Maybe Santa's bringing the information, personally?

As a Brit, it's fascinating that one guy, as President, can decide, on a whim, to simply set free convicted criminals.

If so, why not take it one step further, dispense with judges and juries and trials and simply let the President decide on the guilt of the accused and whether to lock them up?

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.

Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.

Could someone, somewhere, ask the the bleeding obvious follow-up question of "why not?"

Or, "what alternative do you have to make up the short-fall in the UK GDP?"

And took the lettuce instead?

Saturday afternoon football

Grimsby Borough v Emley AFC

Cool winter wind but at least it's dry

And Trump's interest in football will only last as long as the US team remain in the competition.

Presumably, he is phoning the Olympic Committee to "request" a matching Peace bauble from them, now?

We, at Emley, are a club run by the supporters. A season ticket gets you a seat at the agm. It's a system that seems to work for us. And I try to go to as many matches, home and away, as I can.

"Thanks for this beautiful wonderfully merited award. Did I hear that the Olympics Committee were thinking of awarding a peace prize? Can I have it, pretty please?"

Sunny Grimsby Borough tomorrow for me.

Yes. And the trophy and, last month, the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup.

But, there's still the league

And hundreds of great non-league matches!

And over the weekend, millions of real fans will be watching real matches on real pitches. Relax, the game is still alive and kicking (sorry).

Wait until he finds out that it's only gold-plated

His enthusiasm will last as long as the US team stay in the competition.

After that, his interest will evaporate.

Another owner with more talk than cash. They actually ended up playing home games at Buxton! Demoted to the NCEL at the start of this season but went bust before playing a game.

Farsley Celtic went bust. However there is still a Celtic at Stalybridge. Cleator Moor is a lovely ground but one heck of a trek!

I think I was nerdy enough with teams' second names without going for first names as well. But hats off for spotting that one.

This is my last but couldn't miss out

Mansfield Hosiery Mills
Mickleover Royal British Legion
Wirksworth Ivanhoe
And
Derby Singh Brothers

The matches you remember despite the result!

More?

Benfield (Newcastle)
Synthonia (Billingham)
Boys Club (Grangetown)
Youth Club (Prudhoe)
Red Star (Prudhoe)
Blue Star (Newcastle)
