The best thing about the whole Man City debacle is all the former Man U and Liverpool players droning on and on about how they wuz robbed. Because they were, horribly and completely robbed and there’s nothing they can do about it, except remember coming second. Forever. #ManCity

The removal of Hallyard's Castle from ILI's Cato data centre site in Auchertool, Fife, was just confirmed. This is exactly the type of overgrown ruin that roosting bats and nesting birds love. Yet no ecological survey of the ruins has been published in Cato's planning documents.

Phoning random numbers in America to ask if anyone has seen Louis Reed. Until you randomly contact the San Francisco office of the FBI. He wasn’t there either.

The sort of outrage generated by this mirrors all the commentary around that Saudi Comedy Festival; we all know rich performers and celebrities (and their managers and promoters) like money, and anything that gets in the way of that is basically heresy to that holy love of money and fame.

Probably a bad game (in retrospect) to introduce the new backup keeper. Fine margins playing a team full of expensive attackers, it just went wrong for them. And we were made to look a bit…basic? No star players to help out. No dubious penalty decisions. Still - 6 fucking goals in one half… 😔
