Seeing that Jimmy Mac lad on Instagram talking about the closure of a pub I play a lot of darts in is surreal to say the least. RIP The Horseshoe…

My missus just clocked Miguel Delaney on Sky Sports News and said he looked like he was about to cry. Had to explain he was currently like a dog with two dicks what with the City verdict. Also SSN, you do not need to do the ALL CAPS on the ticker!

It’s never a good look if your accountancy could cause an 8 page feature in Private Eye… BlueCo have got themselves down to an In The Back column. For now.

@leftback.bsky.social just seen that awful news about the AEW lad dying at 40. Last I recall of him he was a wisp of a kid in Dragon Gate. Vitamin S?

That said, after we got humped by Brentford I looked at the relegation odds in a dark moment. Coral had Citeh at 16/1 last week. I’m guessing it was a hedge considering the appeal process would go into next season?

And Man City’s spending spree makes sense now. I’m assuming a multiple window transfer ban and a fine (not that it will make the owners worry about where the next meal is coming from) I’m going to ignore the fantasy scenarios out there. Can’t see the PL giving out Lance Armstrong penalties.

Just listening to the latest Football Weekly and the discussion regarding a pair of international games that shouldn’t be happening (in my view at least). Will keep an eye out for passive aggressive Jacob Steinberg tweets for the remainder of the international break

Bloody thing ran like it had three legs when I backed it Galway 🤬 Owned by my uncle, bit of a distant man but my aunt Mary was as involved as any in those horses. We lost her last July and Willie Mullins turned up for the funeral service despite the arseload of work he must do day to day…

Anyway, played singles league darts for the first time in six months and burgled a win. I appear to throw like a left-handed Chris Dobey but with less accuracy. I appreciate only @leftback.bsky.social gets this!

The saddest thing is I’m not shocked in the slightest. I just selfishly breath a sigh of relief I live in the London that scares them so much so I don’t need to interact with these inbred cunts.

There are people I know and usually like on there who genuinely believed that shit about a title challenge and are losing their heads accordingly… If someone invents a feature that automatically mutes accounts over there based on location my timeline would be cleansed beyond recognition…

There’s a certain amoeba of a Chelsea fan who was particularly vicious about Kai in his last season and celebrated when he left. Did same with Gallagher. Being as thick as he is, he would not have understood the irony of him being one of those waving European Cup balloons in the away end yesterday…

Not sure we deserved to lose but know we didn’t deserve to win. Still a million times better than the utter dogshit from Chelsea last season, but that midfield man… Get Caicedo on the Ledley King training regime if it helps

Watched that @daraobriain.bsky.social special on Amazon Prime. The brutal dig about Wexford not understanding Pastel Di Natas makes sense by the end. It is a performance that deserves awards outside of comedy. My hat is doffed, go well, except for the Premier League and Leinster hurling!

Stablecoin eh? Hope Chelsea get the money upfront in cash. One season with an option to extend according to Jacobs. Presumably extension is more predicated on whether value of USDC crashes between now and May

The only people who think Chelsea can challenge are people who don’t watch Chelsea week on week. We are missing a sponsor, get the British Heart Foundation involved. With Imodium as a sleeve so you know what to take to stop that familiar sensation when Sanchez does a Sanchez.

A journalist who didn’t indulge in the Arday pile on feeling more reflective and pained than those who did. I feel certain Dunt and Lynskey will eventually produce an Origin Story absolutely tearing certain parties (left and right) limb from limb on how they’ve acted throughout this.

The Rod Liddle biography suggests a certain post-1968 'type' who was just idiotically drawn to norm-breaching, moving via adolescent rebellion, punk, revolutionary socialism, and eventually ending up at racism, because by the 21st century that was the most efficient transgression still on offer

Just realised, with all these issues relating to the FA charges now settled, that one of the excuses they briefed for not having a FoS sponsor have evaporated. Chop chop, that money will come in handy due to the reckless spending!
