Gary O'Neil's rejection of Wolves is a damning indictment of the way that club is being run It feels unusual to be writing about the same club twice in a row on here, but the situation regarding the new Wolves manager is too interesting to pass by.

A bit of a follow-up to what I wrote about Wolves a couple of days ago. Small wonder the fans are so furious.

πŸŽ„ Christmas is coming, do you want to gift somebody a unique, original drawing?

I am opening up commissions! A partner, friend, your pet?

Happy to discuss anything that is out of the ordinary (like compositions, large scale, paint etc)

The Weekend Match: Broadbridge Heath 4-1 VCD Athletic - Pathetic Fallacy Romantic poetry at this particular point in my life feels like a sick joke, but I can't resist the temptation to lean back into my teenage optimism.

On a trip to Shelley's birthplace, the death of love, and ultimately, some Frankensteinesque pathetic fallacy. It's Broadbridge Heath vs VCD Athletic in the Isthmian League Division One South East.

Halloween. Trawled our archives for the scariest thing we could find, settled on Oldham Athletic's mascot from the early 90's. Apparently it's an owl.

You're pissing your chances of getting an OBE for services to journalism in the new year's honours right up the wall.

I've worked in healthcare long enough that when food or drink is described as 'dirty' (martini, fries etc) I think it's infected with MRSA/ C. Diff and won't touch it.

Same! I don't read much SFF, and I take a while to get into it when I do, but I enjoyed the His Dark Materials trilogy.

Oof, there is a LOT going on here. Almost too much - I felt like the final couple of plot twists were a couple too many, but that might say more about my lack of imagination. It's beautifully written, and I found myself very invested in the characters. #BookSkyπŸ’™πŸ“š

The Football Kickback: Burning Out and No Alternatives Almost entirely unedited this week, friends. The only football podcast that freely promotes the extent to which we don't want to talk about football.

This week's podcast is upon us, and apologies if a couple of bits of it are a difficult listen. Wasn't expecting it myself, though I know where it comes from.

I mean, we do get onto football, so there is that.

Danny Tommo, the fascist organiser, instigator of last year's riots beginning in Southport, and good friend of Tommy Robinson got a warm welcome from local antifascists in Southampton today.

Sheffield Wednesday are now under the care of administrators, in an example of how fans can control the narrative of a failing football club.

Single Parenthood & I: The Great British Cake-Off I'm not incompetent in the kitchen, but baking is a science and I was crap at science when I was at school. It's time to face down those demons and get a goddam cake baked.

How's half-term looking, Ian?

Baked a cake, which wasn't entirely disastrous.

Thinking of having a go at a loaf of bread later this week, too.

Here's how it went down.

The Football Kick: On the Subject of the Death of Leonid Brezhnev Just the 15 minutes before we get onto the subject of football this week, friends, but we know you're all okay with that.

This is 90 minutes long and we only talk about football for 15 minutes. You can hear my sore throat and snotty nose.

If you're still in, I salute you!! Hot random chatter, including the death of Brezhnev and the Challenger Disaster.
