Leeds fans right now adding 2 + 2 and getting 5. #LUFC

Respectfully disagree with Josey. He got out maneuvered by Emery in an even game and we lost. The same happened v Forest, Dyche out thought him at 1-1. No one is hankering after Sean Dyche at Leeds, but it's not hard to find limited managers with better in game management than Farke. #lufc

This is one thing where honestly we have to return to a kind of vulgar communitarianism. That worldview is a fundamental betrayal of your community.

"leftwing" people who hate taxes should be punted deep underground, you are a waste of space without a single iota of exaggeration

You could blame a lack of entrepreneurship upon a lack of finance; too easy opportunities for rent-seeking or rentiership instead; high utility bills; etc. But no, Labour always has to punch down instead. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

My column in tomorrow's paper:

Cried laughing at this

Cackling at the idea of Offa casting his gaze around the globe and coming to the decision that the USA is most like Mercia

'Unclear how the US will respond to the return of Saxon England; we'll just have to Hwæt and see.'

Racist guy here saying non white British people aren't really British.

I'm still really pissed off about that team selection. WTF was Farke thinking? #lufc

1* did not wank the elephants. Good Morning.

Always a tough ask today. But concerning that Farke didn't see the need to have an outlet up front instead of Piroe. This was always a game for as many big athletic lads as possible, not Gruev. Also, prob a good idea to play the really dominant centre back we've bought for games like this. #lufc

Agree with Kevin. I think there’s a big chunk of the UK right now- and certainly all of the bits which control institutions- that are in complete denial a) about our ageing population and b) what the policy implications of the political choices they made 2010 to 2024 and indeed since *are*.

Don Revie died #OTD in 1989. Here speaking to Ken Wolstenholme about his role as a deep lying forward (False 9) in 1955. City got to the Cup Final but lost and Revie was named Footballer of the Year. He won the Cup with City in 1956 before leaving later that year after a fall out with management.

Letting unis go bust will be popular with voters right up until the economic and societal affects hit them square in the face. This is exactly why outsourcing politics to focus groups and those who cannot adjust from campaigning to governing is disastrous.

Amazing response. Every vox pop is “we vote for people but nothing changes” and the policy response from the brains trust in UK Labour is “what if we did …. less?”

a v prophetic Tumblr post from circa 2015 I think about a lot went something like "hey is it maybe bad that online I argue about why we need to stop erasing black transmasc genderqueer people from the non-binary movement and in real life I have to remind people that 'gay' isn't an insult"

On Farke, if the club have concerns about him in the PL and also concerns about him being a pillock wrt recruitment, then they should move on. No time for sentimentality. Clubs move on from players after promotion, the same should be true of coaches. #lufc

Back home now. Contrast me arriving in the Japans a couple of weeks ago vs me after two weeks in Japan.

Lost in translation, I hope.
