I think this may have been a different warm-up gig tonight actually. Might have been a specific Radio 2 in concert gig (bit like they did with Blur last year). Troxy is tomorrow you are right. I could have got tix via mailing list pre-sale a week ago – but I am away :(

The Cure, live at the Troxy, BBC Radio 2... RIGHT NOW (on Sounds App and on catch-up of course later). Absolutely brilliant.:bowdown:

An un-brainwashed brain... a very very rare thing over there. People like this bright chap probably represent no more than 2% of the population depressingly. (that is a total 'finger-in-air' guess of course – based on the 100 odd Russian public interviews I've seen).

☝️100% accurate description. One of the best ever away days. Absolutely loved it. After years of trying, finally, it fell on a 3pm Saturday that I could make. First visit.. never knew they had a proper/decent Tube/Metro system up there (excuse ignorance). The Geordies are refreshingly great...

Thank you for this cracking tip. Landed at 9am ish. Done breakfast by 10:15 at Oliver's in the covered market (excellent). Knocking on the door of the Newcastle Arms pretty much after opening (x2 BHA in there already :). Spent 3-4 very happy hours in the Newcastle Arms pre-match, watching it...

Even thicko Trump can hopefully grasp this simple choice... Zelensky spoke to Trump and said: "There are two choices. Or Ukraine will have nuclear weapons, or we should have some kind of alliance, and apart from NATO we do not know any functioning alliances today. We want to choose NATO, not...

100%. Can you imagine someone telling Churchill, shortly after the balance tipped in our favour after the Battle of Britain, that he wasn't allowed to go after German targets and the source of the attacks!

A relief someone has a plan. Some days it doesn't feel that way. Zelensky is just immense. Oh to fast forward to the US elections being over, Trump thrashed (one can only pray) and a serious ramping-up of the collective western response thereafter.🙏

or 5000 will defect/desert hopefully.

This should be the top news item on all mediums 24/7 across the west. At any point in our lifetimes, a coalition of enemies collaborating and participating in an invasion of a European democratic country would be the most critical geopolitical crisis of the moment (since 1945 one could argue)...

Lots of reports of this, not just CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/14/europe/north-korea-russia-ukraine-military-zelensky-intl/index.html Some (unverified) stats (Twitter/X) claim 10,000 NK troops now in Ukraine. WTAF. Along with Iranian weapons/drones, China training troops on the borders...

Hope it's Adidas. Reckon it'll be a new deal with Nike. Feel like all our Nike kits have been 'nearly' kits – meaning nearly a nice kit, bar a few tasteless design decisions (or a stupid collar) or varying (low) quality. Or the dreaded tweaked template. Would also be super happy with New...

Likewise, there's been four of us at least always sat in the same seats in W1A since the Amex opened. Love the view, the access, weather protection, the main large concourse/facilities, friends/family in the same stand. The away fans have always been just far enough away from us to be a) amusing...

Paid for £125 for x1 Centre Court Wimbledon, Men's Q'final day reserved seat. Took a punt as I hoped to see Federer at his peak and in the quarters – and before he retired. That plan worked out as I saw a flawless performance by the King, on his way to his final Wimbledon title (without dropping...

Exactly the same here. Dolphin trumps a Seagull any day really... I'm not aware of any other 'marine-based mammal' club nicknames or mascots in the Football League? (which makes it more unique – and great that dolphins have reappeared again off our shores in recent years). Also like the fact...

What really stands out is how many of these goals were the result of taking a really quick (unexpected) strike, rather than the temptation in the latter part of the season to faff about, take 2-3 more extra touches and try and walk it in. That's maybe a confidence thing, but it's really...

Yes absolutely. Need to erase the Bournemouth performance from my memory from last week... but I've not got great expectations put it that way. I wonder if revenge for the 6-1 will be in the player's minds?

What no Raymond Blanc? WTF.

Thought I'd be over it too. But 7 years on, it still deflates and irritates me that me we didn't clinch the title with three golden chances to do so. I hardly missed a match, home or away in that glorious promotion season – and was at Norwich, Bristol at home and Villa away (Stockdale / Grealish...

I think we should treat European qualification like it's Glastonbury – and have a fallow year... one year on, one year off, to let fans recover financially and repair damaged and affected relationships.
