Very much enjoying watching Macclesfield play like prime Grimsby

Quick wrap in Sports Blue and you’re good to go

Please give that as a prompt to an image generator

Put some Hellas on the front too, for extra kudos

This is the answer

Colour match looks dreadful (on the Spring, not the Landie). Bronze are cool. Tried gloss white, rally style?

On the plus side at least you get your royalties from the image rights every time they sell a copy of the game “Operation”

If you aren’t already following one of the most interesting accounts on BlueSky, then why not?

A great thread summarising the Russian online response to the Venezuela raid.
