Surprised to see so many headlines from news outlets suggesting Putin has agreed to a ceasefire.

He’s done no such thing. He’s basically said he would do in theory, providing his conditions are met, on his terms. Which is just a variation on what he’s always said.

If you think referees are against you, why give them the ammunition to red card you. By the way, Wolverhampton felt the same way under O'Neil

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

FWIW here’s a non-exhaustive list of inquiries into #CSE in last 12 yrs…

So, 2025 is the year that I get to introduce/inflict my new pseudonymous pen name - S.J. Fleet.

And send this little critter out into the world.

August 2025 will be the debut of The Cut Throat Trial (although you can pre-order now).

And good Lord I’m terrified.

I support Reading. We lose our captain, we replace with a 19-year-old Academy player. And we're 6th. City lose Rodri, and the £bn defence falls apart. I'm not buying it. Pep & his preened superstars should grow up

Andy @snoopythepilot.bsky.social · Dec 24

They also concede more with Haaland in the team. What is the point of a killer, a razor edge, if you don’t actually score more goals, something that was true even before the collapse

Andy @snoopythepilot.bsky.social · Dec 24

Haaland is all about the numbers. Here are some interesting ones. In the five previous seasons without him City scored more goals than they have in two and half seasons with him. With Haaland they average 2.3 goals per game. Without him that was up at 2.6.?

I hate division also and was one of the reasons I moved back south. My family is Scottish, but I'm not, and I got fed up being referred to as f**English. The bigotry & hate stops the country moving forward. The Union Bears don't own the club just as the Green Brigade don't but it will never end
