Right, consider this as me resurfacing after 15 months of madness. What's going on?
New Saints shirt gets my vote because I don't shudder when I look at it. What's the verdict on Downs?
Probs still not playing FPL, as I'm out of the loop. I see Chelsea have bought their 419th fwd.

My 1 year old has already perfected the technique of using a cough to mask a fart. I've never been more proud.

This is terrible to hear and I hope he pulls through ok.
This underlines (yet again) the PL's lack of interest in player safety. The late offside flags need to stop (so many avoidable injuries) and there needs to be more care about releasing a player back onto the pitch after a serious collision.

Thanks so much to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts. The guys completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Sunday and have so far raised over £4,500 for Sheffield Children's Hospital.
All made possible because of the generosity of so many ♥️

Remember the time we sold this guy because he didn't match the manager's style, only to sack said manager within 6 months.
But don't worry, SR know what they're doing.

You know we had a period a while back when people said they were struggling to discern reality from satire? We've now got to the point where reality is so crazy/terrifying that it's gone the other side of satire. People would say anything fictional of this nature was just in bad taste.

This is just a friendly reminder that it's 261 days since #saintsfc agreed compensation with United for Wilcox.
But hey, it's not like SR have got a track record for lunatic decisions when the DoF/recruitment post isn't filled. January 2023 is a shining example. 😳

Having now matched Thierry Henry, Salah 'only' needs 13 more goals this season to go clear fourth in the all-time PL goalscorers list (2 to Lampard, 9 to Aguero, 12 to Cole).
At the rate he's going this season and with his ridiculously good injury record, you'd really fancy him to do it...

2024, you were the hardest year ever (and yet the best too?). 2025, I'm relieved to see you coming and hope you're a bit kinder to my little family.

Juric seems to be basically everything Russell Martin isn't. And you can say that's a good idea because the results weren't there but what the hell does that say about the overarching strategy? We tore everything up to go after Martin and now we're starting again... again.

So #saintsfc are employing a manager known for aggressive high pressing (so a complete change in style) for a 6 month stint, when we already know how that stint finishes - in relegation. I don't see much logic in it, aside from 'he's free'. SR have made it very obvious they weren't ready, imo.

I've got to that panicked stage of online Christmas shopping where I'm at real risk of unintentionally spending hundreds of pounds on someone because I've forgotten what I've bought them.

I don't believe for a second that sacking him is going to make a difference to survival but I guess they'd have looked borderline negligent to let it continue. It's a shame it didn't work out.
