Considering we had a strong bench and played better after the subs, it feels especially naive

The #lufc left hand side is softer than a Creme Egg. Can’t remember a goal that didn’t come from bypassing Okafor and Gudmundsson with ease

Big gap between midfield and attack before he went off. Nmecha looked isolated
November 23, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Gudmundsson’s error in the lead up to the second goal by the way

Not subbed off. Just be better as part of a defensive unit

Not enough to make up for the goals conceded from that side

Hadn’t even thought about how long the postcard had been in the frame or when it had been slipped in. More intrigue

That’s entirely possible and, dare I say, likely.

Good point. I can picture Linda going to a public/independent school tbh

Will have to read up on it. Actually used to work with McIntyre but never got round to reading any of his stuff

Very interesting, thanks David. It’s still fairly dirty and pretty unreliable so good to know nothing has changed
November 22, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Good intel. I had no idea
November 22, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Thanks Elsie. John, there’s a Leyton connection too! Would love to get your thoughts
November 22, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Good idea. I’ll walk in the next time I go past

O level or A level feels like a good shout. Maybe more the latter since it doesn’t feel like 16/17 year old?

One in Leytonstone

Sounds terrible and great at the same time
November 21, 2025 at 10:51 PM
Fair assumption I’d say
November 21, 2025 at 10:06 PM
Interesting. Are you Uk based? Mind if I ask your age range? I thought older than 17 but based on food review and Gorbachev comment but might be underestimating
November 21, 2025 at 10:03 PM
That would be a helluva turnup!
November 21, 2025 at 9:53 PM
Makes sense. Could even be that Linda has passed away, certainly would be old enough.

Picked it up in Leytonstone which isn’t very near the Northern Line at all (Old Street would be closest). Suggests someone has moved eastwards over time, perhaps as they got older?

@mmasnick.bsky.social let’s see if Bluesky has the same juice as old skool Twitter

This is all speculation, of course, and there might have been another reason it never made it to her parents.

Either way, it’s a fascinating relic for a time before I was born. I’d love to find Linda, ask her some questions if she’s still around and reunite her with it
