I'm more an en-dash man myself but I fear nobody will believe I exist if I keep using them

Joao Pedro was excellent for #bhafc for most of his time here, scoring some huge goals, but the last few weeks of the season certainly soured a lot of people's perception of him.

Red card, training ground bust up, body language that suggested his head was gone

I recently asked #ChatGPT to create images of generic stars of various reality shows.

I don't know if it says more about AI or #LoveIsland that its images for that are scarily believable

Watson, Boscagli, Coppola, Kostoulas

I love how much business we're doing early in the summer, getting incomings lined up before preseason training has even begun.

Bloom giving Hurzeler the best chance he can at a successful second season #bhafc

It's not often I'm casually browsing in-store, which is perhaps part of the problem, but seeing how little physical media is on offer in the likes of HMV and Game is sad. It's mostly memorabilia tat. A casualty of streaming

Trump says the trade deal gives the US 'Unprecedented access to the UK market'? Donald, you can just get all of that in Lidl's middle aisle

Do I have to stop using en-dashes in case I get mistaken for AI? That's a shame – it looks nicer than a hyphen

Can UEFA make Inter and Barca play a third leg? Remarkable from start to finish, 180+ minutes of football at its best. A great advert for the #championsleague

A point is a fair result overall – VAR right to overturn two penalties while Verbruggen the busier keeper but not tested that much –and yet... Gomez has got to be scoring with that free header. Awful miss #BHAFC

O'Riley hasn't been particularly involved. Wonder if we'd be better off putting Gomez or Ayari on at half time and moving to a more conventional 4-3-3 #BHAFC

Can Harry Howell play up front? The attacking options off the bench today are... limited #bhafc

Quite keen to play #AssassinsCreedShadows but the roadmap of upcoming content makes me think I might as well wait until everything is out

Yeah, Kadioglu is a Champions League level fullback we've been unable to use most of the season. Like a new signing etc etc

I'd be stunned if we go into next season without signing at least two defenders

Even before summer transfers, we have Tzimas, Enciso, Yalcoure, Buonanotte, Ferguson, Osman, Cozier-Duberry, Sima and Sarmiento returning from loan that could be part of the squad. That's definitely big enough and deep enough for the UECL #bhafc

How easy is it to grow a tree from a seed? Could it take hold by simply planting the seed a few inches deep?

Always wondered how feasible it would be for guerilla gardeners to secretly plant trees all over the place wherever there's a decent patch of grass and create forests

I've been playing Atomfall and while I'm definitely enjoying it, it feels like the game is trying to put me off with forced rambles between objectives. This sums it up well

There was a group who thought it was fine and/or funny, and a smaller group who thought it was completely out of order.

There was a wiki as well and the latter group, of which I was one, was listed as 'the white knights'.

I wonder if that would all have played out the same today

Not sure why but I've just remembered an incident on a forum I used all the time as a teen.

One user sent a topless selfie to another. He then shared with a few others before it was then posted on the forum for all to see.

This sparked a huge debate.

With Bournemouth away at Palace and Fulham playing Chelsea, Brentford is probably a must-win. With six games left, and looking at the run-ins, I suspect 12 points will secure European football

Glad to see Spotify is down – means my phone isn't the problem. Downloaded playlists still work, at least

I know Katy Perry's last album wasn't well received but firing her off to space seems a tad harsh #BlueOrigin

Dreadful performance, as per usual against teams near the bottom of the league.

Wasteful in attack, low tempo in possession and weak at the back.

Season is fizzling out at an alarming rate – we'll be lucky to nab a Conference League place at this rate #bhafc
