Tony Mowbray as a manager for 6 months then moving upstairs to DOF making way for a new man? Could be a good shout.

Next Vale manager. Ferguson/Brady are the bookies’ faves. Rowett/Ainsworth liked by some, but unlikely. Robbie Savage a fancied chancer in some quarters.

On episode 17/24 of “My Dearest”. The Qing Princess is annoying.

Jodi Jones the singer has very fetching ears. Sorry to be so shallow.

I do like Sweden.

And he’s just scored another cracker!

Monty just scored a screamer for Livingston vs Celtic. He always had that in his locker at the Vale (as well as lots of injuries and unforced errors).

“My Dearest” aka “Lover” on Kocowa is the best kind of historical drama/romance.

Awaiting a club statement. If there isn’t one, I give up.

I’m only watching this in the hope that it’s the end of Moore.

Mike Baggaley should be able to copy and paste all the comments from the previous edition of The Valiant after this, only with a bit of added swearing.

Vale doing their best to get Moore sacked. I’m OK with that, if it happens.

The worst thing about Sky Sports+ is the fact that the commentators (apart from being crap) are in a studio and the audio isn’t mixed well with the stadium sound.

Now entering the in between days where no-one remembers what day of the week it is.

Couldn’t sleep last night as my mind was fixed on planning a K-Drama version of “Pride & Prejudice” with Namkoong Min as a Chaebol Darcy & Jung So-Min as Elizabeth Bennet.

There’s a Jim Lauderdale doppelgänger in the pub.

One more episode of “Dynamite Kiss” to go - and judging by the end of Ep13 preview it looks like it’ll be a good ‘un.

Last minute Christmas panic, as ever.

The Epstein files on the DOJ website allow you to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, which reveals what was hidden. You can also press Ctrl+F and search for “Trump ” (with a space) to see his name appear more than 600 times. #OpDeathEaters

In a German school where I worked, they had English every day. In my English school, they did one period of German a fortnight.

On a crazily packed train from Sheffield to Stockport…. got a seat, so that’s at least something….

Gigs finished for the year (unless something local comes up that I’ve overlooked) Richard Hawley was on spectacular form in Sheffield this week.

Well that’s one of the two. Almost certainly be another in injury time….
