Loving the positivity. But yeah, it seems tough to stop the yoyo-ing.

Ooh not a clue. I've lost all sense of what we can actually do. You?

Right, consider this as me resurfacing after 15 months of madness. What's going on?

New Saints shirt gets my vote because I don't shudder when I look at it. What's the verdict on Downs?

Probs still not playing FPL, as I'm out of the loop. I see Chelsea have bought their 419th fwd.

Shameless.

My 1 year old has already perfected the technique of using a cough to mask a fart. I've never been more proud.

This is terrible to hear and I hope he pulls through ok.

This underlines (yet again) the PL's lack of interest in player safety. The late offside flags need to stop (so many avoidable injuries) and there needs to be more care about releasing a player back onto the pitch after a serious collision.

Sophie's Three Peaks, in support of Sheffield Children's Hospital Help Tom Highnett raise money to support The Children's Hospital Charity

Thanks so much to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts. The guys completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Sunday and have so far raised over £4,500 for Sheffield Children's Hospital.

All made possible because of the generosity of so many ♥️

My parents moved up to Nottingham about 15 years ago, and I moved up to Sheffield around the same time so know both places well. Always happy to chat.

ah, the uk media dance where the comments on this article are turned off, everyone knows why they're turned off, but no one's allowed to say anything.

No FPL and only a sprinkling of social media is great. Highly recommend.

Remember the time we sold this guy because he didn't match the manager's style, only to sack said manager within 6 months.

But don't worry, SR know what they're doing.

If this commentary team think less than 4 minutes is a really long time, think of their poor partners...

You know we had a period a while back when people said they were struggling to discern reality from satire? We've now got to the point where reality is so crazy/terrifying that it's gone the other side of satire. People would say anything fictional of this nature was just in bad taste.

Sophie's Three Peaks, in support of Sheffield Children's Hospital Help Tom Highnett raise money to support The Children's Hospital Charity

For those of you who don't know, I gave birth to a beautiful little girl last April who was left fighting for her life. Thanks to amazing care from Sheffield Children's Hospital, Sophie is making an incredible recovery.

Please consider donating!

Thank you Paul for your incredibly generous donation. It really means a lot.

We had 3 weeks on the Jessop Wing prior to surgery (Sophie was only 4lbs at birth so needed to put on weight). They were also amazing. JustGiving doesn't allow you to split the fundraising, sadly.

I'm trying to piece together some of the names popping up on the Just Giving page and thank you all personally. I'm not always managing to work it out, and some of you have chosen to be anonymous, so if I haven't been able to thank you, THANKS SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is just a friendly reminder that it's 261 days since #saintsfc agreed compensation with United for Wilcox.

But hey, it's not like SR have got a track record for lunatic decisions when the DoF/recruitment post isn't filled. January 2023 is a shining example. 😳

Having now matched Thierry Henry, Salah 'only' needs 13 more goals this season to go clear fourth in the all-time PL goalscorers list (2 to Lampard, 9 to Aguero, 12 to Cole).

At the rate he's going this season and with his ridiculously good injury record, you'd really fancy him to do it...
