factually accurate take - football is a #FunnyOldGame.
De Zerbi going to Spurs seems to be going down as well with their fans as Farage popping up at Portaloo Road for lunch & snaps went down with Ipswich fans 🤭

Bit weird - or no? - that big chunk of this week's readers have come from India & the US.

He may have just score a worldie but c’mon. We all know Dan #James is a ver-ry mediocre footballer, yes? He’s looked it all night until *that moment*.
Incredible, electrifying burst. 1-0 #Wales.
#Bosnia #football #funnyoldgame
After a strong coffee, my neurons have fired up sufficiently to compose an 'Ode To Big Phil' on his birthday.
#NCFC #FunnyOldGame
BTW:
That's now *13* league games in a row that #NCFC have not conceded a goal in the 2nd half of a game. 🥳
I have no idea what the record is but that has to be pretty fucking close to it.
#FunnyOldGame
You can almost smell the collective sense of fear & anxiety from Spurs fans around the country this morning as their brave boys head to Anfield..
#FunnyOldGame
It was at this exact point last night that I'd convinced myself that #NCFC were getting nothing from the game vs Sheff Utd.
Just going to be one of those nights we don't score and turn a deficit into a win.
#FunnyOldGame
If Sargent hadn't withdrawn his services for #NCFC and pushed for a transfer, Jovon Makama would probably not have started many games/scored goals & Mo Toure would probably still be playing in Denmark.
The club has 2 exciting young strikers & £20M.
Football works in mysterious ways.
#FunnyOldGame
It's odd how Coventry seems to be Boro's bogey side and yet #NCFC are Coventry's bogey side.
#FunnyOldGame
There's a Wagner playing for Birmingham against Farke's Leeds and also a Stansfield - one of the first #NCFC managers was Bert Stansfield.
#FunnyOldGame
Just putting the facts out there #FunnyOldGame
I hadn't heard of him 2 weeks ago and now he's a #NCFC legend already.
Football eh?
#FunnyOldGame
*1 year* today.
#NCFC drew 1-1 at home to Derby after conceding a 92nd min. penalty.
Turning point for Johannes Thorup at the club.
Wheels seemed to get wobblier after that.
The Canaries only won 3 of the remaining 15 games.
#RestIsHistory #FunnyOldGame
Ideally but you just never know what twists & turns are to come.
#FunnyOldGame
Thorup seemed in control of things at #NCFC on 31/1/2025. No major cracks on display.
Later today he takes charge of his 1st game for @skrapid.bsky.social in the QF of the Austrian Cup.
#FunnyOldGame
The previous #NCFC manager starts his new job (1 league below) with two 1-0 home league wins after having overseen 7/7 home defeats with the Canaries and just 1 clean sheet in 15 league games.
#FunnyOldGame (never has that hashtag been more apt).
Ever since Josh Sargent sent that text to Clement, #NCFC have won 4/4, scored 14 and conceded 2.
#FunnyOldGame
November 25: Manning sacked at #NCFC after a 2-1 home defeat to Leicester.
January 26: Leicester manager sacked after a 2-1 home defeat.
Football symmetry.
#FunnyOldGame
Southampton vs Newcastle would be an intriguing match up between Welington & Gordon.
#FunnyOldGame
Just to clarify a misconception that football fans constantly repeat;
In fact, *the game has not gone*.
It's still here and will carry on as usual.
Thanks.
#FunnyOldGame
This summer's WC finals in the US increasingly has the vibes of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin under an increasingly tyrannical leader using it politicise the event to convey (white) power & might to a world being put in increasing danger.
Let's hope things turn out better than the 1930s.
#FunnyOldGame
One year ago today, #NCFC got a late equaliser at home to QPR (won't mention who scored it) and finished the year in 12th place on 30 points (7 wins/8 defeats).
If the lads can get a win tonight, we'll be 'just' 6 points off that with just 1 less win than at the same stage last season.
#FunnyOldGame
Imagine supporting a football club that hasn't lost 4 games in a row since 1978.
The level of entitlement Celtic (and Rangers) fans have is off the flipping scale.
#FunnyOldGame
Chris Sutton is having a topsy-turvy season.
Celtic struggling under new boss.
#NCFC revived under former Rangers boss.
#FunnyOldGame
Would point out that #NCFC have won as many points and scored more goals than runaway league leaders Coventry in the last 2 games. 🥳
#FunnyOldGame
Blackburn having 2 home games abandoned due to bad weather in 1 half of a season is downright bizarre.
And they were 1-0 up in both 😆
Is this a tangible effect of climate change in the area?
#FunnyOldGame
Kenny McLean from the halfway live vs Brazil in the 95th minute to take #Scotland through to the knockouts.
You heard it here first.
#FunnyOldGame
Farke's finale at Leeds tonight?
Patience is running thin with Leeds fans.
Big pressure to deliver the points.
#FunnyOldGame
After a painful 13 game winless run, #NCFC are now are on a joyful 1 game winning/unbeaten run. 😊
