Dog walk in their coats. Listened to Blackstar and Aladdin Sane. Bowie genius such that you'd never know they were made 43 years apart. Me and the dogs never noticed the 94th day of rain! Lady Grinning Soul and Lazarus may have caused some alleged singing!

Today I am officially back into 34" waistband jeans, down from 38" 14 months ago. 21kg in weight lost. Bloody hell. Losing weight is expensive as it's 4 new pairs today from M&S!

A great listen....i may be biased though! #cfc

Waking up to yet another dismal cold and rainy day...come on February...buck your ideas up. Even the 'good for the garden' brigade must be sick of this.

#cfc observations: Epilogue: We, as usual, never do things easily. And yesterday was proof eternal of that. Hopefully our Lucky General LR learns that rotation can happen but to in a Maresca like big scale, 1..maybe 2 changes are all thats needed. Yesterdays finishing....

#cfc observations 3: I rarely boo and when I do its generally aimed above the players, and yesterday I kept quiet. LR is not being frog boiled slowly, he has been dropped in the boiling pan from scratch. But the mood in the bar was one of gallows ...

#cfc observations 2: Yes, 2.I did 1 and 1.5 yesterday in the back of a car driving me to the club to be quizmaster fro the 2nd half of the monthly quiz. Boy was I in a good mood. Lets start with the obvious (now) , the fact that the starting Xi which on paper look good enough...

#cfc observations 1 : more later or tomorrow. But fuck me if you didn't enjoy that then football isn't for you. The epitome of a game of 2 halves. 1st half stinking the ground out. 2nd half setting the ground alight. Fucking marvellous to be at. EnzoF my MotM...superb of late.

Fucking hell. Catherine O' Hara. Gorn. 71 ffs. #rip

And I have a garage roof leak. So rain is bloody unwelcome. It's a flat roof. What sort of moron came up with that idea? Flat ffs.....surely up there with the worst from the Ministry Of Crap Design.

I fucking hate January. And February to be fair. Absolute 'nothing' months filled with lack of sunlight, daylight and packed with rain and shit. I must look at somewhere nicer to go for winter than staying at home.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

Sprouts with dinner tonight lads.....

I am and have always been vehemently anti capital punishment.....but what I'm seeing in the US from the top down is sorely testing my convictions.

Red card. I like Wharton but deffo a second yellow ..now get Caicedo off #cfc #CRYCHE

BTW that was a lovely penalty #cfc #CRYCHE

I have the sense that Charity FC might be at Selhurst Park today instead of #cfc. We just look a bit fragile right now and Bagoshite in defence is never good.

That civil war thing I suspected might come. It's just moved even closer hasn't it? These new ICE 'brownshirts' are going to get royally fucked at some point I think.

Today. Full on manflu. Coughing up toffees. Muscles aching. Tired to near fatigue levels. Blocked and runny nose which in itself should be an oxymoron. I hate winter.

Never trust a Republican

Just saying.....

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... The only US politician with the balls to stand up to Orange Man Baby publicly. If he isn't the next Democratic president nominee then the US is doomed to global isolation and mistrust.

#cfc observations 2: Now LR.....I like he's not been branded with that awful touchline clobber. I like notes being passed to players. I like that he's communicative on and off the pitch. His media interviews are way ahead of EnzoM. He gets time, but even he must know..

#cfc observations 1: I haven't changed my mind, a win is a win. But it wasn't even a pig wearing lipstick. It was just a pig. Winning ugly is a form of art, Jose knew that, SAF knew that,but with them it was part of a plan as required. I sincerely doubt that was planned yesterday

1930s Germany in stars and stripes

#cfc observations Prologue : how on earth did we win? Average 1st half with 2 or 3 bug let offs for us. 2nd half was dismal. A dreadful showing from us. Lazy, apathetic, disjointed, disoriented, clueless and error strewn..Cole Palmer an anonymous passenger, penalty aside.

Today's workout album....Young Americans. Still a wow factor just as back in the 70s. Can You Hear Me is as good a soul record as anything done by any other artist. Just superb. #bowie

Yes in my view. Much better than the crock of shit it is now. Fuck defenders moaning about being disadvantaged. Be a better defender then.... www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

#bowie 10 years. 10 fucking years. For me the greatest ever musician, artist and person shuffled off this mortal coil quietly with very few knowing of his illness. He changed my life with his album Hunky Dory....lyrics I had to read and interpret...

It doesn't get any more Trumpian than this 'War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength'

The US today is 1984. 'And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'

America is 1984 especially after the Minneapolis Murder. 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command'

I've just seen the Minnesota video. It's an assassination. Plain and simple. America is now a police state. I have said it before but I still think it's edging towards a very bloody and damaging civil war or a Stasi style despotic run country.

#cfc observations 2: A few things to look at for LR now that EnzoM has gone. First, get to know the players, their desires, their worries, what they want to improve, , get honesty and frankness as the norm. Be their mentor, counsellor, boss, leader and friend when necessary..

#cfc observations 1: Nothing much to say about OneHalf FC (copyright @sirichkirby ). A dreadful 1st half from both teams, with a daft red card which stacked the cards against us. A chance for some to shine in front of LR, which only showed in a 2nd half fightback. Neto is way...

www.theguardian.com/football/202... Fantastic article

It's been a while but it's back in the collection.....

Welcome to #cfc Liam Rosenior. Unlike many I am prepared to judge you after a decent amount of time, so wish you good luck.

I remember the exact point I heard Bowie had died. On the way to work on the A272 in Winchester. Nicky Campbell actually said he could barely read the news..I had to stop the car and pull over. I rang my wife and could barely hold the emotion back. I spent that day in a daze.

Hats off to @Channel4 for Bowie : The Final Act. Very emotional and a worthy tribute to the greatest artist ever. A man who changed my life forever when I was a teenager. #bowie

The Bowie Glastonbury gig in 2000 is one of the finest that venue has ever seen. Even watching it now it could be last year. Timeless. Magnificent. Moving. The greatest artist of my life #bowie

This Bowie film is fucking great. Gary Kemp describes him as Britain's Elvis. Nice but wrong. He was much much more than that. Truly global megastar. #bowie

#cfc observations 1 : Frankly I'm too annoyed again. When you're singing 'how shit must you be, we're winning at home' and still your defence conspires to concede a soft goal then you know things aren't right in the squad with EnzoM. Maybe more tomorrow #marescaout

#cfc observations 2: No I'm not really any calmer. I watched some highlights and I'm sorry to say the collapse was worse than England's batters after a night on the shots. And heres the thing.....i can't even blame players aside from Bagoshite. He really is Championship level...

Wow. More me time.I've not heard this in full for...well I reckon it's over 40 years and then it got lost in house moves I suspect. Fabulous.

Me time

#cfc observations 1: Frankly I'm too annoyed to do sensible stuff tonight. But that collapse tonight was abysmal. Bagoshite at fault for first AV goal. But mad subs when we were still very much in the game compared to Emery tactically great subs ruined us.

Da fam blud innit

A little social media break methinks. Happy Christmas and New Year to you all, including those who don' t follow the Mighty Blues.
