Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Oasis in Cardiff last night. Simply an incredible, out-of-body experience. Never known an atmosphere like it. The most joyous, life-affirming gig I’ve been to. Two hours of greatest hits. I don’t think it’ll ever be surpassed for me. 020
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I’ve paid more than I wanted to - but I’ve got a ticket for Oasis in Cardiff on Saturday. Bloody hell. I’m actually going! 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Too many people fail to understand that two things can be true at the same time. Yes, Iran’s nuclear program is a dangerous threat to the region. And yes, the US and Israel’s interventions risk the rapid escalation of an already volatile situation. The world isn’t black and white. It’s nuanced. 000
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 11/06/2025My fear with the Tuchel appointment was that it smacked of panic. Why? England had just reached their second major final in three tournaments. There was no need for a revolution. Instead of carrying on the huge progress made under Southgate, it feels we’re back to square one #ENG 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 07/06/2025It’s 2038 and a 47-year-old Jordan Henderson captains England for their World Cup opener against Senegal… 110
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 07/06/2025Went to see Sam Fender in London last night. He was sensational - a phenomenal talent. A poignant encore finished with Hypersonic Missiles. He referenced the line about kids being bombed in Gaza. Though the song was written in 2017, it has never been more relevant. 020
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 25/05/2025Eclipsing our record points tally and matching our highest league finish represents a successful season. Our performances tailed off at the back end, which suggests our squad lacks depth. With Huijsen and Kerkez on their way, our recruitment team will need to earn their money this summer! #afcb 030
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I voted for Milos Kerkez as my #afcb player of the season. There’s so many worthy contenders, including Christie, Zaba and Huijsen, but Kerkez has been consistently brilliant this campaign. He’s resilient, tenacious, combative and creative; the ideal modern left-back. A pleasure to watch. 021
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 17/05/2025How anybody can literally walk away from a crash that huge is testament to the safety measures in #F1 nowadays. There’s no doubt it just saved Yuki’s life. Astonishing. 020
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 11/05/2025For supporters to boo a player who’s represented their club for all his life, just because he wants a fresh challenge, is why I really struggle with modern football. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Ten years since we won the league at the Valley. Wow. How time flies! Having missed the Bolton game, nothing was going to stop me from getting to Charlton. And what a day it was. A stunning performance and the best possible ending. The memories haven’t faded at all #afcb 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 23/04/2025What do I know? Ronnie was at his fluent best today. A near-flawless performance. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 22/04/2025He can’t be the force he once was, but there’s still very little I enjoy more than watching Ronnie O’Sullivan play snooker. I’d give anything to see him live. 020
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Taking pride of place at the top of the staircase. Beautiful #afcb 060
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Yesterday’s Man Utd match is further proof that you should never, ever leave a football match early. It’s not over till it’s over. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Sitting in a waiting room in Bournemouth Hospital this morning and the first song I hear is Circle of Life. Irony is not dead. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 13/04/2025Man I hope this is Rory’s year. More than a decade without a major, but victory today to complete the grand slam would cement his legacy as an all-time great. He’s had so many near misses in recent years. It’s enormous pressure, but surely this has to be his time #masters 020
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 12/04/2025Masters Saturday means an evening in front of the TV, watching golf’s best major (sorry The Open, but it’s true). It’s the same as Masters Thursday, Masters Friday and, yes, you’ve got it, Masters Sunday. 000
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Free-kicks aren’t struck any sweeter than those two by Declan Rice. And on the biggest stage to boot. Thrilled for Rice; he’s a fabulous player who is seriously underrated. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 07/04/2025I’m a huge fan of snooker, but I’m conflicted on seeing veterans like John Higgins still winning tournaments. It’s not his fault - he remains a brilliant player. But every sport needs new idols in order to survive. Where are snooker’s? 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Our own campaign notwithstanding, I can’t remember a less exciting Premier League season. Matches have become overly tactical and formulaic. Perhaps it’s a one-off, or maybe the bubble’s burst? #afcb 020
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 01/04/2025April Fool’s Day feels kind of redundant now that Donald Trump is president again. The world is just too crazy. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 30/03/2025The second half was such an anti-climax. I can accept being beaten by Man City, but to go out with such a whimper is hugely disappointing #afcb 041
