Can't quite believe I, as an Oldham fan made it to the ripe age of 40 before I realised I shared a birthday with our lord and saviour John Sheridan. Best player I have seen in an Oldham kit.

Had a child free day on Friday - off to the Lakes, the coffin trail from Grasmere and round Rydal Water. A lovely relaxing time was had.

The offside line for one of the Torres misses in the first half had a right angle in it.
England are a good attacking side, but defensively they’re just not coherent

Funny how much better Jude Bellingham is than everyone else in our team. Very much the definition of a Rolls Royce footballer.

Surely must be the end for Mellon at Oldham, 4 losses in a row all against teams that were really non-negotiables for most Oldham fans. Really poor.

The Wire is far too low.
I have seen 72 of these Top 100 TV shows of the 21st century
This a very strong list, but there are many extraordinarily brilliant shows missing:
Ghosts, Derry Girls, For All Mankind, Foundation, What We Do In The Shadows, Detectorists, Rick & Morty, W1A, Young Sheldon, DTF St Louis, Fallout…

Finally got round to watching Napoli this season. Dire, dull, no pace, no threat, bad defence, old. Peak Allegri-ball.

I feel like I'm losing my fucking marbles. The Muppet Show is literally the premise of the Muppet Show.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

I watched Cuckoo and Abigail recently and fair play to Dan Stevens. He is having an absolute blast.
Also more people really should watch The Guest, what a film.

Loved my day at Plas Newydd, lovely spot. Although tbh it was mainly because I had a bara brith ice cream I still think about.

I'm sure the Times and other media outlets will have a period of self-reflection about why an academic had 6 articles on the go about him at the same time, for academic plagiarism. Can't say there was this level of intensity for Matt Goodwin's AI book.

That OKC stint maybe one of my favourite basketball players ever.
Veteran guard Russell Westbrook appears to be calling it quits after an 18-year NBA career.
Westbrook, 37, posted a video to social media that featured career highlights, writing, “Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end.”

Chris O’Shea defends Centrica’s plans as it reports rise in retail profits despite falling customer numbers
The owner of British Gas has claimed that most households would rather speak with an AI chatbot than deal with the company’s staff as it prepares to cut 1,300 jobs from its call centres.

I just assumed they know if we are left alone climate change will continue, raising sea levels and leaving them basically including control of the planet. Then they strike.
One of the biggest mysteries is how Orcas, the ocean’s most efficient predators, have never attacked humans in the wild… almost like they know something we don’t.
