Against League 3

It was absolutely as bad as you expect. Went full exorcist. Never go full exorcist.

I’m not lying..

30 seconds later and he’s through on goal. Incident clearly hasn’t affected his build up play but it has knocked his finishing. 0-0.

Bucket of sawdust later and play resumes with #24 not leaving the pitch. Non league football. Nothing like it.

Play stopped at Southport V Buxton this evening because Buxton’s #24 has just vomited all over the pitch.

MRW now the UK have picked someone genuinely interesting, skilled, entertaining and talented to represent us at Eurovision.

I’ve never known this man make a recommendation that didn’t stand up. It’s actually bloody infuriating. I’ve had a blast watching this tonight.

The NFL is just aerial ice hock…

Well it isn’t really but that was the best I could do 😭

Yes it is

Welcome to Chorley FC, where the half time challenge is to smash a ball into a washing machine.

Alex Honnold freesoloing Taipei 101 was the most stunning and incredible display of athleticism, skill and batshit insanity I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Can’t believe what I’ve just watched.

Alex Honnold you absolute madman. This is utterly terrifying.

RIP FBref. Disastrous. Since starting my own database of historic results, I've been very unpleasantly surprised at the amount of commercialisation and gatekeeping over not just stats, but even results.

Hopefully someone starts something opensource 👀

Do knaves count against PSR? 🤔

I choose to believe there is an official butler with two knaves running around trying to undermine him.

I enjoyed looking at Gremio's Wikipedia page today and finding, in the 'Club Officials' section, that the club has an official butler.

Name a more iconic duo than schools and letters home in comic sans.

Entries close at 12:00 local time (GMT). I'll do the draw at some point this evening.

Red alert

Charles Alcock was a key figure in the development of the sport. A big figure in the early FA, formation of the FA Cup.He published a number of books which are quite rare and quite valuable. Staggered to find a genuine one under the tree.

The wife has completed Christmas. Absolutely speechless opening this.

"Daddy did this Freddo cost 39p?"

"No mate, they're not *that* expensive"

"But it says '39p' on it?"

"... Well I'll be..."

Strangest thing: Barca's crypto sponsor ZKP, which claims to be building a blockchain business based on total privacy and which refuses to disclose who owns it or where it's based, publishes a live transactions map purporting to show the location of its customers. Interesting way to handle its data.

I never ever want to set eyes on this monstrous Ferrari shitbox ever ever again. Get it in the bin.

Still get shudders thinking about Abu Dhabi 2021.

Delighted for Lando Norris. Even more delighted Max Verstappen didn't win his fourth world championship.

Yes, fourth.

Abolish Fifa.
