The FA Cup Final programme starts on BBC with a montage of historic FA Cup games. Of course Ronnie Radford was shown but no clip of the actual Cup holders getting knocked out by a non-league team. Funny that eh? #nufc

I can't believe it was 2 years ago today that I saw GatesheadFC lift the FA Trophy, time flies etc etc. Always my second team as I was growing up, #NUFC always first love of course but will never forget the good times during 82/83 season

Just started reading this and am surprised how the much the reference to Richard III raised my hackles😮 HistBookChat

The Costain 4 book history of the Plantagenets (published 1950's) are very, very entertaining and very, very readable. Suspect most professional historians are sniffy but I personally enjoyed them. #HistBookChat

I keep getting shiny toilet paper pushed through my letterbox from that party made up of Jew haters, misogynists, celebrators of Hamas violence, Gaza obsessives, druggies, Islamist extremists, frauds and human biology deniers. Stop it already FFS my recycling bin is overflowing @greenparty.org.uk

Reform voter? Know who you're voting for act.labour.org.uk/p/reform-rev...

Back home in the north east for a few days and have found out the bus fare cap is £2.50 in Tyne and Wear whereas down south it is £3. All young people under 21 pay a max fare of £1 regardless of distance. Is this one of the benefits of having a Labour regional mayor? I suspect so.

My latest bulk second hand book raid. A 4 volume history of the Plantagenets from Henry II to Richard III. I'd never heard of Thomas B Costain previously. Seems a very readable series aimed at the general reader. #HistBookChat

My local working men's club is being crippled by business rates. Another 20p increase in a pint, second in a year. Does the Labour government actually hate the idea of the working class going out and supporting their pubs and clubs. They're making it easy for drinkers to support Reform.

A real elite team would have ripped them a new you know what and we'd be looking at double figures. Not sit back and relax and invite a team like this to come at them #nufc

2-0 up on the night and 8-1 on aggregate. So why am I feeling so annoyed the way we've sat back since the 2nd goal. Can't please some folk 😜 #nufc

Qarabag are so much improved this second half I'm wondering if they've been threatened at half time with recruitment into the Russian army in Ukraine 🤔 #NUFC

To be fair to the Qarabag keeper he has made a fair few saves or it might be 7 or 8 by half time. His defence is a wreck but he's been their best player 😂 #NUFC

Anthony Gordon got his hair cut and became a world beater #NUFC 👍

Good news but we need much more push back on HMO's from the council. Hope that "tables may be turning" on Guildford street that has "lost its character" due to HMO influx | Surrey Live share.google/j0oKJUHWk0sC...

If only council civil enforcement officers would visit my part of west Guildford they could make the council an absolute fortune in PCN's. Fuckers here park wherever they like including junctions etc BBC News - 'I don't want pavement parking endangering my child' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I never want to hear the fucking word Hereford at FA Cup third round time of the year ever a fucking gain #nufc

Rocking my Huddleston Yorkist roots today thanks to Gemini

#NUFC I will echo just about everyone - it was a hard watch but thankful for the 3 points. However - 1. We made Burnley look good which is very worrying 2. I feel there may be some of our big hitters signaling they don't really want to be here anymore. The team needs a rebuild basically.

#NUFC I've been noticing that quite often when Gordon gives the ball away he'll fall over clutching his ankle. Also all the opposition needs to do is press us hard and we will collapse. Blood pressure sky high again watching us sit back on a lead.

I missed the first 10 mins of the #nufc game tonight. Excited to see us 2 up. However......how the hell did that happen? Burnley have been all over us 🤔

A nice little pre Christmas treat picked up at a 2nd hand book shop. Half way through and very readable. Post civil war not a great area of knowledge to me tbh and don't know much about Graham of Claverhouse apart from he died winning Killikrankie. An excellent find. #HistBookChat

Latest Kindle purchases: Bio of William Hastings, Edward of York's right hand man, the siege of London no one knows about and the downfall of the rightful royal family at the hands of the Tudor tyrant. That's me sorted for the next few weeks #HistBookChat

I don't normally go online to whine and moan but we were so slow and complacent against a team struggling it was jaw dropping. Some of our star players need to have a long look in the mirror as this is not a one off this season #nufc

Haha this is so it 😂😂😂

I feel emboldened by today, but Gordon has not been the player we all fell in love with. I have never been a boo boy and never will but it's the old question of will a manager play a fave rather than who's in form. Hopefully he shoves this down my throat (ooer) #nufc

Gordon. A conversation needs to be held. Long term not just this WHU game by any stretch #nufc

Just gone fishing

The British Labour Party is stuck between far right Trump loving xenophobes and far left Britain hating islam loving jihadists. What times we live in.

Gone fishing for little green tiddlers 😂

Totally agree with kicking back against the Green Party. They are not our friends or comrades.

@guildfordhoward.bsky.social Town bridge on Saturday. Green party chap holding up an anti reform placard near them. I went over and had a chat and said I agreed with him. We had a nice convo until I said I was Labour. He went a wee bit cool then 😂

I just got the bus from Farnham to Aldershot and every single lamp post on the way, and in the town has a union flag. I think they look beautiful 🇬🇧

@backbridget.bsky.social I'm going to Back Bridget. A fellow alumni of St Robert's comp in Washington - although she was a few years behind me.

Imagine my surprise as a man whose family goes back 200 years working in the Durham coal mines to find out through ancestory dot com that I not only descend from John of Gaunt (and therefore his kingly father) but through two of his Beaufort children. #history #familyhistory #beaufort #ancestory

Three recommendations if you're into fifteenth century English history. The Matthew Lewis and Philippa Langley titles in have really made me reassess my views on Richard III's guilt. Shadow King made me feel sorry for that sad fool Henry of Lancaster, poor sod never stood a chance. #HistoryBookChat

The mighty Guildford City found themselves 0-2 down but fought back to claim a good point with a 2-2 draw. Photos will be posted later #football

First Guildford City game of the season. Match photography incoming later this evening. Unless I get drunk later then it will be in the morning

Imagine my surprise to see this in my local WHSmith down in deepest Surrey. It might be naff but it has to be bought regardless #NUFC

Unbelievable. Absolutely unhinged

How exactly does this help the ordinary Palestinian? It's all performative. Middle class liberals have given up on their own working classes as being not sufficiently biddible and therefore look elsewhere to make themselves feel righteous.

The perils of DHGate 😂😂😂#NUFC

Too many Palestine activists are simply unhinged. Good on the Met on this occasion. BBC News - At least 365 arrests at Palestine Action ban protest www.bbc.com/news/article...

I don't care what other parties do but Labour should take a stand. All our MP's need to divest themselves of rented properties if they want to be Labour MP's. Four Labour cabinet ministers earn rental income, analysis finds www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The last month feels like #NUFC have regressed to how things used to be for us. Incompetent and hopeless. We can't allow Liverpoo to force a sale at less than market value just because Isak has downed tools. If this is really it for Isak we should not allow him to use nufc facilities to train

I don't think Rushanara Ali should just lose her ministerial position, she should resign her seat in the commons. I'm very angry about this scandal. My position is if you are a private landlord who wants to stand as a Labour candidate then you can jog on.

Post of the day 🤦‍♂️

About time too. Well done for keeping your promise Kier Starmer.

More from Saturdays Durham Miners Gala. One of the hottest gala days I can ever remember #DurhamBigMeeting #Durham #DurhamMinersGala
