Teacher, occasional author and former editor. Short-sighted and tone deaf. All my own teeth. Felt personally responsible for Newcastle's trophy drought as was born just after the Fairs Cup. Decent writer, terrible singer, useless at seeing things far away.

I admit that this is a terrible indictment of my ability to stay awake in dark rooms.

It's my measure for judging films - if I can fall asleep and still understand what's going on when I wake up, then the film's too long. This enrages my cinephile eldest child.

Convinced he'd skied it.

Elongated was awful, sorry.

No, I got the usual paywall block.

Up at 6 to watch that game - fair play.

Mind, I felt like that about Elliot Anderson...

Nice to meet another Worthing Mag btw.

๐Ÿ˜‚ That is an actual book though - a good graphic novel about Lewis Carroll and his links to the dark place.

Generally, yes, but I thought Bruno was poor today, Miley was ineffectual, and Ramsey was okay. Vive le difference.

Yep, always interested by his posts. Knows what he's on about without the ego or clickbait.

Books would be considerably shorter - which, often, would be no bad thing.

Top deck, but not the front seat? What's wrong with you woman - how are you going to pretend to be the driver?

Likewise the boy band one on iplayer. And I bloody hated boy bands.

As a child in the 70s I knew that the three most likely ways of dying were quicksand, alien abduction in the Bermuda Triangle, or shark attack. Keep your eyes peeled for sharks.

One of the things that keeps me going back to Twitter is that I get fairly regular DMs on there asking me for advice about reading.

Just to be clear: I am more than happy for people to DM on here for the same reason.

I'm just amazed Schar didn't pick up a yellow card and/or Kelly get injured. Silver linings.

We're going to lose a centre half to injury and Schar's going to get a booking. I hate being pessimistic, but this club... #NUFC

After a summer transfer saga that ended in failure, it seems #NUFCโ€™s interest in Marc Guehi is not over.

With the 24-year-old ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ international centre-back entering the last 18 months of his contract, thereโ€™s a chance that @jamieorrell.bsky.social's image & this ๐Ÿงต of analysis will not be in vain ๐Ÿ”ฝ

Newcastle United โ€“ Time To Move! - True Faith I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a supporter who hasnโ€™t thought about it or had the conversation โ€“ what are we going to do about St Jamesโ€™ Park? The question of course is motivated by intense demand for tickets ...

At the fan event at The Stack last night #NUFC COO Brad Miller addressed the issue of expanding SJP or relocation to a new stadium - a decision to be driven by logic and data - here are some thoughts on why relocation could be the best option - true-faith.co.uk/newcastle-un...

This was around the last time I got to games with any regularity before moving to the other end of the country. Bloody loved Micky Quinn.

An amazing player, but I'll be amazed if we don't lose either him or Isak in the summer.

Looks like a shot from the roof of The Standard hotel near St Pancras, London.
