Lapsed influencer. Geordie (*VERY*). Arty. Amicable. Nice. Previously did football for adidas, Nike, Puma, World Soccer, Guardian, NY Times, BBC.

RIP the great Billy Bonds. Fantastic lionheart, maybe the best ever uncapped English player. I once told him how much I wished he'd played for Spurs. Gave me a very old-fashioned look. What a man.

United were very good there, in a match that looked ripe for inflicting further pain. However, Tino and Hall’s return has been the catalyst for a very different looking side. With Thiaw and Burn (CB only) playing so well there’s a real platform for the team, and it showed. Miley gaining momentum.

He’s not quite burning on confidence, but he’s been extremely disciplined holding his defensive positions. Required because Grealish has tried to pull that side out of shape. Agree with Kev.
That was fucking class. Big moment for Elanga, he’s had his best half in a #nufc shirt and that finish from big Nick. Crazy good.

I’m not saying there’s a huge delay with FotMob’s updates, but I’ve just had an alert for Craig Bellamy’s goal at Feyernoord.

Weather is particularly disagreeable this afternoon after a decent start to the day. Nevertheless, the Gosforth Charity Shops have been as gladdening as ever. Brook Tavener shirt and Autograph wool coat with change from £16. Auld neck/whiskers: model’s own.

Look at Sunderland go! Can’t see my lot getting anywhere near them this season. Bravo!

Another good win for United’s under 18’s today. Low key progressing very well behind City’s Gold Standard.

Continues to be wild to me how few Labour MPs have absorbed that the Starmer-Reeves strategy is, and always has been “Plan A: Somehow the Major economy returned Plan B: Die”.
The tax rises in this Budget’s are backloaded.
They're largely kick in in what is likely to be a pre-election year, somewhat implausibly.

Serious howls of outrage in the media this morning at what is a relatively modest Budget from Labour that does nothing more than fiddle around the margins.
It does highlight the missed opportunity. If you’re going to get this reaction anyway, why not at least get it for attempting a big swing?

I think they’re playing 50 Shades of Grey on the telly. I genuinely have no idea. It might be Neighbours. Don’t know.
