Fair point. I have a friend who is very close in the industry and seems to think May - and the locals - will be the key month.

I still hear people talking about the mythical 'last man'...

This alone is worthy of a follow. A pet peeve of mine

A shameful aspect of modern football. Convention has always been 'are'.

The core of X hates Starmer (which isn't to endorse some of the horrendous views on there)

The core of BlueSky hates Starmer.

If you can manage to piss off both demographics, then you're on very thin ice.

Labour need to make a change.

Not keen on VAR by any stretch but would have been interesting to see this version of it. People say they'll accept refereeing errors - but, in reality, they never do.

Educating players and coaches to be better versed in the laws of the game would help all concerned.

Get well soon Vladimir

I can assure you the items were legit. Tags and everything. They cost someone about £30 I expect.

A 3-0 Brom win tonight will cheer you up, as we draw the bridge away from the relegation moat

"...The regret I feel is less for my own curtailed encounter than the troubling fact that an admirable world champion has to be policed in this way..."

An interesting insight here...in more ways than one

Ok. I will respond 👍

I actually think this may be part of the scam. I had similar. Demanding a secondary proof of authenticity that I had never provided in the first place. The whole X platform seems riddled.

Matt, please see my other reply re LinkedIn. I can't dm you on here.

I have effectively lost my X account. (I am using an account belonging to one of my books). I got hacked and locked out. X told me I can't prove ownership of my account (despite the need to register email, phone and DOB). Absolute fuckers. Screw them.

@thebishf1.bsky.social hi Matt, I had the same.

Also, can I ask please... did you send me a LinkedIn message??

Ah yes, forgot they're due to play them. A two game swing for a team so out of form may be too much

If West Ham tonight, surely it's game over for Spurs?

A cracking top level question in today's Football Cliches game #wba.

What's the song James?

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027.

The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

Ah, so you too have official wba socks then?

I am quite appalled that it is official merchandise and has lasted fewer 'wears' than my matalan footwear

The sock is dead

I am moving into academic books. One book is the equivalent of 10,000 of my books.

Great giffing

I just posted the very same. It's such a shame that no records exist of football before 1992. God forbid somebody should research Ian Rush or Dixie Dean

Thought 9 sounded low to be top. Shame there are no records of football before 1992
