Among all the things to laugh at, I’m especially enjoying the conflation of low Earth orbit delivery trucks with space exploration

Among the very best live bands I’ve ever seen, that incarnation of the Scream. Slightly trepidatious about whether the current line up can pull it off, but I’m off to see the XTRMNTR show in a couple of weeks. Hope they deliver and do Mani proud

After missing a bunch of games while on the other side of the planet, I will be back on Saturday

It’s a classic Venn diagram of the football-media complex’s love of faux outrage and the knowledge that Liverpool-related content will drive social media engagement. Wasn’t wild about the booing while he was still playing for us, but he deserves whatever he gets now he’s playing for that lot

I wonder if we’re in a transitional phase where the end point is a kind of 442 with Wirtz either in a tucked in John Barnes wide role or as the tip pf a diamond. And the current mess is the result of not being the old set up or the new set up

I think it’s a consequence of too much of the supposedly serious media being posh. The wealthy are always more fash-curious than the rest of us, presumably because they think they’ll be OK no matter what

He’s doing a pub crawl today, presumably? In which case, perfectly normal, nothing to see

Who on Earth actually thinks this though? Of course we’re catchable, there are 33 bloody games left!
