Because there are no “Job Classifieds” for writers, especially comedy writers, I’m putting my website here in the hope there might be some work going. I’ll openly admit it’s been incredibly tough going this year, so please have a look or share. Thank you kind people www.mathew-owen.co.uk

Route One: Can Trafford take Ederson’s jersey? (...and have Everton signed the bargain of the summer?) James Trafford didn’t do so well in the Premier League with Burnley, so why does Pep Guardiola think he’ll do better this time? We ask goalkeeping expert David Preece what he makes of it.Chelse...

The new ROUTE ONE is live and we’ve got @davidpreece.bsky.social over to assess James Trafford, @mattdaviesadams.bsky.social wonders about Chelsea’s title hopes and @afhstewart.bsky.social thinks Everton might have a real gem in Alex Aznou…

Are you a time traveller from the future?

I’m way past that now, mate

The what???

This is the first in a series which will include titles such as “Putting the bins out: Is it a Buddhist endeavour?” and “Hang a painting on the wall? Do I look like an engineer?”.

Someone’s lost a shoe. Sign of a good night out, that.

It’s not a bad shout that

😂

Morning!

Isn’t that a French cheese?

Drove past your mam’s house this morning . . .

It’s been a while

Think Gary Lineker should do a snooker podcast called The Rest Is For Long Awkward Shots

Broad repertoire, mixing it up a bit

The big man’s had a few shouts today

Look, if I’ve seen this, you have to too. My man!

Met him at at the Inspire Institute of Sport when he was doing his rehab after his accident. Incredible he’s walking again never mind doing backflips

Me 2 years ago: I’m not really a pet person.

Me today: Feeding my dog digestive biscuits with Philadelphia on and making him promise not to tell his Mam.

Autos, Attention and Dog Gang Warfare It's been a while and we should probably have a catch up. Fancy a chat?

No one seems to remember when the internet - and Twitter - wasn’t about ‘engagement’ but just… having fun. How we’ve internalised the Growth Delusion as individuals, treating ourselves as brands requiring outreach, is beyond me, and deeply cringe.

Any chance of you chapping on the dressing room door and telling them there’s a game on here?

An astonishing, darkly comedic tale from Davy Corner, the man blamed 4 Sunderland’s ‘85 League Cup final defeat

By ‘blamed’ I don’t mean a hard time in media. I mean physically assaulted

He later joined police + was called out to a man attacked with a samurai sword…

Pure coincidence, I’m sure
