I used to be a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory.
Very funny tbh.
🚨 Real Madrid considered Ibrahima Konate but inform Liverpool they have no interest in signing 26yo France int’l. Unresolved #LFC contract situation could still go either way. That + loads more on Jan/summer markets in Transfer Radar 2026 🚨

Princess Diana car crash. Vividly remembering rushing to tell my mum first thing and being screamed at for being a horrid little boy for making up something so vile.
1. What was the first major news story you remember as a child?

Important to me that most of my favourite bands have been massive goths/weirdos who are also massive sports fans.
Jack White is the king of “indie dudes love sports too” representation matters baby

The Labour government said they would massively cut immigration. They have succeeded. The people who hated them, still hate them. The national conversation is still entirely about immigration, and completely toxic.

Completely foreseeable, completely foreseen.
NEW: Net migration to the UK fell significantly to 204,000 in the year to June.

That’s down from 649,000 in the year to June 2024 - a fall of around two-thirds.

Enjoying my flu-riddled brain doing some quantum tunnelling into its own vaults this morning to remind myself of every single banger by AFI that I’d forgotten to listen to for about a decade.

I would love to see men’s football do this for all clubs who’ve qualified for Europe in a season.

Looking after a sick kid when you yourself are very unwell and are suffering from sleep deprivation is like if parenting was designed by FromSoftware.

Exactly the sort of player who should come into his own in a situation like this. Get running at them, bit of give and go, quality in tight spaces.
If Mainoo doesn’t get half an hour tonight his future is very clear.

That’s a fantastic goal. But also, it weirdly felt like it had been coming - Everton carrying the bigger attacking threat since going down to 10

This is the last year I don’t get a flu jab. Feel absolutely horrible. Do not recommend.

Was a local music journo/blogger reviewing gigs and albums. Decided I wanted to be able to say more/know more did a Music Tech degree. Realised I couldn’t stand how pretentious and difficult a lot of musicians are. Tried writing about football. It took. Market forces made me a traffic monster.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Built the boy his first big plastic train set this morning before I headed out to work. Think we might have cracked it. Fully locked in. Mum can put her feet up. Just excellent all around. He’s absolutely buzzing.

One from the archives:

In 2023 Ayesha Hazarika said it was ridiculous the Cheltenham Racing Festival took place in March 2020

But at the very time Cheltenham was taking place in March 2020 Hazarika sneered at those who were demanding more scrutiny of the decisions the govt was taking on Covid

I always believe that being a good coach is key to being a good manager, which is why, when I found out one of our contractors had not yet seen Heat, I talked him into watching it on his three hour train journey out of London last night.
