Every half decent flat horse and jockey out there as well at the moment. Saw a bomb hit that hotel earlier and they ran racing today 😬

Yep. Rolled over onto my front in the night and the pins dug into me. So try and avoid doing that

Reform have got this, with personalisation, through my letterbox. I have never given them my address details.

In a fair environment, I get a return address or phone number so I can respond to this in person, the second word is off.

For Christs sake, is this how Stan Boardman made his career?

Me hearing this Winter Olympics closing ceremony…

In reality this is every game I watch nowadays. Mute the commentary and listen to something else through my headphones.

As for the quality of pundits and commentators, if I want to hear from an arsehole I’ll fart.

Skinner being as graceful as ever on the final whistle there. Also, Robyn Cowen on TNT Sports means another channel with her β€œroyal death” voice every time Chelsea pass forwards…

Got to the 1400s before the English turned into Scandinavian and I gave up

I know a lot of people think Microsoft Excel is a dreadful piece of software, but I would rate it October 10th.

Real ones don’t have a smudge or a cross because they didn’t go to church, but still don’t eat meat on Ash Wednesday through years of habit πŸ‘€

Wout Faes in the Champions League…

Strong Club World Cup final vibes about Monaco vs PSG right now. That said, Wout Faes in central defence means nothing is guaranteed…

The commentator could correct himself to say he meant Ric Flair. Oh…

Worth a listen for the usual reasons, and as a grumpy Chelsea fan I can point out Ratcliffe trying to hijack the 2022 Chelsea ownership raffle on the basis of being English. His bullshit this week doesn’t shock me in slightest

We know a few who will insist on calling him Jesse Londonderry etc etc

A few I know were chatting with him in the pub pre-West Ham…

When the Reaper goes fishing in your river, it feels all the more jarring.

I personally think he should have been given more time. Me and other Chelsea fans were in full agreement…

In all seriousness, called it last night with the gap between now and Spurs next game. I went to our 1-0 win there in November and didn’t fully appreciate just how pissed off you all were.

Same thought I have at every Winter Olympics

How do you realise you are good at some of these events???

We really don’t need the political equivalent of Roy Keane appearing on The Rest is Bullshit or whatever series they’ve launched recently

Spurs wearing yellow against Man U yesterday wound me up equally

Thought I’d gone on one of those London Underground tours of abandoned stations by mistake. Turns out I’m on the Bakerloo Line.

I’d have him sacked purely for suggesting George Osbourne as US ambassador as his first preference

People getting moody about Havertz tapping that badge should recall the numerous occasions Blueco have treated players they wanted gone in a fashion that breaches employment regulations in normal industries.

Still a tit though. Looks like a foppish aristo who blew the family fortune on opium.
