Superb thread on the hubristic tragedy of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, an institution that got so much right only to then get everything wrong 👇#COYS

Spurs' great captain, Danny Blanchflower, born 100 yrs ago today. Tonight, against Newcastle, we'd do well to recall his words: "The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom". #COYS

This guy *insisted* we watched this. Who am I to argue with him?

Merry Christmas to me! Thanks as ever to @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social for these Christmas crackers

Ridiculous that they're being asked to remove a progress flag (and agreeing to do so) at all, let alone in their *own stadium*. UEFA and football clubs show support when it suits them but when it comes down to real issues like this, they don't follow it up.

what it feels like watching the draw

Football in Berkshire is 10 in March. We'd love to celebrate with a nomination for the FSA awards. It would mean an awful lot to us. There's a specific non-league award (#12) we're aiming for. The nomination form is here: https://bit.ly/4nWIjAd

Woody on holiday at Mullion FC (a). A glorious place to watch a match. @nonleaguedogs.bsky.social

Before you ask why Arteta didn’t drop the footballer in 2022 when he first became aware of this, it’s important to remember that the footballer is a good footballer and Arteta really wanted to win some football matches

@dannykellywords.bsky.social how are you feeling sir? I broke my glasses in and embrace with friends. What an evening. What a club!

Urban morning bird song. The chime of a Lime Bike that has not been paid for

Basking in the post Europa League win and Doves gig glow, these arrive. Weekend listening sorted! Thanks as ever to @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social what a lovely chap

Spurs win and Doves sing. What a win and what a gig!

There is always treasure in @101records.bsky.social and what treasure! Thanks as always for the excellent service and Merry Christmas guys

Been a looooong old time since going to a gig. Lovely stuff. Certainly helped remedy a difficult afternoon of a broken work laptop and burning my arm on the oven.
