Interesting discovery today that the ability to read or speak properly is not a requirement for getting a job as a World Cup draw presenter or ball-opener.

I feel sick. Trump and "Jonny" were so vile

Yesterday was very nice, for varied reasons. Mentally exhausting but ultimately exhilarating 😊

The best band I have ever seen live - Wolf Alice. That was absolutely incredible. Astonishingly brilliant.

Swansea at home followed by Wolf Alice, not far from home. I know which one I'm looking forward to the most tomorrow. Sorry Albion. It's not you.

I agree with Mason's concerns raised today about the fixture scheduling (an ideal way to plan for tomorrow!).
Its just not fair that we have to play all these teams we cannot beat.

Good Managers can see the repetitive negatives of a team & resolve them in reasonable time. They can inspire confidence, bravery & improved performance in average players. They work on the importance of attacking set pieces. They can make game changing subs. Sadly, we dont have that Manager. #wba

Looked up the definition of 'Must win'. It says, See 'Won't win'.

I'm not sure I like football any more. Not at the moment anyway. I blame Ryan Mason for this. And it's not just because he says "froo" instead of "through". Though that doesn't help.

Exposed to the cold, torrential rain (4 rows from front of East Stand) towards the end of yesterday's game, was not even the worst part of the game. The variable weather conditions during the 90 odd minutes added a welcome change from the otherwise tedious predictability.

Every interview Ryan Mason gives is exactly the same. In the tone of an extremely dull 'Teams' training module where you can keep your camera off and volume muted.

Ryan Mason is potentially one of our worst Managers in the modern era. That’s quite an achievement.

I think we should forfeit today's game. Same outcome but less painful.

Still annoyed by last night's game. Hate how slow we play. And how predictable we are. And our lack of goal threat. And if we do take the lead, we immediately stop going forward. Average team at best. Below average Manager.

We make every opposition look better that they really are.

Got a bad feeling about tonight's game. That said, I always do.

Seems that Trump is knocking down a nice bit of The White House just to make a room for his balls?

I've come to the conclusion that 'The Clearing' by Wolf Alice is probably one of my top 10 albums ever. And certainly the best in the last 30 odd years. Listened to it loads and it still gets better every time.

Today's events have conclusively demonstrated that there are extremely dangerous lunatics either already in positions of power or designs to be in power, regardless of things like democracy and basic decency. And deliberately fueling the uneducated, flag obsessed morons.

I've often wondered what the extraordinarily thick racist, Reform voting, Brexit voting, Farage & Trump sniffing, conspiracy believing morons used to do before social media was invented. I assume they were still there somewhere, seething at their own inadequacies. But it seemed nicer at such times.

Just relaxing at home, flicking through stuff on my phone and it made me realise, a large percentage of the British public are fucking idiots. Certainly seems that way. Must be so many who never went to school. And they believe any old shit. Angry, gormless c***s.
