I’ve written something about Noel Edmonds
‘I am Jesus!’: the TV brilliance of Noel Edmonds
As the presenter makes a comeback with a wild attempt to run a New Zealand pub, we look back on his greatest moments – from gunge-based hysteria to being Brexit’s patient zero

@dtathletic.bsky.social I know "Arsenal" helps with clicks, but he played once for Arsenal, and yet you've led with that. Mentioning his other clubs in the last paragraph doesn't absolve you. Suggest you change your handle to "dtnewarkadvertiser" if we're playing that game? Or go work for the Sun?

People calling for Arteta’s head blows mine. Feel like we’re watching two different clubs. We’re really fucking good & mainly because of him.
Anyway, let’s wrap up a CL spot & hope for better luck with injuries next season. UTA

Turned out that whilst smoking and drinking was (and still is) incredibly cool, it wasn't doing a lot for the old ticker. Lucky for me there are very clever doctors out there. Stay safe kids.

Might as well just refuse to do interviews and put this out after every game. Can't wait for bald Dale and bald Dermot playing mental gymnastics to justify the red.

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.

People keep likening the current mood here to the 2008-10 stretch of Twitter, but it also reminds me of Twitter about two months into Covid when everyone had gone mad and was online almost twenty-four hours, and you'd see a post get 56k likes that just said 'I am sad but have a cat'.
