1:30 am in Boston. -13C hotel bar is shut. Time for my big coat

Madness, although sometimes bar staff could do more to dissuade this. But, if you're stupid enough to queue, don't get angry at me when I walk straight up to the empty space at the bar and get served.

Love the Bill Nick flag COYS

Getting the DLR to City Airport for the Frankfurt flight. Hope the destination isn’t a bad omen 🥴

Yesterday while watching Franks latest pathetic attempt at getting 3 points from relegation fodder it was a sunny day and as mild as it gets in these parts in January. Today when I hoofed it up Stoodley Pike from Hebden Bridge it was pissing down, zero visibility and blowing a hooley.

Has he gone yet. Missed my train at Burnley had to wait an hour for another one 😖

Completed v tough parkrun in Halifax. Now to prepare for Dr Tottenham’s appearance up the road in Burnley

Loved seeing Oderbert rinse Dortmund in the first half. Hated seeing us play a low block against 10 men in the 2nd

Get on that plane Pape. Training in the morning🤔

Let’s hope we see a second statement in 2 days from Vinny the Gooner

He’s gotta go. How can you survive this? #Frankout

Shocking Parkrun time this morning. I should go back on the beer again

WHITE HART LANE, 1985. A quiet, black-and-white portrait of an old ground: fans on standing terraces, newspapers folded, radios humming, fashion unmistakably 1980s – football paused, patient, and deeply human. lowerblock.com/featured/whi... #THFC #WHL #COYS

Play up Pompey!

Martin Chivers was a heavyweight Spurs legend with the heart of a poet

RIP the great Martin Chivers. For 3 years (71/72/73) he was as good as any striker in Europe, and I idolised him. He is up there with Kane, Son and Greaves. Commiserations to his loved ones. Full tribute on @vftlpodcast.bsky.social tomorrow.

Terrible news about Martin Chivers. Childhood hero along with Big Pat 😢

Hey Ryan I know of a possible future job opening, just saying cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/other-epl-ne...

40 years ago.... Never forgotten.

We not really in a position to laugh at West Ham 😂

This is the team of Hoddle, Ardiles, Gazza, Bale et al & I stood in the freezing cold at Brentford last night fuming at the total dog shit football our team were offing up. Disgrace

For old times sake

Only Spurs can win their first major trophy in decades then get rid of the: Manager Captain Winning Goal Scorer And Chairman In just over 6 months from the final 🤦🏻 Have they put the trophy on eBay yet?

Shambolic performance by Spurs. This isn’t Brentford

Just did my Xmas shopping. Took me half an hour. Slowing down in my old age.

Just been to the 2nd night. Can’t argue with this review. Amazing show. www.rollingstone.co.uk/music/live-r...

Spurs fans having to cheer on Chelsea in order to try and stop Arsenal winning the title is real bad old days stuff that should never have returned.

He’s Toast

What was the Ash Phillips row about earlier? Sound was down in the pub.

Looking at the warm up Gray is lining up in the centre of defence. Possibly like the Dier role of dropping in defence when out of possession and stepping up into midfield when we are in possession

If you bat like it’s a Sunday afternoon 20 over beer match in an Ashes test match, then it doesn’t matter how good your bowlers are.

Set my alarm for 5:30 to catch a fair bit of the test match before work. What a shambles.

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea. UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations. Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies. Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis. UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

I met Tony Galvin at an event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 84 UEFA Cup win a while back. A genuinely engaging and very funny speaker. He was also a vital part of the Burkinshaw team I used to enjoy watching a lot more than the current mob. Got well soon Tony.

Zero tolerance for anybody who can’t see that Harry Kane is simply the best striker (& no 10) of his generation. Caneldo would have 2-3 Ballon Dors to his name

No problems avoiding the freezing cold, tasteless, fizzy pop our convict friends down under laughingly call beer, but abstaining from Aussie wine for the duration of the Ashes may be a challenge. ‎<This message was edited>

Just sold the Tesla. Shame it was a great car

So Udogie and Oderbert boss the left side. Square pegs in square holes. Both left out. 🤷‍♂️

Imagine you were on the beach at Hastings in 1066, and saw that fateful arrow fly into Harald’s eye. You turn to Guillaume the Conqueror and give him $2.5 MILLION. His eyes bug out. You pile up an extra $2.5 million Every Single Day since then. You still don’t have a trillion dollars.

Homo Sapiens emerged about 300,000 years ago. Imagine you gave an early Sapiens $9,000. And they looked at you and said “the fuck is this?” But anyway, you piled up $9,000 Every Single Day since the first Sapiens walked the Earth. You still wouldn’t have a trillion dollars. Capitalism is fucked

It looks like my question to Vinai at the Fans Forum has hit the spot @abysstalks.bsky.social

Show that Van de Ven goal to all those who talk up set piece coaching and it being the future of football. Give me that beautiful unstoppable chaos every week.

Still not stopped at the new station near Chelmsford that cost £M+++ and has caused endless rail bus replacements over the last couple of years

Met 2 blokes earlier from Sweden & N Ireland on a pilgrimage to Spurs. Sorry chaps

We were complete and utter shite.

I don’t get the faux outrage about lack of football on Boxing Day. I HATE Boxing Day football. As somebody who actually goes to the match rather than sitting on my arse watching the telly, I know just what a challenge travelling to a match on Boxing Day is. Good riddance.

This is fabulous
