I’ve not used social media for quite a while now, and now when I think about posting something I realise I don’t have much interesting to say, confirming what anyone who knows me has probably thought for many years

I’ve not been on social media for a while, but it’s good to see that the world has calmed down and is in a healthy state whilst I’ve been away, isn’t it?

The news about Diogo Jota is absolutely heartbreaking. One of the best players Wolves have ever had, and clearly a thoroughly nice guy to boot

It appears - to the surprise of nobody - that the independent DDRB aren’t releasing their independent report (that they’ve come to independently) but giving it to the government
