“Charlie don’t surf!” RIP

So, Spurs enter the Tudor era. How long until fans are chanting “Off with his head!”? #COYS

OK, it apparently wasn’t Liam but the symbolism was everything.

The kid who got the Grammy was Liam.

Enjoyed that. BB’s show was great!

Digging into the locals this evening — Hut Hut, Bluebloods, Dominique Adams

New Ratboys – Singin’ to an Empty Chair = pretty damned good

Listened to English indie-rock singer/songwriter Lande Hekt for the first time this morning. Impressed me enough I’ve spent the day on a deep dive into her canon and her previous work with Muncie Girls. All very good.

Didn’t look a pen to me. I thought McCabe touched the ball a hair before the leg.

Now, don’t eff it up! #COYS (I’m crossing everything)

Guehi OG, I think. Regardless, #COYS

First-line Gus? #NHLJets

I actually enjoyed that #NHLJets game. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Insane in the membrane.

That was a terrible hockey game. Good result, but… this was Spurs-Brentford New Year’s Day levels of bad.

Given the news of Rob Hirst’s death, it's been a Midnight Oil kind of morning. I've just been reminded how incredibly powerful that band was. Saw the Oils at least half-a-dozen times, maybe more. Absolutely relentless.

Ugh. Had to win that one.

Greasy, greasy net-front stuff today. Good to see these going in. #NHLJets

Good challenge.

This game’s getting a little silly.

Well, that was fun, at least. #COYS

Nothing there, FFS. C’mon, ref.

Villans are shithousing now. Yell, fall, roll, grimace. Repeat.

VDV is so good.

Nothing in that. Good tackle.

And he was off… ugh

The #NHLJets won their first game in 12 last night. When the result was no longer in doubt, fans sang, did the wave and turned the arena into a party. Now that #COYS are in with a chance, this stadium feels similar. Fans WANT to believe.

Now, go on…

Current mood

Oh, bollocks.

Yeah, he was off.

Ah, bloody, bloody, bloody…

Love today’s #COYS shirts. (And this first quarter-hour.)

It’s comical now. Watching 81 loaf back, leaving McJesus alone in front to score in the last minute, I knew they were done — and they were still leading.

They look just lost right now.

Nino…

Now finish it…

“Sing in tune, you bastards” seems like an appropriate Joe Strummer quote for that #NHLJets power play.

That’s been coming…

Nope, I do not like these free potshots Vegas is getting.

Batshit-crazy people.

I’ve never seen a retake of a penalty shot in hockey. Too bad the kid only has one move.

The WDAY weekend News at 10 guys look 12. Gawd, I’m old.

I’m old enough to have attended games during the 1980-81 #NHLJets winless streak (30 games – 23 L, 7T). My brother and I even saw the game when they snapped it (Dec. 23, 1980, 5-4 over the Colorado Rockies).

It’s all about the “awl.” “Oil, that is. Black gold. Texas tea.” Read up on the Citgo auction. Connect the dots.

Yes, @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social, yesterday’s Spurs-Brentford match was this bad: “This was a game to make you wonder what you are doing with your life, how many mistakes have led you up to this point.”

In my chat, we’re squarely placing the blame on the group member who attended tonight’s game and proudly took credit for the W when it got to 4-1. As 55 would say, frickin’ amateur hour.

“Comrie” now trending at the other place. #NHLJets

Folks over at the other place suggested Helle should’ve played the third. EC looks as if he’s still shell-shocked from Nov-Dec. No confidence. May be done.

Spurs were dire today, as well.
