Loved seeing David Byrne at Halifax Piece Hall tonight. A bucket list gig for me that one, and a magnificent venue for it.
I haven't clicked on this ad but I have to say I'm intrigued by how these are 'perfect for running'
@footballcliches.bsky.social Official football club Strava accounts are now a thing for some reason
@footballcliches.bsky.social the Mechelen spell stops Erwin Koeman from having a satisfyingly symmetrical club career
Whether this means anything or not I've no idea, but the betting markets have tightened on Boro getting promoted
For a dedicated football magazine, and one that isn't cheap, this is an incredibly half arsed World Cup wallchart from FourFourTwo. Would half an hour of a graphic designer's time have killed you, guys?
Another couple here if Leo Castledine had header this anywhere other than directly upwards (I'm going to stop now, this is killing me)
Another two points here at Blackburn if Aidan Morris didn't thrash at this
Probably another two points gained if Sol Brynn doesn't rugby tackle a striker who is harmlessly running towards the edge of the pitch at Swansea
Torturing myself with Boro if-onlys. Exhibit A: George Edmundson HEADING THIS OUT FOR A CORNER cost Boro 2 points.
According to the xG this is Boro's worst miss of the season (I dismissed a couple that I didn't think we genuine shots) Alan ******** Browne, indeed. Looked bad in real time but this still image makes it look horrific.
Not the most fun night at the Boro last night. Dreadful game, terrible nervy, knackered performance. Doesn't remotely matter though, 3 points is all that mattered from that one. If I'm Hellberg now I rest everyone of any importance for the next 2 games. Play all the reserves and kids.
In Falkirk and looking at the big horses. Convinced horse number 2 has just squared the ball across to horse number 1 and he's fluffed it.
Basically just clinging onto the fact that Sunderland went into the play offs on *this* run last season and won them
