The 3-1 defeat today was harsh and quite flattering to Bedford. A few weeks ago we were frightened by everything - pushing up, headers, tackles, even passing. Now 20 yards further up and going through the back of the opposition to win the ball. Even if we keep losing, leave 'em some bruises. #pafc

Leyton Orient's kit does make it look like they're wearing comedy sized, knee length braces. Missed a trick by not teaming it with a giant dickie bow or tie. #pafc

"You may well argue that the Golden Globes don’t matter." We should argue that NONE of the awards ceremonies matter. Horror films don't need a panel to award tacky gold plated doorstops. They often find their crowd despite industry, and often journalistic, snobbery.

I don't know how Orient fans regard him, but with hindsight I wish I wasn't as hard on the bloke. The highlights show him contributing and scoring different types of goals. Shilton's team wouldn't have worked as well without him. #pafc youtu.be/j5OJSwI9hq0

Bought in late '92 for £200k, he scored 18 that season for Orient. Then followed that up with 13 in 92/93, 17 in 93/94, 7 in 94/95. For someone doing a lot of grunt work for Marshall, Dalton, and Castle to work off, he more than contributed. That 7 in 94/95 season was actually some going. #pafc

Watching him when I was 11-14, Nugent looked languid, not as fluid as many in Shilton's marauding team. As a result I didn't appreciate him. His job though wasn't his to be glamorous. Despite the stick he got, he was easily the difference in games, and quite a few were 3-2 wins. #pafc

As we're playing Leyton Orient, let's have a look at a guy who had almost identical numbers for each... The unfairly maligned Kevin Nugent. Across two spells with Orient got himself 157 games and 35 goals. In just over three seasons with Argyle, 160 games and 37 goals. That's consistency. 🧵 #pafc

If Will Evans was your solicitor, a firm handshake will have him filing for ABH. Also this wonderfully Richard Madeley-esque quote. "I'm not going to comment on whether or not he should get more protection . . . but he absolutely should!" #pafc

Their investment into gentrification (not regeneration) of parts of Manchester, is the same reason the likes of Escobar used to pay for a village football pitch. It's cheap to them and buys useful idiots. "Look what they've done for the community" is you acting as their human shield.

Andy Burnham 'really concerned' if Man City owners sell up after rule breaches

The prime minister compares the allegations against Man City to the plight of his own club Everton.

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

If you love satire and want a bloody good laugh, this Man City statement is for you! Overwhelming evidence to show they're innocent, but couldn't be arsed to hand it over or cooperate. Who'd have thought being owned by an absolute monarchy who abhor the rule of law could do such a thing?

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It is tiring to see them go back to that well. The other one they repeat is build someone up, knowing full well they're going to kill them. The writers won't let non core characters have nice things... or even their lives for very long.

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Dead City season 3 or "Gimmicks Galore." In true TWD style, they decided they needed a character to have abrupt turns in behaviour to drive plot. Negan was pivoting so sharply, surprised he didn't get whiplash. Ep 6 in particular was a writers exercise that took the piss out of the audience.

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Rodri... Now Mancini... I expect another well rehearsed but disingenuous cry of innocence from Guardiola. They know what they got was through deliberate circumvention. Wipe them from their records, render their medals meaningless and spoil those memories. They knew the money they were taking.

Manchester City charges: Roberto Mancini says Premier League rule breaches 'not my concern'

This weekend, I was mostly listening to... Had this since I was 18. What few dispensable quid I had then went on it. Hoping a guy with that name and name checked by many wouldn't be a let down. He'd been undersold! The heaviest blues, none of the covers could capture him.

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

There's a step at Argyle between Blocks C and D which nearly took out three people. Shins were in danger. It's not as successful as the step I sat next to at Villa Park in '92. That took out a then £100 worth of food and drink. Burgers, after chips, after tea all went a flying. #pafc

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I like it. Combine that with a sort of visual system; Green Pepple - far too nice Yellow Pepple - more like it Red Pepple - tear 'em apart!

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Trigger used to keep a team pinned back, partially because he would frustrate the hell out of centre backs and they'd foul him. Pepple is very capable of that, is more athletic than Trigger but he's inconsistent at it. He needs to be an utter pain in the ass for 90 mins. #pafc

This is what we look like to the referee, trying to get free-kicks. Our overacting is to the standard of a local am-dram society deciding to do a "comedy" saucy panto about Snow White. #pafc

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Half-time musings: In a race, our defence is easier to skin than a rabbit with a zip on its back. Reverted partially to dropping easily on contact and going all doe eyed begging for free-kicks. Why can't our strikers head? Do they close their eyes? Their eyebrows at weird angles? #pafc

Pepple missing an open goal from a few yards out, Burton taking too long to pull the trigger within a few minutes of each other. Ultra League Oneing it there lads. #pafc

Alexander Warn @alexanderwarn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Think about a combination of that Burton keeper kit with our third kit... and it makes this very 80s workout appear muted. #pafc

As the international equivalent of Jersey Mike's starts, I've often pondered if we're not just one of, but possibly the club whose managers have the most combined England caps. 12 permanent and temporary former full England internationals have managed us. 🧵 #pafc
