Fabulous live music, often free in the pub rock days. I was at this gig at the Marquee. Unforgettable
@noscoredraws.com spotted one of yours in the wild. Grandson has given up but daughter undeterred
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Ghost of White Hart Lane again, a play intertwining the life of John White with his son's story of discovering his father's character. It's on for another week in Highgate
Good piece. In contrast here is a screenshot of seat availability in my section of the south stand for tonight's 8pm kick-off. Available seats in colour. And you can't buy them unless you have a membership, min cost £45, and seats costs £62.50. There's a message there, clubs won't listen though
Let's not forget Reform's targeting children with special needs. Acute lack of resources for some of our most vulnerable children, but no, problem is over-diagnosis and other children feeling left out. One solution - ban neurodiverse children from wearing ear defenders in school. Utterly disgusting
Mornings flickering through the doom and gloom on the Guardian app enlivened by the Amazon ads tailspinning out of control. Obviously process of elimination before they get text and pic to match.
Hey pop pickers, Spurs own avant garde jazzers named after Ledley. From latest When Saturday Comes @wsc.co.uk
From the Guardian's report on the likely new Southampton coach. In future, compulsory to add manager's musical tastes to his CV in any media article. Stuart Pearce big on punk, Ainsworth a rocker - who else?
Spurs merch in time for Christmas includes a "collapsible laundry bin", a reminder presumably that with Spurs you're never that far away from a collapse, and a 'First Words with Spurs' bathbook. Not clear what baby Spurs fan's first words will be. Mate? Forward? How much?!?
Agree especially with this section. Strategic naivety - no idea how to achieve their goals, always aim to have a seat at the top table without pushing on for success
Here's me thinking I have bought a holdall but not at all sure now. Thinking I've fundamentally shifted the boundaries of time, space and culture
Thank you for the idea. Could truly identify with that lovely piece, except I'm (probably) twice your age so have been failing to enjoy reading for twice as long. So here's what shall be known henceforth as the Reading Chair
I've written, today and in the past, about how price rises erode fans' resilience and goodwill, which ultimately doesn't help the atmosphere and the team. Board ignore this aspect of support when taking their decisions. Well...
Tell us a perfect album that came out when you were 16 It's not perfect but it's still great. Headphones on and turn it up...
Lovely words in today's Guardian from @damejulie.bsky.social for our lovely friend Pete Haine
