It was a tape, from Woolworths by Victoria Station.

This is how I'm going to look every time someone dislikes one of my posts

Look at the SIZE of that scotch egg

Now a major motion picture.

Lincoln play at the LNER Stadium - so no doubt that irritating Muppet will be prominent. But that's enough about [insert own joke here]

Outside Summerhall and about to see my final show of #EdFringe for 2025. Seen some great shows this year: Refuse (my #1 this year) Blaze FM When We Were Young Wankernomics Iago Speaks Tim Key David O'Doherty Sad Gay Aids Play Paul Campbell: The Lost Tapes of Somerfield

Just seen Refuse, Assembly George Sq. Moving and powerful. Incredible performances. Vasyl, Maria and Lucy all superb. See it while you can. #EdFringe

More #Edfringe today. Saw the amazing Alfie Cain (ex Chelsea youth) in 'Dropped', giving us an unflinching view from inside the brutal machine that is youth pro football. Brilliant writing, brilliant performance, eye-opening story

I've broken my #EdFringe duck: The Imitator at Assembly Checkpoint is fantastic - Julian Fontalvo is an incredible singer and storyteller. Great show.

TBF this will look class on the front of the shirt. Big move into the grey fashion market. Smart.

Crowded House, Weather With You. I can't explain it, but it enrages me.

Absolutely tragic so far. A nothing team playing nothing football

I've had more intense meditations than that first half performance.

What's so depressing about that first half is that is how they are supposed to be playing. This is what we're aiming for. This is the system. This is it working.

For making Horace go skiing

Whenever the opportunity arises I answer Don Estelle in response to a question about arts or culture: "Who was the guy in [film, play, TV series, advert...]" or "Did you hear who is touring as the new lead singer of Queen?". And yes, I'm aware he's been dead for over twenty years

Well that was a dreadful challenge on Mateta.

Not great. First twenty minutes showed how we should play, last seventy back to the turgid usual.

Awww Trev

Dreadful decision. Penalty all day long, especially as given on the field. No way VAR should have overturned that

Headlines that make me think of Winstanley and Stewart, #1 in an occasional series

They're scared of their own shadow.

I see Jon Lewis has revealed there will be a thorough review of the women's Ashes performance

🎶 We coulda been anything that we wanted to be, the decision was ours 🎶

Paging @thexbomb.bsky.social

Now that's a great pseudonym

Chels applying the 'New Yorker' tactic so far: "I'm walking here"

Whilst we're all on the Trev train again, here's a wee article on his special place in my heart the-chelsea-social.co.uk/2024/08/31/t...

Good thread @dmitry.mclachbot.com Mostly agree too. Except where I really, really don't 🤣

Looking forward to the coordinated briefings tomorrow about Gyokeres and Alfonso Davies. It's quite bad so they might even go Wirtz

Poor second half performance. Overall Fulham deserved the win, unfortunately. Maresca's unwillingness to use his bench tells you how genuinely deep our squad really is

It's been coming, sadly

Palmer: fantastic

That's a fantastic pass by Tielemans. Superb goal. Villa look the more dangerous side by far.

Lovely. Once we wiped the butter off our boots we were the better side

Poor from Colwill

Ratcliffe may be the worst owner of the lot. When he was sniffing about Chelsea I always thought he was an egotistical time waster, so I'm not surprised Catdiesel has turned out to be awful in practice (even if Amorim is a v good appointment)

That was fun. First half an hour could have been anything, last hour was a procession.

My Lord, this could be a long and weird night

Very good performance. Enjoyed that. Fair play to Maresca: we didn't fetishise playing out from the back today and he put a pretty effective XI on the pitch, no passengers.

FT: deserved to win despite TNT Sport wanting it to seem a more even game than it really was. Madley with a typical PGMOL performance, awful. Leicester pure relegation fodder but we still managed to give them hope, so still not quite good enough from us.

HT: decent but after the Leicester yellows we seemed to be a bit more tentative and have given a genuinely crap team hope. Caicedo's yellow has the feeling of one shown in the MOTD highlights - and you know what that means.

1) Nice goal, good work by Nico and a lovely finish 2) Leicester aren't very good

Weird line up. Palmer off the left? Cucu at...right back, inverting? Or Wes at RB? It's all a bit suboptimal

Ballack: perfect Chelsea player. Super Slav: ahead of his time Tony Dorigo: quicksilver Chappie Ferrer: brilliant, underrated
