@lmtpod.city Good show, like the chat but I’m not sure how many other shows you could do along these lines. BTW Sam a Pokémon cafe in Kenilworth not a shock given that Warwick & Leamington is a major global hub for computer games!

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

@bluemoonpodcast.com Best save - Joe Corrigan against Leeds in the FA Cup 1976-77. I was in the Leeds end and the ball was definitely going in the net when, from nowhere, Big Joe dived across and pawed it out. It won the BBC Match of the Day save of the season - check it out.

@lmtpod.city Big shout out for the defence. Another clean sheet. Only Arsenal has a better GD. Both O’Reilly & Nunez look at home. Thank goodness we have Bernardo - mind you I’m old school. Never played Football Manager and believe Pep knows more than me….

@footballcliches.bsky.social Just listened to September 11th show and the utter bollocks when describing a series of highly paid footballers as “servants”. Volunteer stewards, club officials (lower leagues), ball boys- Yes! Millionaire footballers NO!! Fuck off Adam. You knew this was coming btw.

It was a really crap piece but it does show that work needs to be done to counter the Reform and Tory loons.
Times reports "soaring" number of Britons think climate change is exaggerated
Well, not really - they're still in a heavy minority
Not good news but tbh given relentless tide of shite about climate action served up by RW media I'm pleased it isn't worse

Cool story bro but we saw your first (honest) response which was to threaten to sue anyone who reported on you STEALING A HAT FROM A CHILD and gloating about it. I hope you never get out from under this.
