Barney Lines-Hembrey

Yeah for sure that’s a good point, think it was Morley or Leahy that lost his man, shite really

Norris may be the single worst goalkeeper I have seen for us; looks nervy with the ball at his feet, his long distribution is crap and he couldn’t catch a cold let alone a football. No idea what van Sas has done to deserve this (I know he was a little off the boil under Dodds but who wants?!?).

Time for a Mannion-esque radio appearance.

Absolutely brilliant this, seriously fantastic

Would love another one this weekend at Reading please Mr Duff!

This afternoon’s spin (Geese - Getting Killed). Love this record more and more with each listen.

Looked completely toothless, here’s hoping Nathan Lowe is fit soon

Love that classic Newcastle crest inspired one, very cool

Completely agree, that Luton match was the end for Norris for me, would like to see mikki start properly next season. Wouldn’t be against loaning him out to get minutes under his belt

Is he really any better than Laurie Shala? Judging off last season where he played the first half of the season for morecambe where he kept one clean sheet in the league I highly doubt it. Other than the “good lad to have in the dressing room” argument I fail to see why we’ve done this.

Still got a lot of time for Blooms but the pair of them might be the most boring management duo in football going

Wow, Dodds joins blooms at Oxford - what a very very odd move

Completely gutted about this, just devastating news. Schlagenheim is such a fantastic record I remember hearing it for the first time and being completely blown away. 😔

Shame it hasn’t worked out for him, can’t say it’s surprising though, Duff clearly doesn’t rate him at all

Two-Tier Reporting: When Climate Protesters Slow Ambulances They’re Vilified, So Why Are Wealthy Farmers Given a Free Pass? Media outlets rush to condemn climate change campaigners as "middle class" protesters causing "chaos" while ignoring greater disruption by millionaire landowners

Grassroots music venues are vital and are suffering at the expense of touts like Ticketmaster - they should be made to use their multi-billion pound profits to support the places that create the artists they profit off.

In other news millions of people in the UK are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵

To be clear:

It's £1m untaxed, plus £325k of standard tax free inheritance.

You can double that if the farmer is married.

So farmers can hand down £2.65m tax free, and their kids pay 20% on everything else.

Tax on your job is 40% over £50k

"Land owner" is not a job
