It’s all about the music, still down the front at gigs if my knees are having a good day.

It’s the 30th anniversary of the debut of the Premier League’s greatest ever keeper.

Outfield players going in goal, wearing ill-fitting jerseys, is a sight we may never behold again.

If divorced dads whose kids don't see them could go back to dressing up in superhero outfits and climbing up buildings instead of ushering in fascism I think we'd all be better off quite frankly.

The last teabag in the jar has been held hostage for the last two years. Every time it senses freedom, I drown it with fellow prisoners. As I make 95% of the tea, I reckon this little fucker's got another four years or so.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

We are relieved that Nigel's case is over & feel he was lucky to not get a more severe sentence.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

It’s Dave Mackay’s birthday. You remember him.

Here he is telling Billy Bremner to take a wee bit more care and attention with his tackles, whilst a beautifully bronzed Terry Venables looks on.

We lost one of the people off the coach so we had to leave them behind. We waited an hour, and informed the police. Hope you are feeling better.

If you're traveling by train, buy some fucking headphones. I don't want to listen to your shitty music, hear a crappy American comedy, or listen to a conversation with your significant other who's a bigger twat than you.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.

This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Farewell to the great Gilson Lavis, drummer for Squeeze (and so much more). Here's a fine example of exactly what he did:
