Just seen episode 2 of #PAOTY the 16 year old Robbie Lee was awesome but the winner a very good portrait. Good choices by judges again this week.

Dunno Β£15 a year seems very cheap way less than Tories or Labour. Probs represents decent value if you feel it’s for a good cause.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

Don’t get the hoohah over the #NobelPeacePrize the Norwegians have far more sense than to give it to a nutcase like Trump. It seems like he is even declaring war on his own citizens atm.

Norwegians have more sense than to be bullied by an idiot like Trump.

Used to love being in the Kop in those days with 50,000 in the ground. Had to be in place by 1:30. Was such an amazing atmosphere.

Matthew Syed is not only a terrible journalist but unhinged politically too.

Felt we competed well again. Matched Spurs, unlucky with two deflected goals and weak ref.
In the end bit like last week the quality of their bench was the difference.
Can’t really see what Nmecha offers but Piroe cameo looked ok. #lufc

Easy the best outcome the Tories can now provide is to split the right wing vote and stop Deform winning a shed loads of seats

In shock news away tickets for Burnley secured! #lufc
New ticket ballot system seems a lot fairer.

Episode 1 of the new series of #paoty got off to a great start . Three excellent portraits on the shortlist and a worthy winner in Eady

I know a lots been made of #lufc and Sunderland getting off to a decent start in the #EPL but it’s equally interesting that the three relegated teams are not setting the pace in the #Championship - maybe real change is happening in footballs hierarchy?

Thanks that is really helpful. So if one person applies for two tickets for self plus pal then then the second person can’t apply as well. Probs a lot fairer..

Applied for Burnley away tickets #lufc wasn’t clear to me it had been a success so I ended up applying again which probs will invalidate everything πŸ₯΄ - anybody else have this issue or am I just a bit dim?

I remember after the 7/7 London bombings and it came out some of the attackers came from Beeston the Tottenham fans singing Your just a town full of bombers at us - wasn’t nice to here.

I went to most home games in the 70s - plenty of NF and the SWP. Most people uninterested just wanted the football.
