Back in 2018 I did a little film with Mundial magazine and Ladbrokes about #swfc. It disappeared off YouTube. I've just managed to find it through an old Mundial tweet. 💙 #SheffieldWednesday

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Choir singing carols. Xmas tree lights on. Jolly cheers.
Jon Craig on Sky: It's huge, more colourful, a better tree than we've seen in recent years. If I were to make a cynical point, I wonder if the PM is thinking whether he'll be switching it on next year.

Lowest ever Championship points total was Rotherham in the 2016/17 season. They got 23.
There are 84 points left to play for. We need 34 points to beat Rotherham's total.
I believe we have found our new goal. #swfc

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…
