I met Ken Bates once. Neither down to earth nor funny. Gave me something of a ticking off in fact!

I call this one 'Goal kick in the arse end of Riga'.

'Hi there, Sean Bean. What you having for tea tonight?

Orla's come as Gladys Pugh! #TheBicycles

Hell's Bells. TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY. I thought Vinted was just about old shoes.

@thepatheticcasual.bsky.social Can confirm Cafe Beermoth has Augustiner on tap. Wallop.

Still can't really believe Tan Rewind Province didn't make it to the World Cup.

Did you miss this 'learning', @sammetcalf.bsky.social ?

This organisation is riddled with criminals, right from the top. And yes, all these stories come from local news outlets.

Drop a Cop

Matterface prepares to deliver his next cultural Japanese zinger.

Got to love a bit of Big Jed Coney on the ol' TMS.

@gidcoe.bsky.social's annual cycling themed show is always fun, excellent start here

Ahoy @williamshuttoh.bsky.social @theparisangel.bsky.social and any other old time cricketmen, just watched a cracking doc on youtube, 'The Fiery Summer' on Eng WI 76. Arlott narrating. Well worth the hour.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The world's largest tape loop.

Full Harald Schumacher would have been great banter there

Athapaththu's some player, saw her flay a great Aussie team on this ground nearly a decade back. Proper Bannerman knock.

FFS you Joe Mangel bastards.

Colossal win. Found a euromillions from early May i'd forgotten, L story S i'm now the proud owner of five pounds and sixty new pence.

VAR bastards in ref kit? Surely more fitting to be in IT guy-wear. Motley Crue tee, brown leather jacket, rampant BO etc.

Schedule is all wrong. First Sat of a World Cup is a pub day, preferably a ropy boozer near Warrington Central with @seanrostron.bsky.social and various other ne'er-do-wells.

You may see it as a goal but really it's just material for Jesse Marsch's half time Linkedin post.

Tony Blackburn, or as he's known in Burnley, Tony Bastard.

🎶 '...and that's what life's about' 🎶

Some insane times being set at the US college athletics champs. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Lovely insta post on Keith Piper from Brian Lara.

Sure, you've got yer Trumps, yer Farages, yer Darren Fletch Fletchers. But you know who's the ACTUAL worst? People who need a printed label on a Vinted buy. Scum.

Never found Newton & Ridley doing gooseberry & fig double IPAs did you. JUST SAYIN

Steve Gibson to lodge his appeal with the Court of BUT MUUUMMMM by 6pm.

Have you seeeeeen Tommy Walsh's Eco-House?

Proud dad day - both my daughters have donated blood this week. I know it's a small thing and many of you do it. But, as someone who owes their life to a transfusion, it means a lot. If you haven't donated recently but are allowed to, do look into it, maybe make an appointment www.blood.co.uk

Good grief.

Got the Trophy final on and just found myself shouting GARY WADDOCK the way yer man does ARCHIE GEMMILL

Stephen Hendry, The Crucible, 2005

Be great banter if Big Alan Hardaker hands Southampton a fine of a cool two thousand pounds.

I see Lancashire CCC are still an absolute sack of useless bastards.

Davide Bramati's hair is refusing to be intimidated by Marcel Kittel's. #Giro #SaladWars

Everyone likes it when the Brazil team has Alan, Fred etc etc. They should be made to do it forever. Just retrofit the nanes to existing players if need be. Rough schedule up to 2050: Les, Geoff, Ron, Ken, Gordon, Terry.

Christ, the Gola Alliance are rattling through the playoffs, final today?! Latics-Southend was in June last year.

Had a run with the dog, and as i had a Phoenix Nights rewatch last night, had Perfect Ten in the Jerry style in my head all the way round.

Totp til 8, then G-Garv from the vaults on sky arts, that's my Friday rule generally

It's a 10 on 10 recommend from me for this from @4hundredblows.bsky.social

The bat-eared goon in full flow.

'We think it'll do a bit early, Nass'

Out of shot. @williamshuttoh.bsky.social working the Capstan concession behind the Ladies Stand.

He don't not miss

Calais Campbell giving it another year, be still my beating heart.
