Actor, filmmaker and animator. Professional grotesque. Lamentations and surreal musings upon ones football team may occur.
One of life's circles has completed -
I've reached the age when I'm staring at stuff that my nephews love like Stranger Things but not having the first clue what to buy them, as I know bugger all about it.

I now know what it was like when I was their age and screaming about Doctor Who to relatives.

What exactly did we do with pre-season? #pafc

Derek Adams influence is strong.

If you go 1 up, hurtle backwards and never darken the opposition penalty area ever again. #pafc

Conor Hazard Tactical 'Injury' Handbook.

Method 1 - Sit on floor, arms around knees and shake head whilst looking at floor.

Method 2 - Keep 'injured' leg out straight. Look at floor but don't shake head.

Don't forget to chat with ref during 'treatment'. Maybe say "It really hurts ref!" #pafc

League One is a lot like those Polar Express interactive experiences.

A few talented youngsters looking for a job and something for the CV. Then there are those who have done it for too long.

Set and costumes are tired, energy is too forced and tickets are pricey for the product on offer. #pafc

4-4-2 of old(ish)

A quick buzz back to the days when it was extremely prevalent and not some radical discovery. With emphasis on the wide areas.

Let's belt off down the wing and whip in some crosses... #pafc 🧵

I like Oseni.

Yeah he's raw, but is comfortably ahead of Pepple.

And he's not alone in needing work in holding the ball up, I'd argue all three strikers need to be much better at it. Bustling runs are great, but every now and then just keep it. #pafc

When the respective John's of Entwistle and Deacon have played it, it's worth raiding the piggy bank.

So far I think I've seen:

5311
4411
442(ish)

Also - Cleverley moaning at an official on 8 mins.

At this point I have no clue what is happening. I know these names, where they prefer to play... So...

I'm guessing two straight lines and Oseni on his own like an island in the middle of the Pacific.

Shuffle, side step,
Pass, pass, launch,
Throw in,
Side step, shuffle,
Ah bugger. #pafc

"The only welfare state we wish to see is the continuing flow of funds from those with the least paying the most, to those paying the least and hogging the most.

Screw you if your school didn't charge a fee, if you happen to have a chronic condition and/or empathy."

Doctor Who has been an expensive (indulgent?) exercise in fan-fiction for the past 20 years.

Irregular scheduling, years off, galactic shark-jumping mini-seasons with an old Doctor brought back. Any wonder an audience feels fed-up?

The classic also started eating itself, time is circular it seems.

Near two-score cautions,

I hear the Devon FA is about to bestow a Peace Prize on me for once breaking up an argument on the touchline of a DJM game when I was a 17 year-old referee.

Better late than never ah?

iPlayer has this cracker - Horror Express, starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Telly Savalas guests as a Cossak.

A fossilised ape man thaws out and causes mayhem on a train. Guests include a Polish spin on Tsar Nicholas and Princess Alexandra with their own personal Rasputin in tow.

Would help if Cleverley took responsibility once.

He has a poor disciplinary record.

The team has poor discipline.

He always excuses himself. He's blamed players, recruitment and officials. Admit you set up wrong. Admit you're over complicating. Hold your hands up, you might improve. #pafc

I see the National Theatre is going for the price gouging that is "Dynamic Pricing".

Despite considerable ACE funding, commercial backing, tours and stunt casting, watch those prices really only rise.

Maybe drop streaming in cinemas when local theatres are struggling? Might save you a few quid...

Not to worry, it's of enormous comfort that he's going to be here until January, be given the transfer window AND beyond regardless what the data says. #pafc

All very League One. Quality lasts a few minutes at best, then it's about efficient structure.

Why we've been caught out by how physical it is, having only been here a few seasons ago makes no sense. #pafc

The Old Boys all starting today.

Total number of appearances is over 1,500 and a combined 100 years on this planet.

Trying to work out if Cleverley's "In the last five games if you split it down into halves I have been really pleased with eight of them..."

... Is on a par with Fletcher only playing Chadwick because he's "Better at defending corners."

Adams insisting a 5-1 loss was close, is up there too. #pafc
