Football writer. Otherwise into the usual stuff. Politics, music, literature, art, film, TV, natural world, long-distance train travel, cricket, golf, boxing, tennis, pro-celebrity subbuteo, himalayan bungee jumping. You know, normal human pursuits.

Accidentally discovered a great way to uncover bots. Put something ridiculous in your profile. I've been asked who my favourite celeb is in pro-celebrity subbuteo and told by a couple of young ladies they enjoy Himalayan bungee jumping too.
A sentence you may never see again in several lifetimes.

Sunderland replace Bournemouth in the Champions League positions.
Couple of weeks back she said her toxic affair with her land rover was over. I reckon she's got enough to scrape through the winter.

More likely a case of Aga do

This. A thousand times this.
You guys are good but this strikes me as a classic case of 'lies, damned lies and statistics.' How many of those smokers ten years ago who thought vaping less harmful are now themselves vapers? Thus creating an increase in the percentage of CURRENT smokers who falsely believe vaping is more harmful

This guy is worse than Arsene Wenger for using this excuse...
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.
That's the image of hard as nails Barlow ruined. He was a very good actor though inevitably associated with Barlow. Such a popular character he appeared in three series. Z-Cars, Softly, Softly & Barlow at Large.

Gerd Müller, arguably the greatest pure goalscorer of all time, was born on this day in 1945.

He is the last player to have scored two hat-tricks in one World Cup (1970) and only Lionel Messi at Barcelona (672) has scored more goals at a top-level European club than Müller's 566 at Bayern Munich.
If there's a God then he/she/it will indeed know the answer is zero.
Just when Wednesday fans thought they could see some daylight ahead.
Yeah, that tends to happen when you're no longer in it 😜
Not just TV. This is the supposedly upmarket Herald last week
Try this, also from 1977. Six-part series with AJP Taylor just talking. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc77...

Now there would be a dazzling array of flashing images and a reminder every five minutes of what was said in the previous five.
The outbreak of the First World War. A.J.P.Taylor. How wars begin. 1977.

Would be interesting to hear Hannan, Carswell and Goodwin make their argument in front of say Johnson Beharry
While my wife planted raspberry canes I dived into a pub to escape the rain. £5 for an alcohol-free Guinness FFS. It's £3.20 in my local.
Classic big man, wee man up front. Need Tiffoney to show what he can do and loan keeper to prove his worth and we can end the losing run
Should point out she didn't go the same school.

AFAIK
Endless possibilities. I went to school with David Cameron and two Gordon Browns.

There's also the porn star Theresa May
Of course we'd just got off the bus when it started
Glorious sunshine this morning

My wife: "Might go to the allotment."

Me: "Think I'll go watch the egg-chasers"

The Heavens: "D'ye think so?"

#Monsoon
My God. That's almost eight weeks of advertising. Surely the most devout Xmas fan will have had enough by then?
