Right, so we are back on the podcast trail again tonight, brethren, so whatever questions you have for them - and as ever, they do NOT have to be about football - drop them in the replies here and we will get back to you :-)

Huge cheer from inside the pub I'm drinking outside in Harrogate, sounded a lot like a Spurs goal? Stoppage time winner? πŸ™

Preview: Spurs looking to continue good run against Manchester United It’s a repeat of the Europa League final at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday lunchtime as Spurs take on Manchester United, and hopefully it’ll be a better game than that was.

Morning loves, Spurs vs Manchester United at lunchtime, and the good folks at @fotmob.com have seen fit to allow me to write their preview for it. Make the most of this match! International break again next week!

Words & Pictures to Follow: Eastbourne United vs Epsom & Ewell - Rail Replacement Football Service There are no trains in this neck of the woods this weekend, so getting anywhere is going to be a bit of a trial. A trip eastward along the coast shouldn't be *too* much hassle... should it?

As for me, I'm off to the seaside* today!

It's Eastbourne United vs Epsom & Ewell the FA Vase Second Round, this afternoon. Could be a penalty shootout, which would be exciting.

*I already live a seven-minute walk from the sea

Good morning from Liverpool, where I've just finished writing this week's @oldhamfanmedia.bsky.social blog with a hangover. And now I have to get a train to Harrogate. What a trooper. #oafc

Your weekend match on UD will be Eastbourne United vs Epsom & Ewell in the FA Vase. The other Eastbourne. Or perhaps the other, *other* Eastbourne. Preview this evening, words and pictures on Sunday.

In Love Actually, it says that no one on the planes on 9/11 sent messages of hate only messages of love, but I like to think at least one person phoned and told their boss to blow a goat.

I didn't find his observations on inequality and the wider world particularly original (maybe that's a little harsh), but his insights into his creative process, his mental health struggles and his life experiences generally were really illuminating.

Definitely recommend reading on audiobook, as Vashti Bunyan's reading voice is as soothing as her music.

Yeah my mate has a similar story. "so one of the most horrific paedophiles ever was jogging past where 9 yr old you and your mates were fishing in Roundhay Park, with his dick out, and he....just carried on jogging? Literally jogged on? Oh mate."

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.

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.
