Listening to Frances the Mute in 2005: mmm not really my thing Listening to it now: holy shit

At the 12 second mark, that camera operator called an audible and just said "fuck it, the lane is clear, no tripping hazards, I'm winning a Sports Emmy for cinematography right now"

I've been hesitant to get on the Drake Maye bandwagon after previously thinking Mac Jones was pretty good for a while there, but hoy, this kid is REAL good

@amydevlin.bsky.social Amy Andrews on target vs Sunderland ;)

Right Blades, if you're gonna lose again today can you at least have the good grace to do it quickly. None of this 90th minute 1-0 loss bollocks, I've got a beer festival to get to

Note to self, don't play Alan Wake 2 just before bed

England playing Latvia last night reminds me that I wrote a whole article about the time Sheffield United played Latvia (???): www.thepinch.uk/p/why-did-sh...

Good performance, good point, think this team is going to be absolutely fine this year.

The Patriots being top of the AFC East through six games is pretty, pretty funny

Well I'm interested

5️⃣6️⃣0️⃣ days later, Sheffield United Women have won a home game! So of course, I wrote 2,000 words about the victory over Ipswich that lifts the Blades up the #WSL2 table: womenofsteel.substack.com/p/md5-blades...

Today: can the Blades bag a first home win since March 2024 (ffs)?

lol

As someone who writes a lot of marketing related copy this was a really useful read in terms of "don't accidentally write like an LLM"!

A fateful encounter, a chilling transformation for the hero of Hyrule. The coverage and ads for Majora's Mask left little doubt that it was going to be a *different* kind of Legend of Zelda game but still, I imagine quite a few people were caught off-guard by this sequence.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Back talking nonsense about one of the most exciting divisions in all of English football. This week's WSL 2 Preview is live as we take a look over all the fixtures coming up this Sunday ⬇️ #wsl #wsl2 #woso open.substack.com/pub/thewsl2r...

Had Xbox Game Pass for a couple of years, always thought it was great value and enjoyed being able to try different games - many of which I'd never normally buy - and drop them if they weren't clicking. 50% price increase though? Think I'm out

New WOMEN OF STEEL is out, as United come oh-so-close to nicking a point against the league leaders Birmingham. I was really impressed with how we played in this one. Big game against Ipswich at home on Sunday. open.substack.com/pub/womenofs...

I'm assuming Luke Turner will continue to manage the side for the rest of the campaign, but after two straight managerial suspensions for non-footballing reasons this also feels like a great opportunity to hire our first female manager since Carla Ward...

Bétis had grandads as their mascots today 😭

A really, really good effort by United Women today against a team that will almost certainly be in the WSL next season. Ran hard, tackled hard and had a threat on the counter. Brilliant equaliser by Joy Ralph before a keeping error handed Birmingham a late winner.

A combined 1 point from the Sheffield United men's and women's teams today would be gratefully received, cheers please stop losing

If there's better weekly previews of #WSL2 out there I'm yet to to see it - another really good read from @harveyhinkler.bsky.social 🫡 open.substack.com/pub/thewsl2r...

Happy Hades 2 day to all who celebrate x

Some good Silksonging tonight ended by my controller battery running out just as some bug whacked me to death Amazingly I took this in good humour

Yes please

United played really well in this one and should definitely have won. But got to start getting those 3 points on the board soon unless we want a repeat of last season.

I should be quite upbeat after that performance by United Women, in which they created a ton of chances, missed a pen and lost to a spozzy goal, but the reality is we've just handed probably the worst team in the league a 3-point leg-up in the battle to finish Not Bottom.

I am baffled as to how United are losing this - missed a pen, had one bounce off the bar and onto the line (allegedly), along with multiple other good chances. Portsmouth ahead through an overhit freekick. Interim manager Luke Turner sent off and United really need to keep their heads second half.

Choral Chambers music in Silksong is sensational. Christopher Larkin crushed it again youtu.be/FTicXQYw2ts?...

Hello Bluesky! I've got my finger on the pulse as always, so I've decided to join the site to shamelessly plug my new newsletter, The WSL 2 Review! This week's preview features a love letter to one of my favourite rivalries in all of football: The River Wear derby. substack.com/@harveyhinkl...

WSL2 spotted in FM26 - bring it on!

The Last Judge is the first time I'm tapping out of Silksong for short while (I'm fully aware that this boss is basically called "The Last Skill-Check Before You Leave Act 1"). I know exactly how to beat this but my brain and fingers just won't seem to connect up for some reason

A buddy of mine has started a free newsletter covering #WSL2, which I heartily recommend for anyone interested in the wider picture of the women's second tier in this country. Give it a subscribe below. #Woso #WSL

Think this is my favourite game I've played this year (and I've played some really, REALLY good ones). Do itttt

This is some mighty fine NFL Red Zone

By no means the most important part of United's highly impressive draw at Newcastle today, but "Ariel duals", WSL2? 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️

Got to meet 3 (three) greyhounds this morning so we're off to a flyer
