What we all experience as lived reality is in fact a construction designed for the sole purpose of hosting all the different versions of Bob Dylan.

When a TV show has an instrumental theme tune I make up lyrics that do exactly this 👇 and it drives my wife mental.

“Manchester is feeling good about itself” say Sky, presumably on their first visit to Manchester.

HANDBAGS! #thefootball

Impressionist style picture of Emi Martinez making a world class save against Sunderland to help turn a defeat into a vital victory for Aston Villa.

Hang it in the Louvre! #avfc

Never in doubt. 😬 #avfc

Warehouse at VP is looking decent. FAB pop up in the corner to left of big screen. #avfc

At Villa Park for the Fans Forum, 10am-11am, then FAB pop up in Warehouse from 12pm. Come say hello. #avfc

Spurs, man. They take shooting yourself in the foot to new levels. It’s like jazz; exploring the outer reaches of the form.

The reason snooker players take so long between shots is they quietly sing Snooker Loopy to themselves so they know which ball to pot next.

This interview on the pitch is liquid Lampard.

Extremely good joke made by Doc in the IC WhatsApp group just now.

Very nice definition of AI. 👇

Although I also like: “AI is simply 3 labour violations in a trench coat”, (c) someone on here a while back.

Little ones 50p, big ones a pound. The widow of a jazz and soul expert just dropped them off.

Home and hosed after 30 minutes. Up the Euro Villa. #avfc

Thanks Netflix.

@andydawson.bsky.social I just observed the one minute Melchester silence. I was in Farmfoods, buying frozen fruit for my morning smoothies. 6 bags for a tenner. It was poignant.

My mate Robson and I were walking down the street once and we bumped into a bloke I know that Robson didn’t know, and so I introduced them.

The other bloke’s name is Jerome.

You probably had to be there, to be honest.

I think this Newcastle squad would stroll into the latter stages of EL, just like we have.

That’s a fair point about Jan turning round the season. But, also, only missed out on CL by one goal.

FWIW, Europa league is a massive drop down. We’ve got one foot in the semis without really breaking sweat. And, like, you know, Spurs won it, so..

The one thing you *can* learn from this is that although it worked for Geese, it very likely won’t work for you, so you should remember that when someone tries to sell it to you as a solution using Geese as the example.

The fuss over this is ridiculous, and shows very little historical understanding of how bands since forever have been brought to the attention of their eventual audiences through the gaming of a system. Only the technology changes.

Why does he struggle so much with European football? That’s twice now being in CL has derailed your season. Genuine Q, because we (Villa) seem to do ok, and seem to do better with the Weds/Sun schedule than when we don’t have a midweek game.

The extent to which Tech Bros love sniffing their own farts is remarkable.

Nice one Leeds.

The Man United players were outfought and outrun tonight to such an extent it was like they’d been told Carrick was their permanent manager so they’d reverted to type.

Martinez sent off for [checks notes] pulling hair.

Game’s gone.

Leeds have been terrific so far. Which is great news for Villa. And also funny because: Spurs.

That is impressive

When you’ve got the #USMasters at 4pm, and Millwall away in 1985 at 6pm

Man City are doing Villa a big favour here, which is the main thing, but also this City fan drinking tears was very funny.
