Yaser Asprilla is a) still only 22 and b) bringing to realise the potential we saw at #watfordfc. Imagine if we still had all the players who’ve been through doors.

#Watford promising if frustrating game vs WBA. Payero improved, Bravo needs a little more finesse in his finishing. Coulibaly and Mavididi look decent. FB is now an issue. K9 linked nicely but blunt up top. Keben with some customary errors. But hopeful second half. Bove is a machine. #COYH

Excellent first half and gutsy backs-to-wall second half performance for #watfordfc today. Loved the KJ tribute, Iker Bravo’s pace and energy, Nabizada’s goal and Kyprianou’s leadership in midfield. A lot to like, coach has his players battling for each other. Great start.

This shouldn’t get lost in today’s general drama
Reform UK claimed to have the “best vetting in the country”.

Their candidates told a different story.

Here are some with records of racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, conspiracy theories and links to far-right groups.

They are now in office and must be held to account. 🧵

The forgotten story of … 17 November 1993 | Rob Smyth
The final night of the old World Cup qualifying system was a sensory overload of drama that included death, ‘murder’, illegal aliens – and Jack Charlton almost chinning Tony Cascarino

RIP David Lodge. What a huge, huge figure he was in my life from the 80s to the mid-90s. I might have to re-read all the Rummidge novels.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.
