Other place refugee.

Trying to reduce the amount of right wing nonsense that enters my ears and eyes. Hanging on to the 90s by my finger tips.

Shropshire. AVFC. Indie, Old School Hip Hop & Jungle.
Well.
Bloody hell.
What a result!

We said it as a joke at first l, but where would we be now if we’d started the season at the same time as everyone else?

Come On Villa!

Toronto or Dallas. I like the geographical grouping there.

Rio’s a natural

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever watched.

I’m a Villa fan, I watched us lose at home to Stevenage,I sat through the football of Remi Garde, and Steve Bruce.

However I’ve never felt rage like this, watching the bastard Trump World Cup draw with Rio fucking Ferdinand.

I’ll tell you what I’d do Rio.

I’d pull the little balls out of the stupid little pots and put the teams on a fucking spreadsheet some can all go home.

FIFA
Trump
Infantino

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

What a load of corrupt shite.
December 5, 2025 at 5:35 PM
What’s the world record for shouting “fuck off” at the TV in 1 hour?

I expect Infantino and trump to sing a duet in a minute.
December 5, 2025 at 5:24 PM
Did anyone else just shout PRICK a bit louder when that bellend Infantino just said “I can’t hear you.”

Just me then?

Things that’ll make the country better (won’t happen)

Cap on political donations
Proper press regulation
Invest in education, arts, sport, social spaces, youth services, MH services.
Ban X, regulate the rest
Rejoin EU

Build a future for today’s children to thrive & rebuild the country.

I did a lot of my Christmas shopping last weekend and was quite pleased with it.

But this is what really pisses me off!

Two days after buying 3 items from this shop as part of their Black Friday bollocks they pull this out of their arse.

More of a Twitter pointless moan I know but I had high hopes for the return of the Sunday Supplement on Sky Sports.

Alas it’s reverted to type and 90% of the talk is on the same usual 6 clubs, regardless of any actual news around them.

14 other clubs in the league that Sky pay so much to cover!

Anyway. It’s a Villa day so all is well.

Up The European Villa!

The mainstream pre & post budget, and actually all UK political commentary is unwatchable.

It’s all framed by who loses from a policy rather than the wider benefits.

We end up with 10am vox pops from ‘spoons in Walsall rather than proper analysis.

It’s cheap, lazy and drives anger.
November 27, 2025 at 8:35 AM
This is the only post budget analysis paid attention to.

Loved the point about 2nd order effects, and everything being measured by accounting rather than economics.

The whole spectacle of this is a farce even before the budget was leaked ahead of the actual chancellor announcing it.

The country is a shambles but I blame 95% of that on the Tories.

Whatever is in the budget, Badenoch will call on someone to resign today.

See also “lost control of the economy.”

Triffic stuff Villa.

Top 4 looked a long way off after our suboptimal start.

No doubt that #AVFC will turn it around in the second half.

This referee though.

I’ve written to my Labour MP for the 1st time ever.

I’m done with them unless there is a drastic change of direction, sadly that’ll only happen with a change of leadership.

When your policies are celebrating by far right scum, you have to ask what is the point?

I’ve voted Labour all of my life.
November 16, 2025 at 2:52 PM
It’s incredible that the Government have managed themselves into a U-turn on something that they hadn’t actually done.

I’m going day drinking in Shrewsbury with the following:

Neil Maskell
Danny Dyer
Paul Anderson
Tammer Hassan
Eddie Marsan
Jason Statham
Craig Fairbrass
Stephen Graham
Ray Winstone
Derek Chisora
Ben Stokes (in case we get any grief)
Tyrone Mings
Micky Flanagan
Nick Owen

Looking forward to it.
