What’s happening for Ryan Sessegnon I wonder? Silva is in a succession of managers who’ve not given him many starts. I know he’s had bad injuries, but he’s fit and ready to go now, and suddenly Willian’s in front of him again. A left sided talent like him should be gold dust #ffc

I’m fed up with excusing poor performances with ‘Fulhamish’ it keeps on happening, far too many ordinary sides have beat us this season. Mid table mediocrity beckons again, nothing extraordinary after all. #ffc #coyw Up The Fulham!

Like many Boomers I benefited hugely from the sale of Mum and Dad’s property when the time came. That’s life, we were not well off, my Dad went to night school at age 46 to gain more qualifications, to earn more money, to afford children, he didn’t complain, he got on with it.

Who else runs a business where there’s no risk? Community Grants are increasing, these Pirates have got it all, and throw us a few coins so we’ll keep quiet. Shame on the governments who allow this, some of the world’s most expensive electricity, right here, right now. news.stv.tv/highlands-is...

Those countries in green, please be patient, we’ll get around to you as and when…

Ok, it’s not Doncaster at home, we’re now going to find out if our name’s on the Cup this year or not. Up The Fulham! #ffc #coyw

A new dram for tonight, this, from Tain in the far north, is a fruity one, orange, honey and peach. It’s also an old school distillery

Timothee Chalamet is brilliant as Dylan, he inhabits the great man like no other could. I wasn’t bothered about seeing ‘A Complete Unlnown’ but it was a revelation, even for a dedicated Bobcat like myself. Absolutely see this film, that’s an order…🙃

Off to see the Dylan movie tomorrow, probably not for Bobcats like myself, but I’ll give it a go. A convivial few drinks in the Guildford Arms and lunch at Dishoom beforehand, all in all a very decent day out in prospect. Edinburgh days out, lovely…

Ahh, remember those deadline days of yore? Berbatov, he came on a whim apparently, Mitrovic, he came because Jokanovic picked up the phone and asked. The bushes outside Motspur Pk were full of journos. All a bit boring so far ain’t it? #ffc #coyw

50000 Geordies, tamed…

Lair of the Geordie beast…

Auld boys day oot, gannin doon the toon. My annual pilgrimage to St. James, I fancy us to get something today. On Dunbar Station today, I counted 7 #ffc and 3 Magpies, we’re massive! #coyw Up The Fulham!

One of these days we’ll have Newcastle away on a warm, sunny Saturday afternoon in August. But, as usual it’s at the arse end of winter and we’ll be freezing our buns off at altitude. Mind you, the Geordies will be shirtless whatever the weather! #ffc #coyw Up The Fulham!

Punctuation is everything…

Went vegetable shopping at Phantassie Organics in East Linton today, they operate out of a shipping container opposite the farm, just open weekends I think. A fine selection, not cheap, mind, this little lot was £20. Add some local sausages and there’s an East Lothian dinner!

I’m away back to the other place for now. Catch you later 🙂

You can see why Savinho starts ahead of Grealish, he’s got the desire and works much harder than our Jack. This was a golden opportunity for him to lead from the front, that’s £100m floating about not doing a hell of a lot

I don't much like the BBC anymore, but, I do trust what it tells me to be true. If people use social media to get their news, all they're getting is opinion which is a little different. The BBC has to be impartial, I don't know any other organisation can say the same.

Very happy for Ryan Sessegnon to get POTM yesterday. He’s not had the opportunity as Jedi’s been so strong. But he’s obviously worked so hard, he’s become a proper unit. We’re lucky to have him back. #FulhamFC #coyw

youtu.be/o6xGqi5itxs?... Happy Friday folks!

Good solid performance, still didn’t hear ESR’s name nearly enough. Onwards to round 4… #FulhamFC #coyw Up The Fulham!

I hope Silva decides to have a right good go at the FA Cup this season, having never won a major trophy, it's about bloody time we did. I understand players need rest and we have a smaller squad, but let's run this one up the flagpole and see who salutes it! #FulhamFC #coyw Up The Fulham!

‘Spreadsheet Phil’ Hammond on Radio4 just now, although out of politics and a Tory to boot, he talks sense, the last proper Chancellor we had…

I’ve never worn a Fulham shirt to a match. I’m of the generation who dressed up to go to football, yes, we started off with Levi’s and boots but that soon turned into Loafers, Sta-Prest, Ben Sherman’s and Harrington Jackets. You carried your colours as a scarf, on the wrist or round the neck.
