Gripes about performance and tickets to one side, missed a couple of games and on my way to the Lane. Nowhere else I'd rather be.

It would be a very easy win to reduce prices by 25% across the board. They’d still be making a tonne more than at the lane. But it’d get them some much needed credit from the fan base.

Even after a defeat or shite game I'll still usually see people and have a laugh with them. That's a great powerful thing about football is how it brings people together. Put them off and it becomes a solitary, less enjoyable experience.

Club email offering ST holders (and members?) chance to buy guest tickets for Fulham, Brentford. So sales not going well then. Bearing in mind that until now most PL games are effectively sold out. Fans had enough so pick and choose? Will club see price as a factor? Feels like something has changed

Truly awful. Brainless. Second game in a week where we crumble under intensity and pressure. Couldn't even kick the ball down the other end.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.
TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

The ever-excellent new @wsc.co.uk is out, full of good stuff. It includes a piece wot I wrote about Levy at Spurs. Quite ironic really - usually it's about the latest manager he's sacked, this time it's about him getting the Spanish archer. The biter bit.

Powerful stuff by Tottenham. I’m so sorry for the losses experienced by Chris, Micky, and everyone else who had to say goodbye to a loved one who gave up their life.
