My employers have asked me to make it clear that they want *nothing* to do with any of the dull, tedious comments I make on here, as they are far too cool for that sort of thing, apparently.

I wouldn't mind, but my Amazon purchase was (genuinely) a pair of clippers to cut my hair...what do they think I'm doing to my cat?!?

I think there’s tremendous value in news organisations sending push notifications around breaking news to our devices, but when they do it to hawk their programming, I’m not going to lie, it makes me vexed. And not in a good way, either.

If the Great North run organisers were embarrassed by the mistake on the medals, imagine how they are going to feel when they realise the inexcusable misspelling of the word “we’re” in their statement…

My cat Ted was born a stone’s throw away from the Sp*rs ground, and I always like to think I rescued him from the shadow of that dark, deeply strange place. Nice to see Arsenal following my lead with today’s humanitarian mission for Eze.

Found myself in the home end at Old Trafford today. I haven’t been surrounded by that many Manchester United fans since I last went to Lakeside in Thurrock on a Saturday afternoon.

He's also still got a dedicated page on Arsenal Direct where you can but merchandise with his name on. The club must have been taken by surprise by this announcement. Not sure why, given that he's no longer an Arsenal player, and all this could (and should) have been taken down a few days ago.

It's times like these that I have to wonder why headlines like 'Brigden keen on linking up with Scarlett Johansson at cheap local motel' aren't more of a thing.

This torrent site, which I definitely don’t make regular use of, seems to be delighting in throwing unnecessary shade at me today, for some reason.

I know their Super Sunday coverage hasn’t been great in recent years, and hearing punditry from Jamie Redknapp is nobody’s idea of a good time, but even so, this still feels a little OTT to me.
