We’re rehearsing our village pantomime!
Huw Edwards plays Baron Hardup.
Carol Malone & Priti Patel are the ugly sisters.
Gregg Wallace plays Buttons, who hilariously keeps losing his trousers.
Richard Tice is Aladdin.
And here’s Boris Johnson as Mounjaro the Christmas fairy!
🎭😊

Worst performance for quite some time from Stoke.
Looked out of sorts and second best all over the pitch. One to forget.... hopefully we'll be different again at Ipswich on Wednesday

Up in Sheffield today. City of my first proper job for a trip down Memory Lane and then off to the Football.
Sheffield's a decent place with decent people - although I didn't earn a lot I learned plenty. I was very lucky.

In the least surprising news of the year JE Gullis defects to Reform.
I imagine he'll be shouting "Up The Vale!" at their next gathering

A fantastic few days in Oviedo and Asturias which coincided with International Supporters Weekend. Highlights seeing Real Oviedo in the top division and the Peña Wences Do. Some great food & drinks plus a visit to a cider factory & Ribadisella.
Downside not getting back in time to go to the Bet365.

Back in business after leaving my phone in Spain. It may be due to my 3 score and very nearly two years 😁 Anyhow Stoke were great on Saturday and there's real progress there.
Another tough game tomorrow.

Oatcakes are the food of the Gods. As the whole word is seemingly losing its mind I thought I would make my own contribution. Ladies and gentlemen I present.....the blue stilton and mango chutney Oatcake.
It's brilliant....Colston Bassett stilton if anyone is interested.

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.

One of the upsides of going to the dentist in Leek is being able to walk down the road to the finest Oatcake shop in the whole wide world (thank you Wreckless Eric). Thank you Leek Oatcakes!
Cheddar and Bravas sauce if you're asking.
