Perfect weather for listening to this on the commute to work (would prefer to be driving than on the train, but hey ho). www.discogs.com/release/1258...

I see it's famine or feast in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Happy "it's Magna Carta not 'The Magna Carta', and it doesn't actually mean what you think it does" Day

We're heading towards the end, aren't we?

I'd just like to say a big thank you to @darrenmichael.bsky.social I won't say why, but it was a big deal to me. Thanks, Darren.

@paulsinha.bsky.social Which group got to number 1 in the UK singles chart with their first release and number 2 with their second release 12 years later. They weren't able to release any songs in those 12 years. Who was the only person who performed on both songs?

Getting ready

And @aisa-arsenal.bsky.social will be celebrating this tomorrow (12/6) at St Mary’s church, Hendon, where the great man is buried. Door open 3pm with an Arsenal themed pub quiz next door in the Greyhound pub at 7. Free and all welcome!

100 years ago today, the nation's evening newspapers were reporting on Herbert Chapman being appointed as the new Arsenal manager. It was at this moment that the club's future changed as he would make The Arsenal the most famous club in the world.

Maybe Harry Redknapp was right.

Out

Spurs next manager will be the fifth full time manager they have had since Mikel Arteta was appointed in 2019. Arsenal have had five full time managers since 1986.

Fifteen thousand of your English pounds!!!

This little beauty is up for grabs at today's Graham Budd auction. Produced by the Surrey Poet, Albert Craig, who was quite a character. bidlive.grahambuddauctions.co.uk/auctions/929...

Raining and trains up the spout. That lottery win can't come soon enough.

Watching The World's End and it's quite ironic that it was filmed in Welwyn Garden City as I doubt there are actually 12 pubs in the whole town.

How can there be 10 substitutions and 3 goals in the second half but only 1 minute of added time?

Just as well Google puts a disclaimer at the end of their AI overview.

#totp If you're considering going to see The Undertones then be aware that the Greg Davies lookalike doing a Feargal Sharkey impression is no substitute for the original.

#Totp Tracy Turner at school tried to convince me in 1982 that she was in Shakatak with Bill Turner. I think she may have been pulling my leg.

All is not lost for Sheffield United. They could still be playing in the Premier League next season after the findings of Manchester City's case are released.

Let the transfer rumour madness begin!

Get back to work, you lazy long-haired lefties. #GreatBritishNationalStrike

Apparently, there is a "Great British National Strike" today. I shall be partaking by not working today, although that would normally be the case anyway thanks to the actions of members of trade unions in the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s.

Chat shit, get banged. Freedom of speech ≠ freedom from consequences.

Sir Fergie must be turning in his grave.
