

LAUREL RETURNED THE HUG THAT SARA GAVE HER, ARMS INTERLOCKING ONTO SARA’S UPPER BACK, FOR A MOMENT. IT WAS A COMFORTING AND FAMILIAR GESTURE. AFTER A WHILE, SHE THEN GENTLY PULLED HERSELF AWAY.

LAUREL RECALLED HOW MUCH SHE HAD THOUGHT SHE HATED HER OWN LITTLE SISTER AT FIRST, UPON HAVING HER OWN BOYFRIEND CHEAT WITH SARA, AND THEN HER COMING BACK AS AN ASSASSIN ON THE RUN, AND ESSENTIALLY RUINING THE LIFE THAT LAUREL HAD WORKED SO HARD TO BUILD BACK TOGETHER. THERE HAD BEEN THIS BURNING, BOILING FRUSTRATION AND PENT-UP ANGER, IN WHICH SHE HAD FINALLY SNAPPED, AND RELEASED OUT ALL HER FURY TOWARDS SARA. 

…BUT IT WAS HER SISTER, YEARS OF BONDING WITH HER AND ALL THE MEMORIES THEY HAD BEFORE THEY WENT TO THE GAMBIT… DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM, LAUREL STILL LOVED SARA BEYOND WORDS. AND LAUREL HAD REALIZED THAT SARA COULDN’T HELP THE EVENTS THAT HAD UNFOLDED, WHEN SHE HAD VERY FIRST COME BACK TO STARLING CITY.

"THAT’S GOOD TO HEAR." AND NOW, SHE PAUSES, A SMALL GRIN FORMING ACROSS HER LIPS. "FIGHT ANY BAD GUYS LATELY?"

  “I’M WELL, WORKING ON A CASE.”

ATERCANARIAM:

IT HAD BEEN MONTHS SINCE SARA HAD BEEN IN STARLING. THE LEAGUE KEPT HER RATHER BUSY THOUGH SHE DIDN’T MIND ANYMORE. THINGS HAD CHANGED SINCE SARA HAD DECIDED TO GO BACK. NOW SHE ONLY KILLED WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, OLIVER HAD RUBBED OFF ON HER MORE THAN SHE WOULD CARE TO ADMIT. NYSSA ALSO ACCEPTED THIS CHANGE IN SARA WHICH MADE THINGS MUCH EASIER FOR HER.

ONE OF HER JOBS BROUGHT HER BACK RATHER CLOSE TO STARLING SO AGAINST HER BETTER JUDGEMENT SARA MADE THE QUICK TRIP OVER. SHE MISSED HER FAMILY AFTER ALL. HOPING HER SISTER IS AT HOME SARA MAKES HER WAY THERE, HER HEART BEGINS TO BEAT A LITTLE FASTER. SHE SHOULDN’T BE NERVOUS, WHY WAS SHE NERVOUS? 

SHE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR AND THEN QUICKLY SHOVES HER HANDS INTO HER POCKETS. A NERVOUS SMILE GRACES HER LIPS WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED.

                                             ”HI LAUREL.”

"SARA…"

LAUREL’S SHOW IS QUICKLY FORGOTTEN, AS SHE SEES SARA IN THE DOORWAY.

IT ALMOST FELT LIKE THE BREATH WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HER, UPON SEEING HER LITTLE SISTER AGAIN. LAUREL THOUGHT THAT THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS WOULD KEEP HER BUSY FOREVER. MONTHS HAD PASSED. WORDS COULD NOT FULLY DESCRIBE HOW MUCH SHE MISSED SARA.

QUICKLY REGAINING HER COMPOSURE, SHE SMILES IN RETURN.

"HEY, SARA. LONG TIME NO SEE. COME IN!"

SHE MOVES OUT OF THE DOORWAY, FOR SARA TO ENTER.

LAUREL DIDN’T KNOW HOW MUCH THE MIRAKURU HAD AFFECTED ROY, AS SHE HADN’T BEEN INJECTED BEFORE BY EITHER CHOICE OR FORCE, BUT SHE IMAGINED IT TO FEEL HORRIFIC, OBSERVATIONS SHE HAD GLEANED, FROM HOW IT SEEMED TO AFFECT HIM FROM THE OUTSIDE.

IT WAS CERTAINLY ALMOST A MIRACLE THAT THE CURE WAS PROCURED FOR HIM, BUT SHE SUSPECTED THE DEATH HE’D CAUSED WHEN UNDER ITS INFLUENCE, WAS STILL WEIGHING DOWN ON HIS CONSCIENCE.

"HEY, ROY…YOU OKAY?" SHE SAYS NOW.

