Aston Villa home & away and enjoy a bit of cricket too. I also dabble in politics (Lib Dem member 🔶) & current affairs. Based in Slough.

Personally, I don't boo Grealish, but I won't fawn over him either. I think for a lot of the supporters, the booing comes from sheer frustration. The lad was living our dream, well on his way to a statue being built outside VP & his name would've been sung on the terraces for generations to come.

I would like to take a moment to apologise to my body in advance for the copious amounts of alcohol being consumed this week - Leipzig away, get back straight into a free bar at the works Christmas party on Friday, before a late kick-off at Forest away on Saturday. 🍻 UTV!

Went back to the dark side for 2 seconds and see a Sky News headline: Syrian refugees in Manchester say they 'can't wait to get flights back home'. Predictably, you just know what utter bile you're going to see among the replies. Hatred just seems such common-place nowadays. 🥺

Had a fantastic time seeing my Grandad this weekend. Born in July 1923 he's seen an awful lot, and he's still going super strong. Dressed as if he's going to play in the snooker World Championships, like the legend that he is. He's my inspiration & I so cherish the moments that we have together. ❤️

Football is a funny ol' game. Prior to this week we hadn't won in 8 outings & now having won two-from-two in these last few days we sit sixth in the league just two points off the top four & on the periphery of qualifying automatically for the last-16 of the Champions League. Crisis averted. #AVFC

Despite having a bit of the sniffles, the absurdly late kick-off time, being out of form etc, nothing would ever stop me from doing the 5+ hour round trip to Villa Park, but tonight I've chosen to move my season ticket along to someone else. The balance has been swung by the atmosphere. #AVFC (1/4)

Tramlines tickets for the Saturday sorted around an hour ago. A completely pain-free in-and-out process unlike Oasis and Glastonbury.
Decent line-up; although I have already booked to see Franz Ferdinand in Cologne in late February as well. 🙌

Literally, open up 'X' for the first time in a while & see Musk, among other provocateurs, citing that there should be another General Election - less than five months after the last one - for reasons unbeknownst to me. Does this mean we can overturn Brexit too, perhaps, or?

Around one in four people across the globe don't have access to safe drinking water. Meanwhile, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan has just seen this 'piece of art' 👇 - a banana affixed to a wall by duct tape - sell for a staggering $6.2 million. 😮
It's a crazy world.

Typically I've got a lot of time for 'The Rest Is Football' podcast but this take by Lineker & Shearer is wild when it comes to the 3pm blackout - unsure if fans would continue attending Premier League matches. Whether Villa are on TV or not, I can't think of anything worse than not being there.

There was only one punch. Tony Blair rang me and he said 'Are you OK?' and I said 'Yes', and he said 'Well, what happened?' and I said 'I was just carrying out your orders. You told us to connect with the electorate, so I did.

John Prescott was a Labour icon.
A no fucks given Northerner that wasn’t afraid to swing back when swung at, literally and politically.
I had a great deal of respect for him.
Sad loss.

Prizren is one of the most wonderfully quaint places I've been fortunate enough to visit. In fact, I'm always telling people how they should travel around Kosovo. The people are the friendliest and most welcoming I've ever came across & some of the scenery is just breathtaking.

Whilst I am new to this platform and don't have many followers I still wish to share this post given that it's Gambling Harm Awareness Week & it may help someone. I came into recovery four and a half years ago and whilst there's been a couple of blips, getting help was the best thing I ever did.

Sorry, Lib Dems, but we're wrong to go public on this one unless a clear distinction is drawn.
Supporting farmers is one thing; but remaining idle on elitist wealthy tax dodgers is just not on.

Critiqued #AVFC a lot in recent times, especially with respect to the clubs ticket pricing strategy.
However, credit where credit is due, I actually really like the concept of the legacy wall that they've announced today.
They'll definitely be getting my dollar on this one.
