A mother cow desperately trying to get her stolen baby back. The calf will be sold as veal, and their mother will never see them again. This is the true cost of dairy 💔

No shame in getting beaten by a club with a wage bill twice the size of ours and apart from Wareham I couldn't see any of our players making their team. Didn't expect to get anything out of it and my expectations were duly met. Worrying lack of fit defenders and Burton is huge on Tuesday. #ecfc

Bolton did nothing for 20 minutes. First chance, bang, goal. We are not quick or good enough to deal with numbers 11 and 14. Two up front is bewildering. All that's happening is that their #8 has time and space to pull the strings. I'd be delighted with a point but I cant see how. #ecfc

Memo to all the doubters, some of whom, ahem, sit near me in the Stanno Stand: Sometimes it is better to keep the ball (and, yes, even pass backwards) than to "get it upfield" and lose possession. Yours respectfully, Niall. #ecfc

My reading pile for 2026. Hopefully, it'll be more than just these, but there are a few in there I've been promising myself I'll get round to for ages! Currently two thirds of the way through Orwell, half way through Shakespeare and 20% through Otto English.

Dear #Wagamama, Pathetic decisions on animal welfare are par for the course from grubby joints like KFC and Nando's but you should be better. Clearly you are not, so I will take my custom elsewhere. BBC News - KFC, Nando's, and others ditch chicken welfare pledge www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well done, MAGA voters. Truly you are people with bigly brains. Probably the bigleyest brains there are. Stupendously bigly, in fact. abcnews.com/Business/tru...

Deserved the point but it wasn't pretty. Two up front didn't do it for me, I'm afraid. Left Brierley and JDH with too much ground to cover. Aitchison never stopped running and Whitworth made a very important late save. We are drawing our way to safety and it could still getugly.... #ecfc

Messy, shapeless first half. Two up front means there are more holes in midfield and it's all a bit scrappy, I'm afraid. Magennis and Wareham need to be closer to each other and if we've got target men up front, let's get some crosses in, eh? All to play for and not out of it by any means. #ecfc

Totally, 100% spot on.

Should've won and it would've been grand theft if we'd lost. Brierley outstanding. To be honest, i don't think the rest of them think as quickly as he does. He'll thrive at a higher level. Northampton really ordinary and will be lucky to stay up. Ref was excellent, which in L1 is rare #ecfc

Put your money on Wigan avoiding relegation and then promoted next season. Caldwell organised our defence and kept us up when we had no right to do so. The man is a winner. #ecfc

Brierley and the midfield in total control with Immi and Timur looking threatening on the wings. Famous last words, but Northampton are as poor a side as I've seen this year. No excuse for not winning this. C'mon lads, let's send Gary off with three points. #ecfc

Congratulations to Northampton Town for having easily the worst kit I've seen this year.

Yup. You all know it, so just do the decent thing and stop drinking the stolen milk of another species, eh! #vegan

Flag-shaggers and knuckle-draggers ahoy! 'Patriots' are at RNLI's HQ today to protest at them for saving lives. Today, I made a donation to a charity that makes me proud to be British. You can do the same here: share.google/V4MbNlwc0zG8...

This week is #HeartUnionsWeek in the UK Our voices are stronger when we come together. If you are not a member of a Trades Unon, please give it some serious thought. I am proud to say that I am a member of @communityunion.bsky.social. Ask me how to join!

KFC are an absolute disgrace but to be frank they're no worse than any of the others. Profit always trumps welfare. There's only one solution: stop eating and exploiting our fellow creatures. #vegan

If you are an animal lover, you obviously want animals to live long and happy lives. By having someone kill them so you can eat them, I'm afraid you are doing the very opposite. You can change. #vegan

Animals have no choice, you do. Choose compassion / #vegan over cruelty: Challenge22.com 🌱

Behind every glass of milk is a calf taken from their mother. This is the reality of the dairy industry. 💔 Before reaching for milk, remember: a mother’s love is worth more than a momentary taste. 🌱🥛 Credits: thesavemovement (IG) | Kaslock (TikTok) #milk #cheese #dairy #dairycows #cow

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

Farage needs to respond and say that his mentor is wrong and should and apologise for his ignorant and insulting remarks.