"ALRIGHT…AND I DON’T MIND THEM."

LAUREL STEPS INTO HIS OFFICE.

A SMILE REMAINED ON HIS FACE, UNABLE TO FULLY HIDE IT WHEN HER GRIN WAS SO CONTAGIOUS. DESPITE THEIR SLIGHT BACK AND FORTH ON THE WHOLE DATING MATTER, AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING WHEN THEY WERE SIMPLY TESTING THE WATER OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP, HE WAS GLAD THEY MANAGED TO PULL THOUGH.

“SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. I’LL EVEN ALLOW YOU TO HAVE THE HONOURS OF CHOOSING THE RESTAURANT.”

HE HELD HER HAND, LACING HIS FINGERS BETWEEN HERS AS WELL.

"OH, THANK YOU, MR MERLYN. YOU’RE WAY TOO GENEROUS.”

LAUREL TEASED. AS SHE FELT TOMMY RETURN THE GESTURE, A HAPPY WARM FEELING FLOODED THROUGH HER; HE WAS A SOLID ROCK IN HER LIFE AND CONSTANT REASSURANCE. 

"WELL, LET’S GO TO THAT CHINESE PLACE NEARBY, JUST DOWN THE BLOCK. I HEAR IT’S GOT DELICIOUS FOOD."

“LAST TIME I CHECKED I WAS THE ONE ALWAYS HAVING TO ASK YOU THAT QUESTION. DEPENDS ON IF YOU WANT TO GO OUT OR STAY AT HOME, AS LONG AS YOU’RE NEXT TO ME, I’M HAPPY WITH EITHER.”

IT FELT AS IF EVERY TIME A SMILE GRACED HER LIPS HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HER ALL OVER AGAIN. IT WAS THE SLIGHT PULL IN HIS CHEST, THE WARMTH OVERFLOWING HIS HEART, JUST KNOWING SHE WAS THERE, THOSE WERE THE THINGS HE LATCHED ONTO. LAUREL WAS ALL HE NEEDED.

A GRIN APPEARED ACROSS HER FACE, AT HIS WORDS. TOO TRUE, TOMMY WAS ALWAYS THE GENTLEMAN, WHEN IT CAME TO DATING HER. BEFORE, SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER ONCE THOUGHT THAT THE FRIEND TO PLAYBOY BILLIONAIRE OLLIE WOULD HAVE SUCH A KIND SOUL, BUT HE CERTAINLY LIVED UP TO IT.

"HOW ABOUT WE GO OUT TONIGHT?"

SHE LACED HER FINGERS IN HIS.

        FELICITY KNEW SHE’D HAVE TO TALK TO LAUREL EVENTUALLY,          AND THIS IS SO SOONER THAN SHE THOUGHT SHE’D HAVE TO.       ❝UH — YEAH. I CAN BE THERE IN 20 MINUTES.❞ SHE SAYS,         HANGING UP AND GRABBING HER COAT. SHE’S OUT THE DOOR         BEFORE GERRY GETS BACK FROM THE COPY MACHINE AND IN          THE CAB ON THE WAY TO VERDANT BEFORE RAY CAN QUESTION         WHERE SHE’S GOING.

UPON HEARING FELICITY’S CONFIRMATION THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE THERE, LAUREL NODS; “THANKS, FELICITY”, AND THEN HANGS UP. SEATING HERSELF DOWN AT THE BAR IN THE NIGHTCLUB, SHE CLOSED HER EYES FOR A MOMENT. SHE HAD LOST SO MANY PEOPLE SHE LOVED ALREADY, AND TO HAVE THE MAN SHE ONCE FELL IN LOVE WITH TO DISAPPEAR FROM HER LIFE AS WELL…IT WAS JUST TOO MUCH TO PROCESS.

AFTER A WHILE, SHE LIFTS HER HEAD UP, REQUESTING A GLASS OF WINE FROM THE BARTENDER. AS HE SLIDES THE WINE TOWARDS HER, SHE CATCHES IT, AND TAKES A GULP, HANDS SHAKING. SUDDENLY HEARING A SOUND, HER HEAD TURNS TOWARDS THE ENTRANCE OF THE VERDANT NIGHTCLUB.

"HEY—SORRY, FELICITY, BUT COULD I MEET YOU AT THE NIGHTCLUB?"

LAUREL NEEDED TO SPEAK TO THE IT TECH GIRL FACE-TO-FACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SHE HAD JUST FOUND OUT SOME DISTRESSING NEWS ABOUT OLIVER RECENTLY, AND IT RATTLED HER TO THE CORE. IT COULDN’T BE TRUE…

"IT’S ABOUT OLIVER."
