Wish I’d rewatched the Maradona doc before I’d come to Naples.

Arrived in Naples. Hoped to find the Italy game on tv but the telly in the apartment only has odd English channels and there’s a 24/7 Homes Under The Hammer one.

Privatise the rail industry and the only winners will be the consumer… Booked seats which have been double booked on one train out of Euston to Manchester - no aircon in this part of the train - had to ask staff to get my pregnant wife a seat. What a lot of wins.

Someone’s been sticking Boro stuff up in Manchester… Saw this on my way to work today.

Marcus Rashford wearing a hat so plain I did a “graphic design” on it.

Watch Sewing Bee for the wholesome friendships and creativity, stay for the mad monkey.

I might make one of these style T-shirts for Burgzorg. Flashes of brilliance and flashes of falling over. Seems like a lovely bloke.

Massive recommend for this. An animated documentary all about what it’s really like to be a refugee without all the bristling falsehoods from some media outlets. It’s a fantastic piece of work well worth anyone’s time. It’s on Disney and I could not take my eyes off it. Beautiful and sad.

If the Boro official account doesn’t remake this video in the next few days I am going to be LIVID. Your move @mfc.co.uk #utb

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

This will be the last England based post for a while because I am now broadly over the disappointment from Wednesday and considering buying a new Boro shirt BUT you simply cannot say stuff like this having not selected the sorts of midfielders who can control the game.

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I mean I suppose I should be thankful that I won’t have to postpone making my tea. Defensively we’ve been all over the shop. No control in midfield. Rice looks like our best right back somehow. Kane is undeniable.

They are in serious danger of overusing Freed From Desire at the World Cup. This is how you use it… #ourwedding

Spent the last few hours thinking about this photo. “Boy oh boy, that dame sure is swell”

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

This bit in particular… “Yes we did cheat but obtained no benefit from cheating” - Let’s just allow all cheating then and assume that there’ll be no advantage over time from any of it. Great stance.

A story in four parts. Thought we tried our best, Conway a massive miss, need to build on this season next time with this coaching staff at the helm. UNLESS City get relegated on their financial misdemeanours and we get promoted that way… As ever #utb

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Made some content. Yes I work in design.

Heck of a week in the bank. Steady as she goes tonight before the early train to London in the morning #settingsomanyalarms #utb

Hey Siri, show me a photo of a nice man who can’t believe how much of a cunt someone else is…

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Good point. The whole “my arms have somehow ended up around this bloke in a bear hug” look of confusion 😆. I think the shirt grab by Todibo clinches it’s a foul for me but it should be enforced more consistently.

Loved being at the match - South stand atmosphere was amazing - deserved to win that. Hoarse now #utb

Puressence at Manchester Academy tonight. They sort of always felt like my indie band and got me through my early 20s. James Mudriczki still has a banging voice and they played loads of the songs that meant the most to me. Lovely crowd, a few tears and a husky voice for me now…

Huge recommend for this film if you see it anywhere. Gloriously funny and heartwarming and uplifting.

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Got the big guns out to help us to a confidence boosting win later.

Leicester’s demise and Chelsea anti ownership fan rumblings reminded me how glad I am we have Steve Gibson in charge but also of this video from the cup final that Leicester won against Chelsea. Lots to enjoy. I think my favourite character is the old lad in the blue top near the end. Art.

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Watched this again earlier. I think it’s still pretty timeless. Basically an advert for community and connection and getting outside. I love it more every time I watch it. Some of the background stuff and running jokes are flawlessly done.

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

I’m going to send this to the White House if that’s what we’re doing with all our accolades.

Luke Littler is VERY good at darts. Amazing stuff. A last post for this silly thing I made. #pdcworldchampionship #darts #mentalhealth

Made a silly little video for the lads at the #darts…

Tense afternoon for my absolute favourite person up ahead.

HUGE recommend for this. A really interesting documentary about Dene Michaels from Black Lace.

Nice to see Twitter being ever so nice and rational at half time… #utb

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 14/11/2025

I’d like to have seen this alleged informal presentation given by Raphaël Wicky to the Boro higher ups. I’d also like to know how he delivered it. #utb

Michael Shackleton @michaelshackleton.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

A Watford supporting mate saw this on Reddit (I think written by @thisismcfee.bsky.social) so I’m posting it here too. 24 Rob Edwards platitudes. #utb

He didn’t come on and shout “Adrian!” at the final whistle but WHAT A SHINER. Nicked the photo of George off Hayden Hackney’s Instagram… #utb

Just the ten new posts which all seems very similar about the new manager.

Regardless of whether we scrape into the playoffs today or not, this excellent section of writing by @jonathanliew.bsky.social is absolutely bang on. Boro are bang out of luck geographically, financially and chronologically. We’re probably doing well to be where we are. #utb

Been pointed out to me that AI will make up the back story to a phrase if you type one into Google and add the word ‘meaning’ at the end.
