Iain Macintosh

Aw, what a lovely man he was. I always remember the people who were kind to me when I turned up in 2007 not knowing anyone or anything (pre-Twitter days). He was fun.

I am so excited for this game. Literally every possible result would be hilarious

Aw, thanks so much! I actually saw that book the other day, so I'll give it a read on your recommendation!

Hiya! Sorry for late reply, haven't been on here much. Pod is on hiatus because something big came up. But don't unsubscribe, for we do have plans.

David Squires on … Jim Ratcliffe’s comments and his need for some home truths Our cartoonist reflects on the Manchester United co-owner’s recent statements and electioneering, via the prism of Cracker’s DCI Bilborough

Here’s this week’s cartoon for @sport.theguardian.com

www.theguardian.com/football/pic...

It’s devastatingly stupid, isn’t it? Like allowing a five year old to make all your major decisions

We can rule nothing out with a man like ths

“It didn’t work for those people etc etc”

Four managers in a season. That should do it.

I love watching sports I don’t really understand, I can lose myself in them. American football, Dressage, Soccer. The ignorance is the bliss.

Dunkin Donuts advert was really odd. Strong Pet Semetary vibes. It was recognisably your old cat…but it wasn’t your old cat. Your old cat didn’t have those eyes. Those cold, dead eyes.

It was an AI generated mashup of various 80s/90s sitcom stars with no real script or point.

I chuckled at the Ben Stiller one. The rest have been dreadful

They forgot to ask it to write a decent script for that Donut advert.

The adverts are really weird this year. It’s basically all AI and then something about potatoes.

One of the bluest, I believe.

We just never seem to make it work, we’re not comfortable with anything at the football other than a nice brass band.

Seattle gave us Frasier, Nirvana and Soundgarden. I think we owe them this.

I’ve sprung for the 99p US coverage of the game on DAZN even though I’m already flagging and I only really want to make it to half time to ensure that Bad Bunny is safe.

Could be worse, Forest are the woods

If you believe, as I do, that Leeds aren’t out of the woods just yet, you have to believe that Spurs are now very much in the woods…

Puts it all in perspective.

Yeah. I just keep thinking of what might have been. Imagine that she'd just done all of the vocals and Bryan restricted himself to his latest real six string. What a song that might have been. It's one of history's greatest what ifs...

There's not enough Mel C in 'Baby When You're Gone' the so-called duet with Bryan Adams. The one moment when she gets to open up her afterburners is the best bit of the song.

That's been bugging me for over 25 years.

The new TRK FC is here and today we're asking the question: Can Arsenal fans finally unclench?

Plus, various potshots, score-settling, a book review of forgotten Spanish stories and some housekeeping...

It's the feelgood story we didn't know we needed!

I know you. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Where can I find a 14min preview of the weekend's football across Europe that contains trace elements of Freddy Eastwood?"

Here: pod.fo/e/383ec6

I believe we also had one about wheels going round and round which does not date particularly well.

A full weekend European preview awaits on TRK FC, including some stuff about firesticks, Pep Guardiola's scalp, Gary O'Neil's three from three and Freddy Eastwood. Oh, Freddy Eastwood.

I feel like explaining Hi de Hi to young people would also require the explanation of 'holiday camps' and I think it would all be too much
