Take me home... Me and my buddy Joe after the final match at Highfield Road, 20 years ago today. Lots of fond memories of a great stadium. We won 6-2 so don't know why I was grimacing! #pusb

Very much a second-string from Liverpool, but that's a brilliant performance from Plymouth. Why can't they defend like that in the Championship?!

Matt Grimes is a statement signing from the Sky Blues - a consistent, highly experienced midfielder who is leader and a winner. Early days still under Lampard but feels like we're raising the bar. #pusb

Fantastic away win. Very assures, took chances, and tactically superb. Allen and Dovin stand out. Delighted for Ellis and BTA getting amongst the goals. Self belief is back. We're climbing. #pusb

Watching #Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special on BBC2. What a musical genius, what a voice, effortlessly rolling out his hits in his first TV appearance for eight years. Funny and charming too. Can Liam & Noel do the same later this year?!

We're wonderfully inconsistent under Lampard so far. W3 D3 L3. Sums up the season as a whole. Getting Haji back and maybe a few quality January signings will surely push us into a top half finish - no chance of anything better. #pusb

A City collapse for the ages at Portsmouth. There was zero game management when 1-0 up and we just haven't coped with Pompey since. Defensively shocking and no quality to move up the pitch. What has been wrong with our attitude? Lampard has much work to do. #pusb

The UK is spending ยฃ369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has ยฃ22bn and gets ยฃ500m more a year.
He can pay for his own renovations, ยฃ369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
