Just 4 remaining from the team of 3 years ago, and it looks as though JT needs a fresh club to restart his career. I still believe that Jacob Sørensen, given a good run in the team, playing to his strengths and remaining injury free, can be massive for us. But he needs to show it now.

Does the fact that so many people are looking to purchase Thames Water, with such an awful record on delivery and environmental protection, with huge amounts of debt and an aim to massively raise bills, mean that there is yet more value to be stripped from the utility into the private sector?

This took me far far too long. It’s been a long week and I’m tired!! Punting on the Cam is jolly fun, they say.

Great assessment and showing what we have in the squad if they are (mostly) available. Onel = Chaos…. Give that man a new contract, and make it clear that he is an impact sub, but what an option to have. “If Onel doesn’t know what he’s going to do, how do the opposition?”

10 goals in 2 games. A young forward getting the rewards for a lot of hard work. Re-introduction of several injured players. Some great cameos from the bench and Borja adding to his value for this season and the inevitable future sale. Pretty good week in NR1. #NCFC #OTBC

Part-rant and part musing, will be a thread. Firstly, this is very good news even if the drug itself, Benralizumab, is in early clinical stages and as a monoclonal is tricky to manufacture and will most likely be challenged by biosimilars. And the asthma charity quoted clearly does great work. 🧵 1/n

#NCFC That was frankly awesome!

All teams have to start somewhere, all teams have to take stock of their performances to see where they can improve. Yes, a long way to go, but there are always, always, positives to take from a game like this - the wickets taken, the fielding, the dot balls faced, the additional experience.

Millions of us valued Twitter/X at times of breaking news. It was a way to get info, fast. That value has been shattered by misinformation & a destructive algorithm. We can now make Bluesky the go-to platform for news. Here's a list of (verified) journalists to keep up with UK breaking news.

Brilliant quiz. Highly specialised but brilliant all the same.

I’m quite happy with 43 from this, even if most of the ones I know are shite. There’s some good names hidden deep in the list, I had a very long deep conversation about Bob Vylan with a bloke my age with a pink beard at Truck, and Soft Play are absolutely superb.

I’m contractually obligated to tell you guys the Boston Red Sox added Jhoestynxon Garcia to their 40-man roster and his nickname is “The Password.”

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day. Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

Priorities for Norwich City? - Recruit for first team & Academy? - Promotion? - Improve facilities? - Player development & sale? - Break even? - Expand stadium? IMO: none of these: priority is to keep the squad healthy, stop getting injuries and not recruit injury-prone players. #NCFC

People use social media for many reasons. Some just like pictures of cats, some only want to engage with things they like, some think is a news outlet, some want to share their worldview. All types are valid, no need to criticise because people don’t use it in the same way you do.

Within Temptation were superb at Wembley, with Annisokay in support and some special guests.

#WithinTemptation at Wembley Arena tonight. Used to see lots of bands there, then they all moved to play the O2 which is horrendous to get to if you don’t live in London.

I don't care how brazen this is: if this gets 20 reposts I'll post about one of the greatest tasks of my Taskmaster series, which would be talked about today as much as the trouser theft/texting/song etc, but which was NEVER BROADCAST ON THE SHOW. Or 10, whatever. I'd probably do it for 1.
