Great nostalgia blast tbf.

Lads I'm watching Gladiators til just before kick off. I'll have to catch LW at half time.

I use a browser for twitter cos the app is shite. And I go to twitter.com rather than x. Then, instead of using the share button, I just copy the url for the tweet. You have to click into the tweet, you can't just share from your timeline, but that's how I do it.

Start at the new place a week on Monday. I'll get back to you. On paper it's the same job I've done the past 5 years, which has been alright. If I'm honest though, I'm basically fully focused on retiring 12 years from now. That's the goal anyway. Any jobs I have between now and then are about ticking the years off, and not much more.

All perfectly normal behaviour. On BBC News this morning they mentioned a teacher interrupting the kids in the middle of an exam to tell them.

Sunderland take the lead, absolutely ruining the mackem from work's day out. Mickey B's flipped the script on him.

Lewk the mag being a mag again.

S3 is out on Feb 13th. Just in time for Valentine's day. "Ere Stayucey. Will ya suck us off while I watch STID like?" "Will ah fuckun wot ya stewpid little mug?!" "Hawez man Stayuss! It's Valentines man!"

Mackem at work was telling me yesterday that he'll be "doing his best to get Beale sacked" today. Nice to go to the match with a plan.

I'm saying that I think battling for a European spot is an appropriate level of expectation for us atm. £400m is nowt in the grand scheme of things - it's absolutely not enough to make you a fixture in the top 4 or a regular smasher of teams like PSG. If we end the season as poorly as we've played recently, it'll be an anticlimax. If we go on an absolute tear and finish top 5, it'll be class. I'm basically saying there's still something to play for. Losing today wouldn't end our season.

Badenoch's tinder bio.

There's still 17 league matches to play and we're 3 points off a European spot. This time two seasons ago, we still looked a good bet for relegation. You would have killed for our current position as recently as that. Last season has completely mangled expectations.

The front page of today's Daily Star is a picture of Klopp with the headline "Fangs for the Memories", and there's a cut out and keep Jurgen Klopp smile inside.

Imagine how desperate you must be for paid work to take that gig. You know you're gonna get rinsed by pretty much everyone but you can't say no.

You mean you missed them playing the Tory Party conference, the absolute bellends?

How are you at getting jokes, would you say?

She seemed fine on the Uncloaked show. They're still pals. But aye while it was going down, I was saying to my lass that she's gonna have PTSD.

I've got Uncloaked on now.

That didn't even occur to me. I'd have been as flummoxed as her.

Unreal telly, the Traitors.

Whatever, Van Morrison.

Oof, I'm sorry to have to report that they all look the same to PaddockLad!

VAR's back and chatting shit again. Bobb offside by maybe 2 inches. A goal in any decade prior to this one.
