Well done Pam! I dug out my old United beanie hat - so old that it was made in England - to tease a friend who’s an Arsenal fan. He took it well but the hat is so warm I’ve worn it everyday since, forgetting I’m wearing it until I get a dirty look. 4 comments so far, all from Arsenal fans. Love it!

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

The Oxford Mail uses rage bait pay: the journalists are paid per click so the more rage bait they post, the more ££. Appropriately the OED word of the year is rage bait.

I hope so. Was hoping we’d have a little winter happiness with this tour amidst the world gloom but it’s just a wash out on all fronts

Absolutely hopeless. Doesn’t seem to difficult to provide a decent search

Absolutely mad! Kept waking up and couldn’t resist the temptation to check the score…big mistake as instantly wide awake. The pitch…!!

Campaigners celebrate as Sheringham bus shelter saved A council says workers will now leave the transport hub site following protests and a new vote.

'Campaigners who have been protesting to try to save a 1950s bus shelter from demolition are celebrating after a town council voted to save the structure.'

That makes it more embarrassing. Explaining to overseas friends and tourists that 90% of the scenes set in Oxford are actually Bath/Bristol. Why not just change the setting to Bath or Bristol and cut the one day filming of dreaming spires.

I felt the same with Bath and Bristol pretending to be Oxford except for a few shots which they clearly did in one day. Totally different. And we’d just shown American friends of friends round Oxford who excitedly told us they were watching it and enjoying seeing Oxford on their TV

I always loved Wan-Bissaka when he played for us an he still feels like family. Great to see how he’s developed. First half felt like United v Wan Bissaka.

ROOOOOOoooooOooooOOOOOT

Bruno lower than Cunha 🤣 where are these stats from?

But his retirement plans are now in “disarray” and “ruined” cos he’s going to have to find an additional £208.33 per month?

He has £2-4 million in savings/investments but claims he is not “cash-rich” and his house was his only “pension”

Seriously @Telegraph, where do you find these people?🤣🤣🙄

9/9

They’ve just replayed it. It was a slap to the face. Not hard, handbags at dawn but it’s a clear red to the ref

Especially weird watching the ball crawl to a stop in the long grass inside the boundary rope. Presumably prepared to order?

I always ummmm and ahhh for ages over chips. I was thinking about bench boosting this morning but got distracted by a phone call so missed the deadline! But I got Mbeumo in last night cos that man’s on 🔥

I vary them. Whilst I like Connections, I find it too time consuming when it uses specific American knowledge/words whereas the pips game is mathematical and takes about 3 mins

Play Pips, our new dominoes game for all skill levels. Every domino has a spot. Can you find where each belongs?

Obdurate - that’s the word!
On a different subject, I find this new puzzle quite satisfying:

So disappointing. I really dislike Boycott but we needed someone like him to anchor the innings

Thanks for the tip, Pam. Watched and enjoyed

Sing it loud, sing it clear! Especially after his pathetic mockery of Monty. Remember meeting Monty at Old Trafford and he was such a nice bloke, making time for all the young kids as did Strauss. Smith deserves the scorn

Well done, Scotland! Cracking game, but almost too nerve wracking in extra time. You fought to the end and deserved it. Moving interview by Andy Robertson too.

Gosh, I hope Andrew Milne doesn’t become so well known doing this shit becomes impossible for him.

After Becky’s mum died, it was time to sell her childhood home. Then Andrew Milne got in touch Plus: As the search for answers continues, The Tribune takes to the road

Horrified, Becky read Milne’s words. “I accordingly am entitled to vacant possession of the property”, he asserted. “I am writing to give you 7 days notice that I will have a locksmith and agent attend to recover possession for me and change the locks”.

Latest update in our Andrew Milne story 👇

Yes it has. Fingers crossed for tomorrow too!

A London lawyer bought hundreds of Sheffield freeholds. Then the ‘very aggressive’ letters arrived Exclusive: The Tribune can reveal that Andrew Milne has threatened leaseholders with high court action. It ‘broke my heart’ one woman says

“It broke my heart, that was my savings towards a new car,” one woman who paid Milne tens of thousands of pounds told us. “He has just wiped me out.”

Who is Andrew Milne - the solicitor sending "very aggressive" letters to Sheffield homeowners?

Public art can be powerful but this doesn’t convey the beauty or magic of moths flying in a wildflower meadow. I’d prefer sculptures that complemented the wildflowers and moths and had no meaning than lots of meaning and no beauty

Or Welbeck? I nearly went with him last week but then went with Thiago who didn’t return so lost ground
