My latest for @tfnufc.bsky.social - on the latest legal developments and why they don’t really matter to #NUFC

Man City, the Premier League, associated party transactions, and NUFC (again...)

Villa away tomorrow. Can’t be as bad as this from 2021. Can it?

My latest for the mighty @tfnufc.bsky.social

Nobody works at #NUFC. So let’s hold on to what we have. That means Isak.

Don't sell Isak (whoever you even are...)

A crucial article. Gazans have names, talents, prospects & dreams. Yet, we get only cold statistics & photos of malnutrition.

Read their stories. Share them.

Don’t pity them. Respect them. They’re like us. They’re like the Oct 7 victims, too. They’re people.

My latest for @tfnufc.bsky.social.

A tribute to Callum Wilson, a worthy - and damn good looking - NUFC number nine.

Farewell, Callum Wilson

On the pointlessness of transfer chat, and how I can’t wait for it to all be over.

Seems inappropriate to use Wembley for this lower league tripe. A geographically convenient neutral ground would be fine. In this case they could have used York’s LNER Community Stadium, or possibly Valley Parade.

Mikel Arteta has managed, in a very short space of time, to turn Arsenal from being the least objectionable of the so-called “Big Six”, to the most.

Some boy.

Stuff I couldn’t care less about:

The Oscars
The honours system
Smash burgers
The transfer “rumour mill”
House renovations
Fantasy football

What’s your list?

The bad news is it’s back to work tomorrow.

The good news is we won’t have to put up with nonsense such as “egg-cellent” and “egg-citing” for another eleven months or so.

I’ll take it.

This list irritates me every time I see it.

Option 1 is nonsensical: there is no scenario in which you’d unsubscribe but still want to receive the emails. Option 2 involves an unavoidable lie: you must have signed up to the mailing list at some point.

This shouldn’t annoy me but it does.
