Tottenham. Why I'm not sure the new tactic for defending long throws will be permanent and some love for Sanchez and Maresca.

It only took one look to know that was a red card for Bentancur. Craig Pawson won't have an easier decision all season and he managed to get it wrong.

From memory I think Angry Al of AWOL had founded Cheers. I think that supporters club stuff there is a prime example of why the Brake Club broke away to do their own thing🤣

Pretty sure I never read the Thistle. I think that was the Supporters Club fanzine and I was loyal to the Brake Club 🤣 There were some excellent Scottish fanzines in general at that time.

The mention of a Meadowbank Thistle fanzine has reminded me of AWOL, the Brake Club's fanzine. The best football fanzine ever...until the fanzine I was part of came out anyway🤣

Almost disaster from the jaws of victory, bored of writing about our red cards, some stuff about the system and why an apparently favourable draw is anything but for me.

Really good to see Lime Garden and Prima Queen highlighted among Simon's favourites of the weekend here. Saw them both on the same bill a couple of years ago and they were really good. Both bands worth checking out.

I was out to lunch yesterday and was speaking to someone who used to hate Trump. Now though, she defends him and thinks he has a good sense of humour. What's happened? Well she's watched an increasing amount of GB News and Fox News in recent years. Those networks are an absolute cancer on society.

This is excellent. I've only ever been to 2 stadium shows. One of those was great because it was the Manics and one was awful because it was the Stereophonics 🤣 So much good stuff out there right now that there's no need to pay such stupid prices for stadiums.
