Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 04/10/2026People 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. 000
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Burnham’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. 071
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Honestly, that entire second half was painful, pathetic, and embarrassment. Just a horrible watch. #nufc 120
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Sean is very neat and tidy for such a young-steur. #nufc 260
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I for one welcome our mass-extinction inducing, deep-fake propagating, career-smashing, super-intelligent AI overlords. 110
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Saw 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. 120
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Disappointed 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: 120
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Unbeaten this season ✅ Results at least as good or better than against same opponents from last season ✅ Cardiac-arrest inducing game plan ✅ #nufc 020
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Of course I transferred Isak out of my team yesterday. 000
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Hearing Burnham credit Brexit with contributing to economic flatlining is a breath of fresh air. About time. 030
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Am I crazy in thinking that we have a stronger squad than Villa? 100
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Sad to see Spurs being foodchained by City #nufc 0160
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I 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. 3100
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Another great performance and result for Like A New Signing United. #nufc 140
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Sure, our goals have been nice to watch but please can someone post *that* Tel free kick. #nufc 460
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 28/08/2026🎵 Have you ever seen a Mackem in Barcelona? 🎵 #nufc 330
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Feel for Hall. He was outstanding otherwise. Lots to be pleased about today. #nufc 110
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Wissa again - just amazing. Looks worth every penny. #nufc 020
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Bulbs flicker throughout the land and the national grid buckles under the strain of people suddenly transferring Spurs players out of their fantasy football team. 041
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This has been a hilarious season opening Saturday. Keep it coming please. 160

Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Don’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 160
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Looks like Man U should have bought a new fullback #nufc 270
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I 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 250
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Are there any #nufc fantasy football leagues? 101
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Enjoying 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. 1112
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Found 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 220
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 16/08/2026To all bedwetters: we are only two or three signing away from having a team that’s definitely not going down #nufc 030

Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Newcastle deservedly equalise to the sound of 100,000 beds being unwetted. #nufc 050
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 14/08/2026It’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”. 171
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Global warming deniers should be made to stand outside all day without water or sunscreen. 052
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 12/08/2026NASA: 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. 010
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The 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. 220
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Woke 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 5300

Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026I’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 3130
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Isak, 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 340
Paul Stothard @paul-stothard.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Infantino’s proposed sale of the World Cup is one of those dreadful moments when you have to stop and wonder at how cynical, venal and utterly shameless a person can be. 020
