What a great philosophy....
Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Thanks to all the cool dudes that have bought a valentines card in the last 24 hours. Thanks, also, to the cool dudes of the future that will buy one. A further thanks to any and all cool dudes that retweet this.

Don't read the Daily Fail
Staggeringly misleading & irresponsible article by Express online. Neither I nor my site've ever said that. It's a perversion of our "earn under £35k & it's worth checking a benefits calc to see if you're missing out on owt" into dangerous, trite clickbait.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

This is the best thing Ruben Amorim said yesterday.

For too long we have focused on short-termism - prioritising top 4 as opposed to building a system that can genuinely challenge etc.

I'm not sure what to conclude from today's game, other than you can't draw much from one game.
