People often ask me: “why don’t you run the Chichester Half Marathon?”. The answer is “because you have to climb to the top of the downs”. And because I’m too fat.

Burnham’s speech was the best I’ve heard from a British prime minister for twenty years - although the bar has shockingly low in the meantime.

Honestly, that entire second half was painful, pathetic, and embarrassment. Just a horrible watch. #nufc

Saw Hamilton for the first time yesterday. It was fun in an Obama-era way. The boosting of America’s promise and the japes against ridiculous foreigners probably landed better before American became exclusionary. Odd to watch in London, where we applaud our own conversion into pantomime villains.

Disappointed about the assisted dying vote in the Commons today. It’s inevitable that the law will change in favour of personal choice; which most MPs must appreciate. Parliament should resist being seen as craven and weak on moral issue such as this:

Unbeaten this season ✅ Results at least as good or better than against same opponents from last season ✅ Cardiac-arrest inducing game plan ✅ #nufc

Hearing Burnham credit Brexit with contributing to economic flatlining is a breath of fresh air. About time.

I wonder what this transfer window would have been like for #nufc if none of our big name players had left for mega bucks. Suspect it would have been very miserable indeed - probably with no new signings.

Bulbs flicker throughout the land and the national grid buckles under the strain of people suddenly transferring Spurs players out of their fantasy football team.

Don’t make me tap the “if you permanently appoint the popular but inexperienced caretaker-manager because he did well with hopelessly underperforming team in a few games last season then he’ll probably regress to the mean this season” sign. #mufc

I don’t mean to alarm anyone but bastard badgers vandalised my garden overnight. At least ten plants have been dig up and, in some cases, weed on. It’s tough out there folks. Please try and stay positive & take care of yourselves. #wewillrebuild

Enjoying reading the pundits’ predictions for the forthcoming Premier League season. In summary, the six richest clubs are predicted to finish in the top six and the three newly promoted clubs are predicted to go down, with #nufc and Villa “foodchained” into oblivion. Nice work, Premier League.

Found this awesome scrapbook in a drawer. Think I came by it in the summer before Keegan’s promotion season. Also, proof that we’ve had a worse kit that the current home shirt. #nufc

It’s not great that the government mobile phone warning is the same for “imminent nuclear attack” as it is for “please don’t use your disposable barbecue”.

NASA: Great news, there’s a super-impressive total eclipse and it won’t be repeated for a million years. Also NASA: don’t look at the eclipse.

The Hojbjerg thing sounds to me like the player has demanded wages that, because of the UEFA straitjacket, #nufc have set themselves against paying because it would effectively mean cutting costs elsewhere. That wouldn’t rule out a revival later in the window assuming the club hasn’t moved on.

Woke in terror at 3 am realising that I should have signed at least one fullback by now and then realised I’m not in any way involved in running #nufc

I’m developing a Close Season Hibernation™ pill , £35 quid a pop, you swallow it after the lads have done their lap of honour and you wake up, cheerful and oblivious to whatever horrors have occurred over the summer, on the Big Kick Off day. Who’s in? #nufc

Isak, Bruno, Gordon, Livramento, Hall and now even Joelinton - all have one thing in common. They are now all proven Champions League players and internationals, which means they can all get paid a great deal more than we can afford. That’s why they are/were unhappy - the rest is just noise. #nufc
