I like Oseni.

Yeah he's raw, but is comfortably ahead of Pepple.

And he's not alone in needing work in holding the ball up, I'd argue all three strikers need to be much better at it. Bustling runs are great, but every now and then just keep it. #pafc

When the respective John's of Entwistle and Deacon have played it, it's worth raiding the piggy bank.

Cleverley continues his devoutly pacifist approach to football tactics. #pafc
December 9, 2025 at 8:41 PM
So far I think I've seen:

5311
4411
442(ish)

Also - Cleverley moaning at an official on 8 mins.

Hazard trying to catch the ball when a Wycombe player was clearly beating him to it. #pafc

At this point I have no clue what is happening. I know these names, where they prefer to play... So...

I'm guessing two straight lines and Oseni on his own like an island in the middle of the Pacific.

Shuffle, side step,
Pass, pass, launch,
Throw in,
Side step, shuffle,
Ah bugger. #pafc

Doctor Who has been an expensive (indulgent?) exercise in fan-fiction for the past 20 years.

Irregular scheduling, years off, galactic shark-jumping mini-seasons with an old Doctor brought back. Any wonder an audience feels fed-up?

The classic also started eating itself, time is circular it seems.

Near two-score cautions,
Three red cards.
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!

Touchline bans,
Misconduct charge.
Oh the doo-dah day!

I hear the Devon FA is about to bestow a Peace Prize on me for once breaking up an argument on the touchline of a DJM game when I was a 17 year-old referee.

Better late than never ah?

iPlayer has this cracker - Horror Express, starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Telly Savalas guests as a Cossak.

A fossilised ape man thaws out and causes mayhem on a train. Guests include a Polish spin on Tsar Nicholas and Princess Alexandra with their own personal Rasputin in tow.

Would help if Cleverley took responsibility once.

He has a poor disciplinary record.

The team has poor discipline.

He always excuses himself. He's blamed players, recruitment and officials. Admit you set up wrong. Admit you're over complicating. Hold your hands up, you might improve. #pafc

I see the National Theatre is going for the price gouging that is "Dynamic Pricing".

Despite considerable ACE funding, commercial backing, tours and stunt casting, watch those prices really only rise.

Maybe drop streaming in cinemas when local theatres are struggling? Might save you a few quid...

Not to worry, it's of enormous comfort that he's going to be here until January, be given the transfer window AND beyond regardless what the data says. #pafc

All very League One. Quality lasts a few minutes at best, then it's about efficient structure.

Why we've been caught out by how physical it is, having only been here a few seasons ago makes no sense. #pafc

The Old Boys all starting today.

Total number of appearances is over 1,500 and a combined 100 years on this planet.

Not one of them born before 1990... #pafc

Trying to work out if Cleverley's "In the last five games if you split it down into halves I have been really pleased with eight of them..."

... Is on a par with Fletcher only playing Chadwick because he's "Better at defending corners."

Adams insisting a 5-1 loss was close, is up there too. #pafc

Given the regimes buying up clubs and also becoming World Cup hosts without due process... The modern slaves used to build stadiums and those who lost/lose their freedom and lives... Infantino butt-kissing dictators...

I dunno, maybe Murderball?
The world is coming to the U.S, Canada and Mexico for the World Cup.

So at Friday's draw and through next summer, is it "soccer" or "football" or "fútbol"?

@henrybushnell.bsky.social gets varying takes from the organisers who represent the diverse selection of host cities.

The arts is full of unpaid 'opportunities' but when leading organisations have them, many of us do.

When it comes to the question of "We want to understand your passion for applying?" the temptation to write "I'm fucking applying aren't I?" is great. That's all they should need to know.

It's a minor miracle he's got double figures for us and now Tolaj goes on his little holiday. I assume a National Express trip to the Christmas markets of the Westcountry.

With him it looks like hard work to score. Without... 😬 #pafc

One step above a late pre-season game, which is where this competition really belongs.

Playing a 442, but one where no one seems to be allowed to overlap on the outside. Or go on the outside. #pafc

The team do have to do much better, but Clev has had excuses made for him be it injuries, the recruitment is wrong etc. No addressing his own inability to organise and especially to motivate.

If I were the squad, I'd feel further hung out to dry. Going to get uglier isn't it? #pafc
