About as reasonable an awkward chuff as you are ever likely to meet. Life, politics, #lufc and quality beer smothered in unsubtle sarcasm.
So for no better reason of still being half-cut from my post 3rd equaliser #lufc celebration, I'm going to create a thread of bits of the lyrics of the tracks I'm listening on my train South. So you lucky people can guess the track. Starting with "take my confidence to guide you".

Yes, it's eager. Yes, it's censorious. But it has the very considerable advantage of not being fascist.

Leaving home at 7.30 am for a 5.30pm kick-off seems slightly weird, but I'm sure I'll find something to do with that extra 150 pre-match minutes... #lufc

Gutting. Their will be a lot of talk about the second half performance, which was decent, but when have we put in a full 90 minutes this season (or even a 60 minute)? Nothing changes re threat of relegation, it happens if we stick with DF, it probably happens if we don't. #lufc

I tend to find the most objective data is the score at FT. I also know you under-estimate the power of supporters observations at your pearl (would love to know which 6 games DF is referring to?).
DF: "If you judge objective data, we were in six games the better side, but without the points. More individual quality, means moments like Rogers's on Sunday or a perfect tackle. I said what we needed in the summer to be competitive. I said I will not complain once about the window." #lufc

That’s the right way round for a labour budget.

On #lufc matters, it is quite reasonable to be pleased for Farke on a personal level that he isn't yet unemployed and still expect as a consequence us to be 19th by the Brentford game, heading for the Championship and replicating the same mistakes made in 22-23 with Marsch!

Although the bonus ball of today's OBR cock up is how it royally exposes how our Parliament is unfit for purpose and how the Speaker system is still trying to impose Victorian attitudes on a 21st century world. Pathetic and getting more so by the day.
Although even I wasn't expecting them to do it quite so spectacularly.....
It doesn't matter what rabbits Reeves pulls out of the bag today, the children in the Government press corps and the off the record chirpers will lose control of the news agenda by 1pm.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If you are not following @btngnrtn.bsky.social you should be. A consequence of relegation will be our hedge-fund owners bailing and Red Bull happily stepping in on the cheap. #lufc
Colombia's Deportivo Cali confirms conversion from fan-ownership to PLC and presents a new board of directors, completing IDC Network's takeover. #lufc

2nd lowest scorers in the PL 25-26 (average 0.9 goals a game), 4th most conceded (average 1.8 goals a game). Points average also 0.9. Regardless of your Farke position, it is very clear that our approach (play long, press a bit, rely on dead balls) isn't working. And won't work next 3 games. #lufc

In the cold light of day the case for retaining Farke looks even less sustainable but as I indicated yesterday I don't believe our hedge-fund owners could find anyone skilled enough to improve the lacking squad they botched putting together over the summer. #lufc

Something that gets missed this season is that whenever we flood the forward line for the last 20 minutes of a home game, like Spurs and today with Villa, we create bugger all shots on target! #lufc