Life is a real life horror for the animals. 💔 Credits: guadalajaraanimalsave (IG) | thesavemovement (IG) #veganism #vegans #veganmovement #agriculture #farmanimals

Key point from Fiona Hill at @instituteforgovernment.org.uk event this evening about the Trump presidency, both domestic and foreign: “This is not a normal time and we should not rationalise and analyse this into normalcy”

Not a Russian agent at all.

So much winning. You’ll be tired of all the winning

Britain is one of the best places in recorded history to be born, live, work and grow old. Lots of room for improvement obviously but combat the pessimism, it’s the forerunner of fascism.

Despite the worst ref all season a well-deserved 3 points. Defence, partic. Woodhouse and Fitzwater exceptional. Midfield terrier-like and Wareham, who could've had three, tireless. Stevenage as poor as anything I've seen all season. In summary: shit ref, great win, Caldwell is a genius. #ecfc

‘What has Keir Starmer done so far?’ A handy list for those who may ask.

Odd half. We played the better football and should be ahead against the best defensive team in the league. A measure of how much we dominated the first 25 was that it was their goalie with the phantom injury, not ours. Poor ref who's missing a lot of their nighly fouls. Could go either way. #ecfc

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Putting the football to one side.... Happy #Veganuary 11th. I'm afraid I have bad news for all you carnists. Dress it up as much as you like but you're complicit in mass murder. Sorry, that's just the way it is...

Lovely piece on our manager in today's paper. I think we will only really appreciate him when he's gone on to bigger and better things. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The difference between a fan owned club and one used as a propaganda tool for an, ahem, questionable, regime? This picture 🤮.

Quite right, too. The fact that any government - local or national - stays on Twitter/X is abhorrent.

Great interview with Jack McMillan here. I know it's the Mail, but this is a good read and a great insight into why Gary Caldwell deserves MUCH more credit than some of our fans give him. newspaperscotland.mailplus.co.uk/data/7197/re... Up the City! #ecfc

Cancelled trains, replacement buses, seven and a half hours door to door from home to my hotel in Manchester yesterday. I'm ready. #ecfc

It's #Veganuary 8th! Eating chicken is the very worst choice any of us can make. It was in 2001 when this advert was banned in the UK, and it is now. Stop eating seven week old sentient beings who have been deliberately bred to be in pain for most of their lives. youtu.be/pRjPOLccyMg?...

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Happy #Veganuary 4th. Never forget why (some) farmers (occasionally) look after animals they (wrongfully) own.

The Higg Materials Sustainability Index also ranks silk as second only to leather in environmental damage 🌎

Happy 3rd #Veganuary, folks. You don't reeeeeally hate us, do you? You just know we're right 😉

Happy 2nd #Veganuary As well as the rape, torture and abuse inherent in dairy, by giving up milk and cheese, you are also helping the environment. It takes 21 kilos of CO2 to produce one kilo of cheese – that’s the same as a car driving for 160km. It’s the right thing to do on every level.

What a performance! Best of the season, no question. £4mill wage bill against £15mill and it should've been more than 1-0. Outfought them, outworked them and out-defended them. The back three were immense and Wareham, Niskanen and McMMillan - in fact everyone - ran their socks off. #ecfc

Very decent first 45. Despite Walsh looking like the best player on the field, City had the better of it and the width of the post is the difference between 0-0 and one up. Cox and Wareham looking like a proper partnership and Swinkels is very solid. Mind you, I'd still take a point! #ecfc

There are 80 billion reasons to try Veganuary in 2026. It should blow your mind to think that's the number of land animals we slaughter for food each year. But the most important reason is to wind up your arsehole Uncle who proudly holds a fish in his profile. He really needs to know. #Veganuary
