Hello new followers!
Here’s a handy explanation of what to expect from me in four images.
Yes I’m one of those wrestling fan losers and yes running became a personality trait in my mid-twenties.
See also: music, trainers, moving away from England (coming in January)…

Incredibly Aussie post coming, but tried that new Solo Energy drink and I can see why it’s consistently on special offer in Woolies — fucking rancid

Would love to know what Grace Clinton has to do to get a start over a half fit Georgia Stanway…

Genuinely despicable how Arsenal have handled the Thomas Partey situation. They actively praised him and looked past it — for years. Really hope his victims can find at least some peace in charges being brought against him. Disgusting.

Tried to sleep it off, but my head is still on Mars — that #MUFC performance was abhorrent. Spineless is an understatement. They never looked like they wanted to win or even knew how to. Amorim’s subs were baffling. This squad must be gutted this summer; a deserved 16th in the PL & deserved losers.

Manuel Ugarte by far the most creative player in that first half in Bilbao, for both teams…

That CM Punk/This Fire Burns promo had me all giddy like a child again jumping up and down in my living room, absolutely stunning work

Fantastic main event and Tiffy vs Charlotte aside, WrestleMania night one was just an episode of RAW with extra MAGA in between

Manchester United have been *so* poor this season & they were far from perfect tonight, but sometimes winning ugly is what you need.
Amorim needed a win like that, the squad needed a win like that. Perfectly imperfect. Makes me miss OT so, so much.
Buzzing for Ruben - let’s win this bloody trophy!

Genuinely gutted about Zirkzee’s injury. Couldn’t have come at a worse time for the kid. Just as he was beginning to find his stride. End this season ASAP.

Very grateful for British daylight savings making football a *tiny* bit easier to watch here in Queensland

Manchester United are the only club in the world who could ship out a player with an obligation to buy and end up with them back in the squad a year later. Absolute circus.

Elisabeth Terland looks even better scoring proper striker’s goals with that cast on her wrist, incredible aesthetic

Adolescence, wow. What a fantastically written and produced show. Harrowing but so, so important. Episode 3 in particular. Perfectly captures how femicide, misogyny and incels have become so normalised in today’s world. Writing, actors, moments big and small — amazing. No notes. Must-watch.

Only Manchester United could spend outrageous amounts of money on assembling a midfield which is incapable of taking the ball off the defence, baffling

So hard keeping up with European football over in Aus, but having caught up on United/Arsenal, really pleased with the signs from that performance.
We always turn up in ‘bigger’ games, but individual performances in particular felt like a big positive.

Set up these United players in any system you could possibly imagine and they’d still look hopeless, because they are. This is not Ruben Amorim’s fault.
