Genuinely sad to hear of the passing of Jesse Jackson. He was with MLK when he was shot and I remember his tears the night Obama was elected. A giant in this age of pygmies.

@kenbarkway.bsky.social @heavenlyblue007.bsky.social @paulcrowder.bsky.social Just finished Ian Leslie's "John and Paul: A Love Story in Songs". I loved it and found it really moving. The story of the love between two best friends told in their songs, ending on Here Today. Some great new insights.

Job done. Excellent in the second half.

Wonderful strike. That's shut Shearer up!

Laurel and Hardy on commentary tonight?🙄

Can we handle a snowy Friday night in Hull?😬

So we wear our home kit against Hull City, who play in amber and black, but not against Wolves, who play in the same colours?🤷‍♂️

Oh for fuck's sake....

My word! A first half hat trick for Palmer💙 Wolves look completely shattered.

I'm not going to moan about that. Stayed in the tie until the final minute. Gave a late goal away when we we throwing it all at the other end. Onwards and upwards.

On the platform at Fulham Broadway and a mahoosive cheer goes up. 💙

What do we need?☺️

Will this fecking commentator stop giving us minute by minute updates on our position in the "table"? None of it matters until the games are over🙄

We certainly need a second now😬 Awful time to go behind🙄

Good Lord. Whiteout in Denver. NFL in a blizzard.

No complaints there. Excellent performance all round. Navigated what could have been a tricky cup tie very well. Good start for the new fella. Big test comes on Wednesday though.

My word😯

Someone's changed Gittens' batteries...

Who's going to be first with the Nathan Jones gag then?😂

Good grief. Wonderful stuff. In a world of sportswashing and corporate bollocks, THAT is what football is all about...

Woah woah woh, woah woah woh!😂

Thought Wilson ran back from offside at the start of that move.

A cracking pub, as I'm sure @terry-neighbour.bsky.social would testify!

This evening I will mostly be hiding behind the sofa😳

Probably my favourite Christmas song, because I used to do it a lot. RIP Chris Rea, a lovely, self deprecating chap as seen here with Mortimore and Whitehouse😥https://youtu.be/VgeaJyLzaN0?si=fuhYbA78vShxdMtP

I do hope @osgood9.bsky.social hasn't got up at silly o'clock to watch this😯

So it's a 15 minute game then...

Heads up. The Kindle version of the Paul Weller biography Dancing Through the Fire is only 99p today www.amazon.co.uk/Paul-Weller-...

That's Cole Palmer's hour up. Need to protect him on his way back.

@nilesy1961.bsky.social Nick Cave's Veiled World on Sky Arts tonight at 9pm...

Well worth a look, and there's an accompanying Spotify playlist. I bought Brontosaurus, Ball Park Incident and See My Baby Jive as a teenager. Saw Wizzard live at the local tech college, which was one of the strangest gigs I've ever been to.

Oh no! Another hero gone. Steve Cropper, guitarist on so many Stax hits. Someone asked me once who my favourite player was, and I said Steve. Never overplayed, economical and melodic. He put together the iconic riffs in Dock Of The Bay grieving over his friend Otis' death. RIP.

What do we need? @osgood9.bsky.social 😊

Van Morrison on the pub music system, and the Guinness is flowing. Do I really have to go to the game?

Was that one offside then?

Phew!

Excellent finish from Little Stevie😊

Lavia done then. Looked like a thigh muscle issue🙄

At the risk of being a Jonah... not a bad first 25.

Perfect timing. Slow cooker loaded, soup on the hob, coffee made, cannoli out, sat down just as the teams come out👌

Happy to have played our part in making this happen!😀

Anyway, about those Epstein files...

Anyway, about those Epstein files...

😂😂

@osgood9.bsky.social We DEFINITELY need a second...

No yellow for that assault on Cucurella by Olise?
