Fresh like a box of Krispy Kreme.
Taking a break from Twitter's endless Teemu ads and right wing poison to post rubbish about Workington Reds, Newcastle Utd, Green Bay Packers and athletics on here instead.
Gutted I can't make it to Bury to watch the Reds today

I absolutely loved this when it was on. Unfortunately if it ever came back, it would be too watered down I reckon
23 years ago today, ESPN debuted Playmakers, a scripted drama of a football team full of off-field issues.

The show was a hit, but ESPN shelved it after one season, because the NFL was mad.

I spoke to all the major players about What Happened:

Kevin Keegan changed two football clubs on the pitch, Liverpool and Newcastle United. He also altered Tyneside's perception of itself. On Sunday – Newcastle v Liverpool – he will be honoured at St. James' Park, a stadium constructed on his ambition. Get there early. www.nytimes.com/athletic/752...
Liverpool, Newcastle and Kevin Keegan the catalyst
Keegan's impact at Newcastle United and Liverpool cannot be underestimated and helped shape those clubs into what they are today

I'm not an avid follower of women's football, but Brighton and Man City are both really good to watch. Bunny Shaw is absolutely class.

Is there anything better in the world than the first sunny evening tip run, summer opening hours, spot's deserted and you get to look right down the Ennerdale valley while chucking old garden crap out. Superb 👍🏻

Overhead at the gym:

- any plans for Easter, Daz?

- yeah mate, kids are with their mum so I've bought myself a massive f*** off Easter Egg, a bottle of JD and all of the Fast and Furious movies on Blue Ray.

The run Reds are, I'd back Billy Barr for manager of the month, manager of the season, The Masters, The Grand National and Wimbledon. Up the Reds!

Nevermind Neymar being left out, how has Joelinton not been called up? The man's been back to his best recently
Brentford striker Igor Thiago and Bournemouth forward Rayan have both received their first senior Brazil call-ups, but there is no place in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for Santos forward Neymar.

Mind boggling. Incredible.
🚨 WORLD RECORD 🚨

Less than a week after moving to third in world history in the indoor 800m, Keely Hodgkinson blasts a 1:54.88 in Liévin to break Jolanda Čeplak’s previous high-water mark.

Čeplak ran the previous record on the same day Hodgkinson was born nearly 24 years ago.

Playoff football is regular football suddenly played at 1.5x speed. It's an absurd phenomenon. Incredible stuff.
