Sports hackademic. Almost appeared on Grand Designs. Built a house (slowly). Views are mine, other than those borrowed.
Shubman Gill is not captaincy material. Where the hell are the spinners? #ENGvsIND
Pointing trying to nit-pick about Root’s batting is transparent and borderline pathetic. #ENGvsIND
At a Palestine Action event the day after the Oct 7 attacks - named by Hamas as the Al-Aqsa Flood - the group’s co-founder called for the “flood” to become a “tsunami”. Why should we abide that, @volker_turk?bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Thank you, ̶D̶a̶v̶i̶d̶ ̶ ̶P̶h̶i̶l̶ ̶P̶e̶g̶g̶y̶ Paul Mitchell. #fraud #NUFC
🚨 Newcastle had chance to close James Trafford deal pre Club World Cup. Man City not considering 22yo goalkeeper at that point but #NUFC offer too low. By time bid raised too late as #MCFC arrived + convinced #BurnleyFC & England U21 int’l @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/55337…
The cabal/cartel has spoken. How DARE you cocky upstarts try to build a team around your best player. Point proven…
NUFC had a free way out of psr to get in 250m of psr funds from selling isak, while bringing his replacement in ektike for 80m, leaving 170m left to play with. NUFC fucked it BECAUSE they were cocky. You're not that big club yet, you needed to make that sale to push forward.
A collective shit-show at #NUFC. Complacent leadership, poor executive appointments, no succession planning. That said, most roads lead back > PSR & their impact on wage structures (only possible way to head this off was a new contract offer to Isak). The deck’s rigged. Horrific.
Lottie Woad is something else. Wonder what @Joey7Barton makes of her.
More jam than Hartley’s, as they say. But thank God for Michelle Agyemang. #ENGITA
Has Alex Greenwood got money on Italy? #womenseuros2025
BREAKING: Mass protests against the Druze genocide in London. Nearly the same size as the march against the Yezidi Genocide in 2014.
The Druze have shown you everything. The videos. The photos. The dead children. The mutilated bodies. The beheadings. They have translated their pain into every language. They screamed. They cried. They begged. And still… nothing.
BREAKING: The bodies of Christians and Druze are lying in the streets of Sweida, Syria. The silence from the world is morally reprehensible.
I’ve witnessed mismanagement at #NUFC for over 40 years. But getting less for Alexander Isak than Liverpool got for Philippe Coutinho would top it all.
Scheffler may well end up being the greatest golfer of all time. But he’s a nightmare - perhaps the ultimate nightmare - for the game. Automaton. #TheOpen
DeChambeau is -15 for his last 70 holes. Some boy. #TheOpen
𝗤: Would you like Liverpool to sign Hugo Ekitike for the reported £85M fee?
A proper schooling. Fury shouldn’t want another piece of that. #UsykDubois2
No surprise that @DaveAtherton20 got this story wrong, the foaming goon. Pissed-up white public schoolboys provoked trouble, and found it.
My grandad will be turning in his grave at the sight and sound of #NUFC fans buddying up with Rangers in Glasgow. He hated them after the carnage they brought down in 1969.
Faldo: “When I…” .. “Well, what I did…” … “The time I won it…” … “I played it this way…” .. “…If this was me, I’d..”. Sad-sack. #TheOpen
