Can’t help thinking that reopening and operating Doncaster airport will a financial disaster for the Mayor and councils involved. I live in Sheffield, don’t fly a great deal but when I do East Midlands and Manchester are actually easier to get to.

Not sure what world Hunt and his ilk are living in. We haven’t stopped talking about Brexit for 11+ years. Europe is all we have talked about since 1973. It’s a national conversation piece just like the weather and the decline of Man Utd.

I wonder what target for this season Arise will set for the new Manager and how long they will give him to deliver. I’d also be interested to hear what Wilson wants in terms of ‘an identity’ ? #swfc

Well that shows I know absolutely nothing about anything. Are Monk or Pulis available ? Perhaps Carbone will make another application ! #swfc

"Legal migrant numbers are at a historic low and small boat crossings have halved, yet that didn’t stop anger at asylum seekers spilling on to the streets. "There is no level of migration low enough to satisfy some people. There is, however, a level of migration low enough to make us all poorer."

Storch Jnr saying #swfc is a long term project where patient progress is called for, doesn’t sound like someone getting ready to ditch the coach to me.

Ranvir Singh this morning: "9 million people in the UK, I find it obscene, in 2026 are on the verge of or already using foodbanks" Meanwhile the richest 50 families have more wealth than half the population. The levels of inequality in this country are staggering.

I’m guessing if the reports are true then the UK media will be profuse with their apologies to Megan Markle. I just won’t be holding my breath.

Good couple of days in London then get home to find that brown envelope from HM Customs and Revenue on the doormat 😬😬 After 50 yrs in PAYE they finally tell me that they owe me money !! No idea how that works but who’s complaining ? Happy days 🙂🙂🎉🎉🍺🍺🍺

Breakfast in the Dusty Knuckle on Harringey Green Lanes this morning with our Elly. Very nice, would load too much cholesterol if I lived here !!!

I see the Club has had to make a Statement about racist abuse directed towards a player and his family. We really do have some absolute scumbags in our fanbase. I hope the Club find them and ban them for life

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

Sky talking up the Premiership title race. Saying Arsenal won’t want City getting away from them. Don’t think there will be any danger of that when the points deduction gets announced. Arsenal will win the title the day that deduction is announced

Food on the go today. Snacking on chestnuts on the mid morning stroll with the dog through Eccleshall Woods. Bumper harvest this year it seems,never seen so many. Just need an open fire tonight.

This is pathetic. Ukraine tested Starlink speed restrictions in Europe and had no issues - the restrictions only exist in Ukraine. The Trump administration is actively helping Russia kill Ukrainians - and risking the lives of US and NATO advisors in Ukraine.

Well done to the Referee yesterday, thought she was very good. Let the game flow and waved away contact where many would have reached for the whistle. Not seen the penalty call replayed but at the time thought she might have made the right decision.

Great result and great performance. Probably a load of very disappointed fans on X tonight. Best game in a Wednesday shirt from Heskey today and Gray is a class player already, and only 18. #swfc

Unbelievable!! Saturday Morning Kitchen now showing us how to open a packet of crisps and then ….. sprinkle cheese over them. What a revelation !! How have I reached 70 and not learnt this skill ?

It is worth reminding ourselves that until last year that racist Birmingham politician featured in the ITV expose on Reform had been a Tory Cllr for 10 years before defecting.
