ATTENDANCE: Clapton Community v New York International - 781 http://fwp.co/pZtYsN

Penultimate game of local cricket today before football returns in a fortnight. I can't tell you how good for my mental health the last 10 weeks have been finding these 3 clubs. Being able to get out and watch a bit of hard fought sport has saved me from 3 months of boredom. 🏏 🌞

I left the party 5 years ago, I have sent multiple emails asking them to delete my details. Just got this

1st August @londontom.bsky.social ?

Bought a football club today. Well, a piece of 1. I'll never vote, unless they do something silly, eg change their crest and remove the motto, & I'll probably only get to 5 games a season. Feels good to be involved in a club that is really going places and doing it the right way @claptoncfc.co.uk

As its Friday, I'm in a go hard or go home kind of mood. Cheers All 🍻

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

Superb news. My season starts 1st August & I'm back at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social for @claptoncfc.co.uk 1st foray into Step 5/10. I simply cannot wait. & I'll be an owner by then. #NonLeagueIsTheBestLeague

Please check in with your sisters, daughters, nieces and mums. All the women in your life. Some blokes are shit and Domestic Violence will happen tonight. Be a proper bloke and be there for them if they need you.

Said when he was hired it was a mistake, giving him a 2 year extension before the world cup was laughable. But what do i know? I only go to 50 games a season. I can't possibly understand football

There is no way that A) a team that contains Porro can be good enough to win the world cup and B) a team that contains Cucurella deserves to win the world cup.

My birthday isnt until October, but because I am a man of a certain age & comfortable I always ask for money early so I can get my #Rebels season ticket. I have a little left over so might just treat myself to this absolute beaut of a shirt. #VamosRayo

Matterface and Dixon on comms.

Odd day. Hodge in the supermarket & now 3 obviously Extremely wealthy/posh lads in the beer shop. With views on immigration & women that has better educated language, but would be quite at home at a Y@xley L£nnon rally. On the Holloway Rd! Im retreating to the flat to watch cricket & eat sardines

Someone losing their job is not something I normally celebrate. I'll make an exception in this case. Hes been a disaster for redball www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Extremely discombobulated seeing Margaret Hodge doing her weekly shop in the supermarket. Took a lot of restraint not to say anything. Thought about adding something very expensive to her trolley though

If its the Swiss, I can keep up my boycott. If its the Argies, I'm going to have to watch it. 13 year old me has been waiting 40 years for justice

Last time at North Midd and this game will over quickly. 63 for 9

Easy. Stop Ødegaard. Haaland cant score if he doesn't have the ball and while everyone worries about him, it's Ødegaard that pulls the strings and makes the chances www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Love fixture release day. @haringeyboroughfc.bsky.social and @claptoncfc.co.uk should be about a week

End of a sweltering week. This is very welcome. Cheers 🍻

The danger of using voxpops in place of real analysis. Cameras are a magnet for motivated activists. These two made it into four different reels + a dozen print pieces. The illusion is that we're getting an insight into "Clacton voters". In truth, we just know what Farage Megastans Jim & June think.

One of the best days of the year. The planning can start, the excitement can really start to build. 1 month till Kick Off. #OneSlough

Day 5 of +30° and today has been the most brutal. 2 more days to go. I can almost handle the heat through the day, but the +20° at night has been really unpleasant. Can't believe I'm looking forward to 28° on Sunday as a bit of relief.

I have no skin in the game here, but if I did & I were an Essex member I would A) question the choices I made in life to bring here and then B) Vote for the @thegrumbler.bsky.social, a man that genuinely cares about his county and the sport as a whole. #VoteGrumbler

Insane concentration of cricket clubs. Hornsey, Crouch End and North Middlesex are on the right and in the premier division, North London bottom left, Highgate above them and the pitch in the middle is North Londons 2nd pitch. It's not Surrey, but I havent been short of a cricket game this summer.

British drama school training is the envy of the world and, as more film + TV jobs are moving to the UK, our drama schools are the backbone of a global industry. These cuts are artistic vandalism and economic stupidity.

I don't know how State of Grace has passed me by all these years, but Penn and Oldham acting their socks off is right up my alley

Only been able to go twice, because it falls in alevels/clearing, but it's my favourite festival on the circuit and this kind of thing fills me with joy. Much more please

I can honestly say this is the best thing I've cooked all year. And because everything bar the parmesan & wine are store cupboard it's also 1 of the thriftyest. I'll be cooking this at least once a month from now on www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes...

In the year 2026, there is a certain set of Americans soccersplaining the rules of football to Europeans on the Internet and I just can't

Jordan Henderson didn’t play and has somehow been yellow carded and stretchered off.

London is greatest city on the planet, & with the exception of SE11, North London knocks the hell out of all other parts of it. & Wolf Alice just smashed their homecoming North London gig. Life affirming stuff.

Was intrigued/fascinated to see/hear if The Last Dinner Party could translate live. Over the moon report they are fucking brilliant

Wolf Alice in a bit. Lykke Li, Last Dinner Party 1st

Going to try to enjoy today, 1st outdoor gig of the summer, before it gets really unpleasant for the rest of the week

Either the wind is in the wrong direction or Finsbury Park have turned the decibels down. Could hardly hear The Bif last night and only getting hints of Kasabian tonight. The 2nd is quite welcome, but going to have to hunt down a sweet spot tomorrow when I'm there for Wolf Alice

new metaphor just dropped

The greatest Mexico v England tweets you will ever read. 😂 As you were.

Fair play to FIFA acting quickly and moving the Mexico v England game once they realised ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶s̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶l̶u̶c̶r̶a̶t̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶E̶u̶r̶o̶p̶e̶a̶n̶ ̶T̶V̶ ̶a̶u̶d̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶g̶u̶r̶e̶s̶ there were potentially dangerous thunderstorms.

You wait weeks for positive football news, and then you get get 2 on one day #WeAreHaringey

This amazing fan owned football club will make its FA Cup debut this season. Can I dream of them making it far enough to draw the Rebels in the later qualifying rounds? Yes I can. I know more than a few #RebelsOnTour that would love a visit to @oldspotteddog.bsky.social

End of the week. This very much needed. Cheers 🍻

Failure in the Last 16. Thats more how I remember it

Superb start from England! #ENGIND

4 days till pre-season! If the Left Back is done, then get on with it and announce it. All this delay does is encourage the feeling that it's fallen through and we've been gazumped. This whole summer so far has been a masterclass in how not to do PR/Marketing. 1/2

Absolutely splendid use of the character limit 👏

Stunning news. Have wanted to see @thecoral.bsky.social again since my 1st post lockdown gig when "Pass It On" reduced me to tears at Ally Pally. Just timing/gigs never worked out. But playing close to my B'Day at Koko that I can get a 15 minute bus to has made my week! GET IN!!! 1/2
