General silliness, angry ranting, probably something about West Ham, movies and fuck the Tories.

Graham Potter knows Tomas is going to be going hard on the potato salad. Knows his players.

We can't just be normal, can we? #COYI #whufc

What a weird game. Two goals that looked so ropey nobody celebrated them in the expectation that they'd be ruled out.

"Return the club to profitability" he says. And for that reason someone earning £30k per year working in marketing or something has to lose their job while Victor Lindelof earns £120k per week to run up and down the touchline each game and stretch a bit.

Imagine losing your office job because Man Utd spent €100million on Antony. And £60million on Mason Mount. And £70million on Casemiro. And £70million on Hojlund. And decided to bring a 75 year old Jonny Evans back to the club. Et cetera.

Been out helping some newts cross the road.

Never mind, there's always next year.

Making a Bolognese today. Here is my soffritto. Already smells amazing.

Satisfying Football Manager moment. First game after securing the Premier League title is away at Spurs so they have to give us a guard of honour. If this happened in real life I would have to immediately die because I would never experience anything so sweet as long as I lived.

The PE lesson I taught today ended up like

I am so delighted that Andy Irving is starting for West Ham tonight. Some guy that we signed for mysterious reasons from a team no one ever heard of before and might not even exist. "I won a competition to be here" vibes. Marge Simpson loves potatoes, but a footballer.

I don't think that we - as a society - make enough of the fact that in Alien, Ash tries to kill Ripley with a rolled up magazine like she's a wasp that won't fly out of the window.

How did these two never end up together?

I was quite pleased with this spur of the moment diagram I did for my year 5s today.

There's a heck of a lot of plastering and painting to do in that place before they get round to Squid Game Season 3.

Dammit, BBC! They really need to cut out these silly typos. I was SO excited!

What insightful punditry.

For the first time in a long time I am invested in Oscar nominations. Delighted to see The Substance pick up multiple nominations. Well deserved recognition for a brilliantly fun and ridiculous movie.

That was as bad a half of football as I can remember ever seeing

Was just listening to Scott Walker and it made me wonder, is there any male artist out there today that is mainly known for having an amazing voice? Like, who's the male equivalent of Adele? Is there such a person?

I'm begging people who make quiz shows to stop asking the contestants to tell us a little bit about themselves. No one cares. They're never interesting.

There's always someone with a worse job than you. My friend just received a letter asking him to provide a new semen sample for his post-vasectomy analysis because they found that the previous one he sent had leaked in transit.

The best thing about this Man Utd team is that they'll probably get absolutely drilled by Everton or someone in their next game.

Why isn't the entire Tamworth crowd singing about the referee being a wanker? Cos I've done the maths on this one and they'd not be wrong.

Had an argument today with the host of an Airbnb we were staying at this weekend. We complained that the heating didn't work and one of the exterior doors didn't lock properly and he complained that we'd put our rubbish in the bin. He was very cross about that for some reason.
