Just landed back from Motherwell. That was not a performance that deserved a 2-0 defeat. Couldn’t fault effort, drive, tempo, but decision making left something to be desired. My mate Rob’s first Dons game, he loved the atmosphere from the fantastic Dons support.

Adil Aou-SHEESH! Right?

‘Munichs’ A derogatory term for a Man Utd fan. That’s why I never picked this up in a bookshop, the title turned me off. I was given it as a Christmas gift and just read it. It’s a great read in the style of the author’s previous work. At the end, he writes about the title, by way of explanation

Driving up with our Beth for our first game of the season, taking a mate to his first Dons match, and praying we’re lucky mascots 🙏🏻

As an immigration lawyer, it seems to me that the only thing we talk about more than immigration is how we don’t talk about immigration

In Wales there's a legal requirement for road signs to be in both English and Welsh. Wording was emailed to the Welsh translator and the sign installed. Unfortunately, the translation reads, "I am currently out of the office. Please submit any work to the translation team."

Farage equating the paracetamol lies with thalidomide is a disgrace!

I guess it’s a great time to take a mate to his first Dons game this Saturday

​Terribly sad news to hear of the sudden passing of former Liverpool, Chelsea & West Ham manager Matt Beard. ​A huge figure in the women's game. The thoughts of all of us are with his family, friends & former clubs. Rest in Peace, Matt. ❤️ #FootballFamily

Off to Leigh Sports Village for Manchester United women v Arsenal tomorrow. Any tips for parking (other than taking a chance on finding a spot at LSV) much appreciated.

Do you remember this photo? “Bliss” taken in 1996 in California by Charles O’Rear. It became the default Windows XP wallpaper and probably the most seen picture ever.

It’s Strictly season, so the girls have it on the box every Saturday now. A good time to remind our Beth that if she was a boy, I wanted to call her Jimmy Floyd - legend!

So, first game of the season for me next Saturday, along with a mate going to his first Dons game. Apart from “stay at home!”, thoughts?

Are we heading for a Skovdahl 99/00 type season?

This is grim reading

NEW: Britain’s fiercest libel firm, Carter-Ruck, acted for the $4bn OneCoin fraud and threatened its critics. Now they’re being prosecuted at the SDT. Their response? An anonymity order to cover it up. But Carter-Ruck just lost that order - and it's all coming out. Thread

In an age where technology means you can’t celebrate a goal you’ve seen with your very eyes until VAR says you can do, this is so refreshing… Fans celebrating a goal far away, thanks to the technology of the time, the good old tranny!
