So that's you outside my house! I wondered what was going on. I'll look you out some clothes, what size are you, looks like XXXL from here but it might be that Yogi Bear costume making you look bigger. Leave that Martin Out placard by the gatehouse and walk up the drive, I'll get one of the staff to let you in.

My son and I waited down the front at the end in the pissing rain with our little home made sign, but Brooks refused to give us his suit jacket. He's clearly some sort of prima donna who thinks he's too good for the cup. 😡

Without game time I think it's unlikely that Brooks will get 90 mins, but if he does start I'd expect to see him out wide, very wide.

It's unwise to try to book back into a hotel after smearing shit up the walls and telling all the staff and other guests to go fuck themselves. All anyone has ever wanted with the EU is a sensible relationship with near neighbours, but that requires mature diplomacy from a skilled minister, so we'll have to wait for one of those to turn up.

Nothing says twat quite like some bloke who gives himself a nickname in the hope that his little gammon army will run with it. I can think of many factual descriptions of Boris Johnson but at no point does he strike normal people as the big dog in any situation - other than being a corrupt, privileged, cowardly, divisive and useless lying clown, who will fuck literally anything that crosses his path. In that scenario, I'll grant you, he's the guvnor, the top man.

That's direct from the King of the Gammon Mike Graham, a talent-free chubster who spouts scripted hate-for-cash clickbait to generate income and rile up his angry little gang of easily-led pensioners. I didn't know his business still existed as a thing - and you seem to have accidentally edited his name off the top. Could that be because he has zero credibility with normal people?

Isn't it more of a great example that the Home Office isn't working? How on earth does someone like that get through our immigration system, and why is former Home Office minister Jenrick deflecting blame to solicitors and vicars? Then again who would ever employ Jenrick, and why isn't he in prison? So many questions....

Good idea, and if Dido needs help her good friend Matt Hancock knows a guy who has a window box - he can sell us roses at £30m each, while Chris Grayling can open up that Dutch market by sailing a fleet of warehouses between Gibraltar and the new freeport at Keswick.

I blame the punitive EU.

I'm sure his habit of giving the ball away in dangerous places will go down a treat in Serie A. In a possession-obsessed league, have Juventus actually seen him play? He'll be back, and hopefully a better player for it, hope he does well.

Massive inconsistency with cards, missed some obvious fouls - apart from that, he had a great game.

They'll never light again.

This is the first time in years that while being behind, even after 80 mins, it always felt like we would definitely get something. Too many years of chasing an equaliser watching the clock tick down with no hope or attacking threat. It's a new era of optimism and positivity.

The non-tax paying billionaires who control the majority of UK media messaging won't change horses until it becomes obvious they are going to be on the losing side. Starmer should be in their offices now having informal chats - they will need each other.

The other pulls his what? Autocorrect.

It reminds me of when Nathan Jones left us, we thought he'd be here forever but you just have to hope that life goes on. We got over it, they will too.

There's no discrimination Lord T, I'm not looking to ban anyone from voting, especially the genuinely thick as they wouldn't operate pen and paper, it's the moderately stupid we need to tackle, the Gullis and Anderson types, they're the dangerous ones. But if we leave something shiny outside the Polling Station, or have Mrs Brown's Boys running on a big screen, that should occupy them while democracy is served.

Boris perfected a new approach, promise absolutely everything and concentrate your efforts not on policy but on coming up with a distraction or an excuse when you fail to deliver. The other thing is we have maybe 20% on the left and the same on the right who will always vote that way. Boris didn't care about them, he was just making up stuff for the other 60%, of which a considerable number are not interested or so thick they fall for any old drivel they see written on a bus. The key is winning over those simpletons, the ones who can't grasp the concept of things like roundabouts or corkscrews, you wouldn't trust them to sit the right way on a toilet, but they are still allowed to go into polling stations to cause chaos.

I wouldn't read too much into this minor setback, these little things happen to the best teams over the course of a season, especially if they can't defend a fucking corner. it's just a six-game blip.

Football's fun again. 👍

The Lib Dem minister is one of the seventeen Post Office ministers of all parties who failed to deal with this. But with the lies getting worse and the proof coming to light in the last decade, the latter ministers should perhaps be under more scrutiny. Add in the direct link between the Conservative party and Fujitsu and you can see that the focus on the Lib Dems and the former DPP is just electioneering distractions. Like a war.

The investigator on the stand today has suffered a right kicking - he's made it quite clear he's not a technical expert, yet he was quizzing people about Horizon and then giving expert evidence in trials where people were convicted. Headlines so far today seem to be that they withheld evidence from defence teams, persisted with the line that no one else was having a problem, and it's come to light that investigators had statements written for them by Post Office solicitors or Comms teams that they had to sign as their own. We also now have a direct link between Fujitsu and the government, in the form of Clark Vasey - which might explain the contracts being awarded. The problem Post Office management might find is that a few of the little people they are throwing under the bus might start chucking shit grenades around.

If I was going to choose a hill to die on it wouldn't be Mount Fujitsu, but each to their own. 🤡

Someone said Fujitsu had been awarded £7 billion of contracts by us in the last ten years - why? Chuck in Vennells' links to Dido Harding and the Johnson cabinet, and it looks a lot like we have all been taken for mugs. It's also a disgrace that it's taken a frigging ITV drama to get the pursuit of justice back on the front pages. It's been an absolute shitshow of lies, incompetence and fraudulent behaviour, and those responsible have walked away unharmed. How do they sleep?

When Che Adams sits on the bench watching you miss decent chances and then wanders on and casually shows you how to take a half-chance, you've got a problem.
