Lapsed influencer. Geordie (*VERY*). Arty. Amicable. Nice. Previously did football stuff for World Soccer, Guardian, Times, NY Times, adidas, Nike, Puma, BBC and more. You must think me very naive Taken as true I only see what I want to see.

Coin used as Leeds bus fare was 2,000‑year‑old currency The coin was handed down to Peter Edwards from his grandfather in the 1950s.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Arsenal's accounts for 2024-25 were published last week and I was fascinated to see that gate receipts now account for just 22.3% of turnover. The table below shows how reliant the club has been on gate receipts since WW1.

And I know you’ll need a bit of cheer in Glasgae this week. Heartbreaking scenes last night. I know that corner well and the little charity shop has had a hammering from this pilgrim over the years.

Forgot to mention, went to see this at Sunderland Empire, as part of a brief tour following a West End stint. Love a bit of Ayckbourn and really enjoyed this. National treasure Dame Sheridan perfect for the lead and really inhabited the role. Think it’s on in Glasgow this week; heartily recommended.

I like this cartoon so much we paid the New Yorker the fee it requested to include it in my book.

We’ve not even had the vote 100 years. Let’s not let thing backslide.

Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.

Hold. If we offer any suggestion of a sale, it’ll be Real, Bayern or Barca buying, not Freiburg. Tells a tale. Give him time.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?"

Ah, limited pants. You might want to look into that…

Once again, only criticism is five years without investing in training ground. But you knew that already. Repeatedly.

No issue. Tried to get ahead, almost put game to bed, but no freebies against good sides, and this lot will be queuing up to tear Real a new one. Terminal blows in the second half. Marmoush took his goal very well. Perhaps should have went out v Bournemouth, but we did request a team that tries, no?

This is the best use of social media I’ve seen. Rimmer quotes would work an almost infinite number of quotes we’ve seen over the last decade.

This is the best use of social media I’ve seen. I could use this for an almost infinite set of circumstances. Bravo.

#Wham! fans will be excited to hear that a new documentary, 'Wham! 10 Days In China', is coming soon. Mike Christie's film pieces together “the untold story” using newly restored footage and interviews. More > bit.ly/3OWlNe7
