Even Nigel Farage and Liz Truss have now distanced themselves from Trump calling Zelensky a Dictator, just in case anyone still wasn’t sure what a stupid thing it was to say

3 points for the Blades ⚔️ Remember no style points available 😉 #sufc #bskyblades

Out of nothing… 1-0 Come on Blades ⚔️ #sufc #bskyblades

Fantastic way to finish my week back home, Anel sealing the victory. Great performance tonight. UTB ⚔️ #sufc #bskyblades

The word 'symposium' comes from a Greek term for a drinking party, should you be looking for a truthful excuse to knock off early.

25 years ago today (Feb 7 2000) I moved to the US for what was supposed to be a year! Of course the first game I missed at BDTBL was the Blades beating WBA 6-0. All part of being a long suffering fan! Looking forward to being at the Lane tomorrow for my first time this season! UTB ⚔️ #bskyblades

This weekend marks 33 years since this lovely John Gannon volley for Sheff Utd against Forest. A delicate peach. 👌🏻

Finally a moment of quality! Cannon to BBD 1-0 ⚔️ #bskyblades

The Blades pretending to be back in the Premier League by getting hammered at home ☹️⚔️ #bskyblades

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

Does Brewster get an assist for handing Burrows the ball for the penalty? ⚔️ #bskyblades

TikTok will be banned in America over fears it could be used by the Chinese to destabilize the government, and there's already a homegrown plan for that in place

'How's that on a scale of medieval misogyny?' Ian Hislop tells Andrew Marr that Elon Musk is 'riddled with contradictions'.

Fantastic 3 points today. Especially with the bench featuring only 3 senior players and 2 goalkeepers. 4 points from 4 tough games. Keeps us in the mix. Now for some JTW business! UTB ⚔️ #bskyblades

Oh Andre Brooks! What a goal and what a celebration! UTB ⚔️ #sufc #bskyblades

🎶 I’ve never felt more like drinking a pig 🎶 Happy New Year! UTB ⚔️ #bskyblades

Looking thru my photos from this year and there’s a few highlights… the total solar eclipse in TX, seeing the Blades NOT lose a Premier League game (vs. Fulham), but my favourite pic is this one. Trying to figure out whether this is indication that Americans understand irony, or not…

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

One last Christmas hurrah! Iron Monk Nightscape - bourbon barrel imperial stout - with the last of the Christmas leftovers!

Come on Blades! Virtual BTDBL via COSM Dallas #bskyblades #boxingday #cosmdallas

Today marks 34 years since bottom club Sheff Utd beat Forest 3-2 to record their first league win of the season, at the 17th attempt! It started one of the greatest escapes in English top flight history, as the Blades eventually finished 12 points above the drop. Never give up.

3 points for the Blades after a 2-0 home victory, but the BBC seems a bit confused by getting both the score and venue wrong ⚔️

Blades at MLS Cup! Lovely time prematch with @plinytheblade.bsky.social

Apart from the story…. This is one of the scariest photos I’ve seen. First and second place in the grim reaper look-a-like competition 💀 😂
