1985 was a special year at Wembley stadium. March saw #NCFC pick up the Milk Cup. July saw Band Aid happen. I was at the first, not the second. I guess there are some out there who were at both.

This dude must dream of sandwiches every night..

I guess it depends in who the 2026 equivalent of Bob Geldof is and what his/her musical contacts are..

41 years on, just wondering who the headliners for Band Aid 2026 would be.. It's not like poverty & starvation have gone away.. ** Swift Sheeran Coldplay Metallica REM (reformed) McCartney ....

I repeat, don't fall for this Norwegian niceness. They are genetically disposed towards destruction.

Any #NCFC fans booked a few days in the Swiss Alps for some fresh air and a footy match?

Feels increasingly surreal that much of this country has been obsessed by the (alleged) murder of *Anne Widdecombe* for the past few days. Bizarre in every way.

Sam Neill is the answer. 😆 The hits keep coming.

He has all the empathy of a serial killer.

Big Phil and the #NCFC boys packing their suitcases for the trip to St. Gallen in Switzerland in the week ahead. Not too bad is it..

I know people are dying all the time (c'est la vie), but it does seem that a lot of famous/semi-famous ones are dropping of late. Every now and again, there's a 'spurt' of additional deaths of substance. Whose demise will we wake to tomorrow? 🤔

I'm not falling for this niceness. They are a brutal invading force who want to burn our towns and slaughter our children.. Always have, always will. #OnceAViking..

Happy 64th birthday #NCFC

Never reheat Rice.. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Thinking of this Norwegian bloke today who simply would not bow to the pressure to conform. As always in life, do your own thing.

10 years ago, there were 15 ENG managers & just 6 non UK/Irish ones in the Champ. 20 years ago, there were 0 non UK/Irish ones. 👋 to Tony Mowbray (I guess) who in 06/07 was at WBA, in 16/17 at Blackburn and 26/27 at Blackburn again!

Oops 😅

If you've ever clipped another car's wing mirror in the carpark and drove off without leaving your details, never again ask how Hitler committed crimes of aggression to engulf Europe in war. He became Fuehrer because people lost respect for the rules.

Nationalities of Championship 26/27 head coaches. How many will make it to Christmas? 😆 ** 10 ENG 3 POR 2 WAL 2 BEL (inc. #NCFC) 2 SCO 1 IRI 1 SWE 1 FRA 1 GER 1 ITA **

*1 year* ago today. The Liam Manning era at #NCFC was up and running with a kick-about vs Northampton at Colney. #FunnyOldGame

I went to Porto Montenegro to find out why so many Reform money men have businesses registered to a grubby looking office building a stone's throw from the luxury yachts on the glittering marina. Feat. me visiting my first casino. www.opendemocracy.net/inside-refor...

#NCFC fans: "Actually we'd like some beauty also please.."

#England and #WorldCup semi-finals - a short history.. ** 1966: Portugal 2-1 ✔️ 1990: Germany 1-1 ❌ 2018: Croatia 1-2 ❌ 2026: Argentina 🤔 **

Awkward!

I suspect Farage is enjoying the 'distraction' of Ann Widdicombe's death as it takes the media spotlight away from his own corruption & ludicrous by-election against @countbinface.bsky.social. He also gets to stir the pot about violence & divisiveness before the police have done an investigation.

Will certainly be listening to Craig Hope's expert opinions in future..

Russell Martin's career at Leicester began yesterday with a home training ground win vs Northampton. Word of warning. It's 1 year today since Liam Manning's #NCFC career began with a home training ground win vs Northampton..

It's been an extraordinary last few days of 'celeb' deaths. Widdecombe, Tyler, Bates, Murnaghan & now Trump acolyte Lindsey Graham. It cannot be long now until Trump and or Putin peg out and the world can breath more easily.

wow.

England have certainly been riding their luck in #WorldCup2026 but it's going to need Messi to pull a muscle and a whole lot more to get past 'the old enemy' of Argentina. Definite underdogs. Keeping 11 on the pitch would be beneficial - there will be provocation. Give it all you've got lads 👊

Must say that former #NCFC legend Christian Fassnacht hss been sensational on that Swiss bench all tournament.

What is happening?

QF win #4 🥳

I think Keir Starmer deserves a lot of credit for this England run to the semis. Would never have happened under Burnham.

Butter fingers for the winner 😬

Feel for Tetts right now. He will be gutted.

Come on you Swiss men. I can't take us playing the Argies again 🥴

Leif Erikson, Erik the Red, Roald Amundsen, Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Munch, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, the Nobel Prize Committee…your boys took a hell of a beating!

Jude Bellingham levels

"former England forward" (1 cap, came on with 10 minutes left) Chris Sutton is on BBC Sport duty again for tonight's match.

A much revered..ahem I mean reviled former Leeds owner/ chairman.. If you're a #NCFC fan, think Robert Chase with knobs on.

never a good thing when the words 'explosive' and 'diarrhoea' are placed next to each other..

Could get nasty.. 👇

No split loyalties tonight for this fella. #NCFC

Will the #NCFC Danish boys be cheering on Norway tonight? Is there a collective Scandinavian psyche which wants to see victory despite which country it is? Or do they all hate each other so actually would rather England win?

Anne Widdecombe AND Ken Bates. What a time to (not) be alive..

I honestly thought Ken Bates had died years ago. Turns out he'd just moved to the tax haven of his choice (Monaco)..

#NCFC WC heroes (5) still missing of course plus the unfit ones (6) from today's kickabout at Colney. Makama was the only one back. Kovacevic & Mundle-Smith also missing today. No attacking spark yet emerged. It is early of course.

wtf?
