To make up for a wonderful day at the football, I have spent the morning finding out that the garlic and black pepper chicken nuggets the Arch are selling as a limited edition arenโ€™t just hot when you eat the bloody thingsโ€ฆ.

Keith Andrews is the most qualified to be the next Republic of Ireland manager by default. It helps he appears to have something about him

At least Iโ€™m unlikely to end up talking to one of his incredibly pissed nieces in a pub opposite Stamford Bridge unlike the current incumbent. Heimir the Hames

The high levels of cognitive dissonance required to be with that lot means they will have never considered this.

Genuinely think the removal of the cuisine will be the first point when they realise whatโ€™s involved with their new political godsโ€ฆ

My enthusiasm for the Dodgers not winning the World Series is tempered by the fear that a Canadian team winning it will cause a tariff based revenge along with a Trump speech that will make me even less likely to believe he is teetotal

A few years ago Iโ€™d have agreed with you, but some of the utter wankers I see at games these days means I canโ€™t really argue against it with enthusiasm.

@leftback.bsky.social - youโ€™d need a heart of stone not to laugh.

No. Thatโ€™s actually not bad

Gurning Gurney and allโ€ฆ

In fairness Iโ€™m fairly sure most of the card holders support Reform now. At least three quarters of them because they think Nige will force the PDC to move all the European Tour events from Germany back to the UKโ€ฆ

The fume it would cause would be utterly hilarious.

Iโ€™ve seen one, but itโ€™s by that โ€œAccountabilityโ€ menace so I ainโ€™t amplifying it. Itโ€™s also utter shit

Being able to rhyme both parts of Zack Polanskiโ€™s name with cocaine slang has definitely helped here. But yeah heโ€™s a far better media performer than both sides of Fruit and Nutโ€ฆ

Galatasaray tonight. Image posted on clubโ€™s social media. Event governed by UEFA, like Villaโ€™s game v Maccabi. Villa fans warned against โ€œpoliticalโ€ messaging by club with threat of stadium ban. PSG fans, others and UEFA themselves (obliquely below) have posted messages too.

Their fans applauded us singing โ€œsacked in the morningโ€ after the early sub sent them into revolt

Ajax in that state is quite sad. Iโ€™m just about old enough to know they are a giant of a team and yet the financial disparities are such that Lincoln were more of a threat

So I started watching House of Guinness last night. Once you get past the first episode itโ€™s quite good.

Same as that. Spoke to a journalist after the Newcastle loss like shit on his shoe and what little sympathy I may have had evaporated

Iโ€™m saying nothing after my reactions to Benitez at our club!

I suspect the reaction was more down to how Nuno was treated by Marinakis (who deserves nothing but derision imo) and Ange was caught in the middle, but he didnโ€™t help himself from what I heard from Forest fans

Whoever suggested this is a form of karma for cheating Crystal Palace out of the Europa League may be on to something.

I think he is an arrogant bully tbh. Not sure why people thought speaking to people like pieces of shit was a positive trait and โ€œstraight talkingโ€

Tried to do a profound post referencing that Iโ€™ve havenโ€™t fully processed my uncle taking his own life in 2012. Made a balls of it and deleted.

Read this instead.

RIP Ricky Hatton.

Just seen a WWE branded plane at Dublin airport. Doubt itโ€™s a Ryanair linkupโ€ฆ

and an extremely weird thing to say about your dad whilst heโ€™s claiming to be in rude health. Someone wants to be president afterwards

Canโ€™t see this now without wanting to see the video clip of a bloke in a dinosaur costume getting done over by his mates spraying โ€˜fart sprayโ€™ into the air vent
