Tough times in NW Norfolk. Only one farmer with anything to sell.

Yes. Met two at near Duxford on way. Said: β€œWe go to game”, in patronising partial English, as you do. They gave me full breakdown of their likely selection in perfect version of my own language. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ #SteveMcClaren

Broadly encouraging win for #ncfc in the last friendly. But I remember Marley Watkins’s worldie in pre-season v Brighton in 2017, Marc Libra’s debut goal after 19 seconds in 2001. Neither ever did anything remotely similar. … I think I’ll wait before declaring any successes this season.

… and nobody force-snogged any of the winning team. Not even Nonce Andrew’s nephew. A big step forward for the beautiful game. #Lionesses

Yes! Wandered past so many without glancing each day until I retired and, new to leisure visits to our storied capital, took a guided walking tour of Wren’s many churches. You see him learning and practising ahead of getting the St Paul’s gig.

A reminder of Tommy Cooper’s joke when asked what he’d said to ERII when she spoke with him after a Royal Command performance.

The Prince of Wales, patron of the FA, will be in Switzerland to watch England in the Women’s Euro 2025 final on Sunday, Kensington Palace says.

Hey @lbc.co.uk the letter J O’B read from β€˜Chris’ was lie after lie. He might as well have read Mein Kampf. There are no Shabbat schools. The doctrines β€˜quoted’ are 180 degrees away from Jewish teachings. Whatever one thinks about Gaza, repeating ancient falsehoods about British people is criminal.

Quite. Especially as her game, wherever they stick her, is all about running. Extraordinary to watch.

After decades and decades of watching #England men’s self-fulfilling fear of failure we’ve got #Lionesses who always, always think: β€œWe won’t be beaten.”

That this is presented by the media as β€œpolicy” is why we are in this mess.

These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.

& commentators not understanding the laws. Women’s football has finally achieved parity with the men’s game.

#Euro25 FRA v GER. Players feigning major injury after every challenge like … um … men players.

The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying Β£7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a β€˜moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

Covering the small boats 'deal' without referencing Macron's irrefutably accurate observation that blame for the 'crisis' lies with Brexit involves contortions so violent that the people doing it should be in a circus.

I will be posting about my new book, β€˜Cutting the Mustard’ on this account for some time. For those interested in the material I drew on in my research, I am posting a photo of the Norwich City Historical Trust’s archive. You can find everything here from old club accounts to match details. Amazing.

So we’re all agreed - it’s beachwear in court today, right? Nobody is seriously suggesting we do the whole business suit, heavy black robe and horsehair wig thing, in windowless buildings where the radiators are stuck on max.

Surely?
