@Scotty_Murray @smd_scott Great work Scotty, while you’re at it you couldn’t ask him where he gets his trackie bottoms from could you? I’m 6’6” and the ones in the shop too short for me! 🤦🏻😂

Evening Claire hope your well @smd_scott contacted me last night regarding this and am going to get one done and signed by the big man himself along with the 3 points it’s been a good weekend ❤️

@JNorthcroft Rumours he’s heading to Bristol City, as a new sporting director. Any sense what he might bring to that?

The abrupt departure of James Ellis means only Mikel Arteta remains from the brains trust that rebuilt Arsenal. In 16 months a sporting director, his deputy, the exec vice-chair, academy director - and now technical director have gone. A look inside what's going on 🧵

@SophiaCai99 In other news, Bully here is all ready to go and iron out the finer details of that China shop business …

NEW: Vice President JD Vance is on standby, prepared to jump into sensitive negotiations with Iran if there is a direct meeting with Iranian officials. politico.com/news/2026/04/0…

@RobinNestBCFC @TheExiledRobin I get that and agree, but equally the whole ‘it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay’ argument misses that point entirely, what if the people willing to pay, or spend, aren’t the sort of ppl you want anywhere near our club?

@iansabbath @TheExiledRobin Personally didnt like the human rights stuff that was reported - and tweeted about it at the time I'm just using that as a pure example of the monetary side, not my personal view

For all the complaints, all those who want new ownership - I get it. We could spend more / better. But for those that choose to horribly abuse the guy who’s sunk £200m +, build what’s built, created hundreds of jobs - maybe some perspective needed? bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@RobinNestBCFC @TheExiledRobin And you think that would’ve been a good thing?

@iansabbath @TheExiledRobin Yes - one would assume if talks were as advanced as they were a monetary offer would've been accepted

@RobinNestBCFC @TheExiledRobin That Saudi guy?

@TheExiledRobin Ultimately of course a price is set by what people are willing to pay - and we did find someone seemingly willing to pay it last year

@TheExiledRobin 100% this … just spending more, or selling to someone in the hope they might, can’t be the answer. Antagonising the guy who’s keeping us afloat doesn’t seem massively sensible either!

@KurtSchlichter No, you changed everything, when the guy you elected turned his back on the alliances that sustained everything and led you down a whole different road. Don’t ridicule, threaten and insult and then cry when those same allies question if they want to follow every deranged word.

The Europeans are not dealing with “a man.” They are dealing with the United States of America. The United States needed the most innocuous kind of cooperation from them. They denied the United States that cooperation. The implied argument is that their obligations within our alliance depend on whether they like the guy we chose as our president. “Sure, we’re allies…if we approve of who you elected.” Nope. We are not going to forget, and we’re not going to forgive. I’m indifferent to their excuses or their rationalizations. The United States of America needed their help and not very much help. They turned us down. That changes everything. And they aren’t going to like how it changes everything.

@AriFleischer …another grifter

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@BBCSport Yawn … someone’s trying to sell boxing tickets again…

The verbal sparring between Terri Harper and Caroline Dubois continues as we get closer to their unified lightweight world title fight.

@TheExiledRobin A good day, one of the best grounds to go to, and always so much more fun to cheer rather than moan.

Atmosphere was superb and certainly had a little more edge to it - some negative chants early but they got lost in the enjoyment & tension of the game. Definitely felt to me there was a feeling around of whoever the manager is and whoever the owner is, this is OUR club ❤️👊

Good, very fun away day 🙏 City looked re-energised, thought they were very good for the first 65 or so mins, until we tired and let them come at us a bit. Suddenly looked a bit disorganised & vulnerable, but still dangerous on the break but God, we need some striker investment

@montie Getting more wealthy by the day, the grift keeps giving …

He can't leave his house without security. Despite credible death threats and being physically attacked on multiple occasions by morally fake, love-not-hate lefties he carries on. Already wealthy, famous and successful he could be enjoying his retirement now. He carries on because he hates what the Tories and Labour have done to our country and he is building a movement and party to reverse it. Happy birthday @Nigel_Farage! May God keep you safe 🙏

@davidaxelrod @POTUS @SpeakerJohnson Quick, someone tell the 'gloves off', 'no holds barred', Department of War...

The @POTUS has REPEATEDLY referred to this as a war, @SpeakerJohnson. Who are you kidding?

@RobinNestBCFC It seems I'm in the minority. I can't say it's the right move bringing him in, but given they have, for the reasons stated, I thought he came across as open, honest, positive, sensible & so a good fit for the role. Of course he's not here for the long term, everyone knew that.

How do we all feel after that press conference then?

@TheExiledRobin I don't get the negativity, as you say honest, no-one who knows anything would contradict anything he said. Struck me as decent, clear -eyed and willing/able to offer just what's been asked of him.

Well! Roy was honest that’s for sure. Doesn’t know much about how the club’s been doing, the Championship or any of our players. Will caveat that by saying neither would some hot young coach from Europe… Initially looked like he didn’t know why he’s here - but did warm up

@BS3Rob Unfair I think, we all knew the timescale of the appointment, surely it’s good not to have any conflict or doubt around that. Coming over well I think, a decent bloke with a wealth of knowledge. If you take on board the stated reasons for him coming, everything here makes sense.

What appealed to you most about the job? It will be over in 5 weeks. An actual Bristol City press conference.

@ChrisJMN1 @afneil It pays the bills, for them and those for whom they are the ever faithful and consistent mouthpiece

@afneil It’s incredible how the right wing want to demolish the establishment. The BBC, National Trust, Monarchy, the Judiciary, All that will be left is GB News and Fish and Chips shops.

What? All of BBC Radio? Including R1 and R2, which could easily be provided by the market. And R5 already is. So we’re down to R3/4. At most.

@nicolelampert @ablasalma 'how journalism works'; hit pieces on anyone to the left of the proprietor, secures the Mail's cash, otherwise, look elsewhere for work.

@ablasalma I don’t know what you think your point is. You clearly don’t understand how journalism works.

Daily Mail journalists aren’t going after your family (as you are aware, there is more we could write if we were). I’m a freelance journalist who spoke to your family members who are frightened by the Jew hate in your party. They are frightened by what you have given the green light to. While you once fought Jew hatred, now you indulge it because, as we both see, it is popular. Other political groups have discovered this in the past. Shame on you @ZackPolanski Shame on you.
