One letter out.

Awfully sad news. Mircea Lucescu wasn't just a "great" manager, in fact of of the greatest of his age, but also one of the most kind-hearted, generous and inspiring men you could wish to meet. An unforgettable, irreplaceable figure has gone. apnews.com/article/mirc...

6️⃣6️⃣ more days of posting a poorly drawn World Cup moment every day until the tournament kicks-off or until we forget to post one Today: it's 1930. The European teams journeying to Uruguay shared a hellish three-week boat journey. Egypt were meant to be on the boat too, but... er, yeah.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Southampton beat Arsenal 2-1 and go marching into the FA Cup semi-final

6️⃣8️⃣ more days of posting a poorly drawn World Cup moment every day until the tournament kicks-off or until we forget to post one Today: it's 2022, and Wales are at their first World Cup for 64 years. A man with a notoriously keen eye for history, Wayne Hennessey decides to make it extra memorable.

Made hard work of that in the end, but a step closer to securing that playoff spot.

Genuinely thought this was about the beer.

That is a mental way of laying out the team.

A good start, that. #SNLUK. Tina Fey was brilliant of course, interesting to see who hosts next week.

This is how I access Bluesky

“A long, flowing beautiful sentence”? Can’t wait for you to deliver one of those, Donny.

What athlete’s expression will stay with you the rest of your life?

Bit of a self-indulgent #OTD but fuck it. Five years ago today, my son rang the end of treatment bell at Great Ormond St Hospital. Well done lad and well done all the team on Elephant Ward.

These are not the words of a national leader or professional soldier. ThIs is a freshman during fraternity rush hoping to impress and slowly summoning his own erection in the process.

@wsc.co.uk Tricky away fixture for me at Hatfield Hospital today. But when it came to getting myself some sweets for the many hours sat in bed, there was only one choice!

Silly I know but one likes to imagine her majesty up in hea’n looking a little cross because she spent 12m to settle a charge against her paedo son only to see him arrested for misconduct in public office. Im sure Paddington will cheer her up with a yummy marmalade sandwich 💞🇬🇧

Good news. Those proposals were beyond dumb.

ON DAY 9 OF THE OLYMPICS, CANADA FINALLY WINS ITS FIRST GOLD

‘Life hack’. Crap old life though.

What a fucking wimp.

Beautiful tale about The Krankies here 🥰

Post a banger not in English ‘Eto’ by Adwaith youtu.be/_fp7hsMQzJw?...

i love european olympics opening ceremonies. the second the ioc names a european host city the prime minister calls the culture minister into their office and says "find me your strangest homosexuals. give each of them a period of our great nation's history, a kilo of cocaine, and Ten Million Euros"

Love the look of this league table. Go on Sevilla, off you pop.

Absolutely mad list of ‘on this day’ events here in the Canvey Island programme. 1998…a thrilling home draw, 2000…Harold Shipman sent down.

Who do you most wish had hosted #TOTP?

The Boss.

@nessundormapodcast.bsky.social Just watched the highlights of that Denmark v USSR qualifier. You weren’t joking when you said it was a special game. Bloody hell!

She really is a nasty piece of work isn’t she.

Mad old fucker.

Just finished the last of the mince pies.

Happy 25th anniversary of getting gubbed at home by Kingstonian, Shrimpers fans 🤦‍♂️

Heaven Knows He’s Miserable Now #LUFC

For us Southend fans of a certain vintage, it is always fun seeing Birmingham get chinned.

What does it even mean?

Looks like Meera Syal to me.

Bucks derby between Beaconsfield and Marlow today. Tidy ground, 4-1 home win, some excellent goals, and a racist Marlow fan got booted out for abusing the ref. Fuck him.

How I’m turning up to the Bluesky Christmas party
