Very frustrating. Better 2nd half needed.

I'm off to the rugby. I only do about 3 live Sale Sharks games a year and am looking forward to seeing Courtney Lawes and Tom Curry smashing people.

Weird times. A longtime ago, but when I was at Sunday School, I am sure it was all about helping poor communities including those overseas.

New report says right wing rabble who claim to be Christian don't go to church. In other news, bears sh💩t in the woods.

I can't decide whether this is sincere or some kind of joke? Has anyone told Michael O'Neill?

His doctor said he didn't believe it was because of contact sports. I don't know if everyone agrees.

I just watched his MND documentary which was both moving and enlightening.

Same over here, Danny Care was on Sheff Wednesday's books but must have recognised he had big future in RU, same with Curry bros who played for Cheshire schoolboys in both RU & football, plus good level junior cricket.

One family, three sports. Is it in the genes or about upbringing/learned behaviour?

Stoke at Bolton today. Who remembers the Burnden Park Co-Op obstructing the view?

You can also turn a few of these around. On money, husbands often ask their wives to do the bills as they are often more organised. On talking, men are more likely to bottle things up, leading to more mental health issues.

Random thought, I miss paddocks at football ground. Great for viewing, especially if you could stand near the half way line.

Based on sheer enjoyment. Obviously, you could easily argue for others in terms of technique.

Some Stoke supporters, lots of random club supporters. It's not really about the club he supports, the interesting point is the reaction to a club shirt.

Nigel Howle @howler123.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

He says he didn't know. Needs to be cut some slack as he's come over to watch Stoke at Bolton and took in an England game.

American guy on Facebook getting grief for wearing a Stoke City shirt to this week's England international at Wembley. Apparently wearing club colours to England games is very bad form. Is that right?

I have spent the afternoon in Great Budworth. It's probably one of the UK's best picturesque villages. With cobbles, village stocks, a vast 17th century church and very old pub, it's like travelling back in time.

The Southampton punishment is lenient, isn't it? It does show the value of explaining your case and showing contrition, as the manager has done. He met people like Southgate to get a handle on English football.

Badenoch is obsessed by inheritance tax but only 4.72% of UK deaths resulted in an IT charge in 2023/24, and the average rate actually paid was 13%,not the headline rate of 40%. It's a huge fuss about a minor issue, isn't it?

Up the mighty Sandbach. Also, well done to Leek.

Just chatted to an old reporter friend about when we all spent time in the smoking room, even us non-smokers. It was always the best place to hear the latest stories. Lung cancer here we come!

I have never heard or seen the guy on the TV who says he's the Shadow Defence Minister. I am generally up with the political scene so either I'm having a senior moment or he's been mr anonymous.

Agreed, I was more thinking what would you do if you were her.

What would you do in this situation?

People writing off Tom Curry and then 21 tackles and 10 carries yesterday. As on the Lions tour, TC always answers his critics #SaleSharks.

Mirroring the likes of Gullis. There's now a major gulf between the two big parties. No-one should be a floating voter any more.

This nonsense from Badenoch about it being wrong to deny people on £100,000 child care funding. If someone paid me £100,000 a year, I'd give the benefit to a homeless shelter.

Superb win. Big one for the defence #SaleSharks

There are around 350 settlements in Europe with a population of over 200,000 people. Only two have never had a professional soccer team. Those two are Wakefield and Warrington and they meet in the RL final today.

I gather there were 4 English council by-elections last night and Reform didn't win one of them. Is Farage now toxic and could he quit soon?

He's certainly looking strong. A big presence.
