I bet the closest thing that this person has ever got to going to a live show is watching a Coachella clip via Tik Tok or something.

There's been a lot made in recent days about cheating in sports, but there's no doubt that 89 Backpack deserves their win.

First time I've been to the ground but cheap-ish beers you can drink in the ground and cheap food? Yeah, I'll be back for various games there. Also, I finally I get to see a Pompey win this season. I was starting to give up.

It is probably right to make it the headline. To omit it entirely while finding space for "organised recent protests" looks like bowlderising the news out of some curiously skewed idea that being even handed means out leaving out the facts www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

So, just to be clear, Daniel Thomas was: 1- Carrying a knife contrary to section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 2- Used that knife to commit criminal damage (Criminal Damage act 1971) 3- likely engaged in the criminal offense of endangering Life at Sea (Merchant Shipping Act 1995)

Very niche, but I'm really going to need a Welling win against Dulwich today, so I can do Whitehawk v Dulwich in a couple of weeks. I can't imagine there will be many updates at Fratton Park, but today, I am both Pompey and Welling.

They literally blocked the Port of Dover and were not only free to leave, but then committed further offences in Portsmouth and outside the Daily Mail the week after with zero consequences. They have not even seen a glimpse of the law, never mind "the full face"

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Still broken from EOTR. Some thoughts: Bo Ningen - the best live band in the world YHWH Nailgun - the best band in the world Brighton community is unmatched. Nina Winder-Lind & Big Long Sun were absolutely unreal Bab L'Bluz was worth my 6 year wait to see them. 11/10 stuff.
