This time last year we would have completely collapsed in these last two games and not just partially.

So that’s positive!

Crazy

The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

I think Cherki will go missing some games this season (and be unplayable in others). As you said, acclimatising

We’re winning the league. Calling it now

Branching out my interests here on Bluesky

Genuinely think Killeagh by Kingfisher is the best irish song since stuff by Christy or The Pogues.

I rarely play one song 2 or 3 times but it’s class. The rest of the Album is top notch too!

You can’t not enjoy that. Haaland unbelievable. Cherki, Doku and Foden look like they are in the playground at times.

Fuming that haaland keeps scoring

That’s the one I’ve got too. Maybe it is a first press. It’s pretty battered too but plays well enough.

I also went through my dad’s collection and borrowed a few. I’m afraid though some of the scratches of them are probably my fault for not caring much for records as a kid!

Class. I’m not sure what press mine is. I’m no expert - it’s a new hobby - but this one is pretty crackly and a few surface scratches too!

Don’t mind the crackles at all though! You don’t really have a choice when you plan to build a collection through charity shops and Vinted

I got a record player a few weeks ago, got that record off Vinted and it just arrived today and it’s just finished. Cracking album!

Following it up with Kris Kristofferson. I picked up and Elvis one too in a Charity shop the other day

A can of boddingtons poured through a Guinness surger gadget is different gravy.

I’d go as far to say it’s better on Boddies as it is on Guinness

Come on city !

I like that team.

14 years ago, today: The Demolition of Old Trafford. 😍

Lovely couple of pints in Charlestown, last night. This one from our first and final stop - John Finans

A couple of days away with a mate. First time without the wife and kids for a long time!

Not a fan of him football wise but g nev is taking sense here

Thank F for that. Should have been out of sight first half. Good away 3 points !

Also nice one today Chelsea

Really enjoying new Alan Partridge. Wasn’t 100% sure first episode but think I may have just been tuning into it/him. Half way through episode 3 and Ive been laughing constantly. Even already winding back to watch bits again it’s so funny/clever

BUT I WILL virgin media people…if your reading this in October 2027

I will leave if I have to and I make that clear on the phone but thank Christ they gave me what I wanted as I couldn’t be arsed with the hassle of changing

Only took 20 minutes this time. I think two years ago it took nearly 3 hours 😂

Get put through to someone else and I actually get the deal £1 cheaper than the last contract. (although I now have adds with Netflix). I’m not bothered about that.

I could also save another £18 and lose TNT which I might do at the end of the season (or if City go out early!)
