Spare some love today for Collingwood. The other Admiral at Trafalgar.
Proud northerner. Hater of flogging. Legit brilliant commander and Nelson's trusted right hand. First into battle on Royal Sovereign. Took charge after Nelson was sniped and saved the British Fleet.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.
As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

#Wimbledon #BBCSport #Tennis Just putting this out there - Andrew Castle is without question the worst sport commentator bar none at the moment - and should be nowhere near the commentary gig for the Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Final. Just saying. Dead air would be a better listening experience.

I opened Friday's PFT Live by addressing something not about football. The feedback was surprisingly positive. I wrote something about that issue tonight. If you're interested, here it is. If you're not, don't read it. Either way, have a good evening.

I can personally recommend! For every one of you out there who toiled through all those barren years - I picked out Frank Pingel but there were plenty of other duff teams in my 51
year journey (and I did once see Frank score) - all worth it - every raised hope - every disappointment for last Sunday.

I spent many formative hours in the Bird and Bush in Elsdon in my youth (Exhibition 26p a pint!) and was down there for my Uncle Harry’s funeral recently. Love it!! #HWTL #NUFC