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Enjoying a cuppa in my new favourite mug, courtesy of the @afcbpodcast.com guys. Up the Cherries! #afcb 050
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Andoni Iraola spotted at Ashdown Leisure Centre this evening. Someone told him not to go to Spurs and he laughed, apparently! #afcb 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Gareth Southgate once again shows himself to be a class act. His comments on the lack of role models for young men, and the traps into which they can fall as a result, are extremely topical. His Dimbleby lecture is well worth listening to. 030
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Thrilled for Eddie Howe. His CV deserves a major trophy, which will hopefully dispel any doubts about his coaching credentials. He is top drawer. We were incredibly lucky to have him for as long we did at #afcb 0111
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 02/03/2025It just had to be, didn’t it? Only saving grace is that it’s a home draw. We’ve beaten them once and can do it again. There’s nothing I want more this season than a Wembley semi-final date #afcb 030
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Justice is done. It would have been a travesty if we’d not gone through today (although our wayward finishing didn’t help matters). Can we dare to dream! Of course! What is sport without dreaming if what might be? #afcb 0110
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 28/02/2025We all knew Trump was unfit to be president, but JD Vance really is a nasty piece of work. 170
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 26/02/2025These ‘free speech absolutists’ sure do have a problem with free speech, don’t they? The USA’s descent into a fascist regime continues apace. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 23/02/2025I thought Zabarnyi was incredibly hard done by. The tackle wasn’t reckless; it was just unfortunate his boot slipped off the top of the ball. The referee got it right on the pitch (unusually for him yesterday). I’m not sure how the incident met the ‘high bar’ needed to overturn his decision #afcb 140
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 19/02/2025If Zelenskyy were truly a dictator, Trump would admire him because that’s what he wants to be. Trump views democratic processes, like elections, as an inconvenience. What he wants is unchecked control. He wants to be like Putin. A Russian asset is president of the USA. It’s astonishing. 000
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Conor Bradley is a better right-back than Trent Alexander-Arnold. I will never understand the Trent hype. A very good footballer with tremendous vision, but that can’t disguise the fact that defensively, he’s a liability. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 08/02/2025A very topical episode of The Simpsons on Channel 4 right now. Ahead of its time, as always (only by 30 years, in this case). 000
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Football fans love to moan about VAR, but for all its faults, that Harry Maguire winner would’ve correctly been ruled out and nobody would’ve had any complaints. As it is, Leicester have every right to feel aggrieved. They’ve been robbed, through no fault of their own. 110
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 07/02/2025John Oliver is brilliant. He’s not really a household name in the UK (which is ironic, given that he’s British), but his ability to deconstruct complex issues with sharp wit is second to none. 000
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 06/02/2025I’m not convinced that any of the candidates in #TheApprentice is an actual human being. 110
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 30/01/2025There is absolutely nothing for which Trump and Musk will not blame diversity. Californian wildfires? It’s diversity’s fault. Washington plane crash? It’s diversity’s fault. Classic populism. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Is there a better feeling than knowing you don’t have to go to work on Monday? No Sunday night syndrome for me. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 25/01/2025First on #MOTD. Crikey, we really just have impressed the bigwigs today! #afcb 240
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Worst. Ending. Ever. And the most predictable #TheTraitors 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 24/01/2025The Seer is a rubbish addition to the game. Charlotte played a blinder and has only been banished due to bad luck. All the tension has gone from the finale now #TheTraitors 291
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Francesca picked the correct person, but with completely the wrong logic. So does that make her smart, or lucky? The latter, I’d suggest #TheTraitors 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Freddie is an appalling Traitor. Poor bloke just signed his own death warrant #TheTraitors 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 22/01/2025Charlotte was so close to the jackpot, but that move will backfire spectacularly and bring suspicion on her when there was none #TheTraitors 000
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Where was this fact-checking from the MSM before the presidential race? Its failure to hold Donald Trump to account for his avalanche of lies enabled his re-election. The shitstorm about to be unleashed is a direct consequence of the media’s inability to do its job. 010
Rob Meech @robmeech.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Jamie Carragher’s tactical analysis of us is always incredibly detailed and knowledgeable. I’ve always thought he was a fan of Andoni Iraola in particular, and the club in general. Whereas some pundits trot out the usual cliches, Carragher clearly does his research and it shows #afcb 020
