life long Everton fan. Best moments 1985, 1986 and 87 and desperately want these times back.



Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

Our Future. Last night I had a drink on my own overlooking the Thames and thought to myself what would our country look like in 100 years - what do you think?

Just when you think these incompetent fools really couldn’t get more ridiculous- they prove you wrong. Have you ever heard of the like 🤷🏼♀️

Have watched this clip about 100 times now, and it’s already the stuff of Arsenal legend.. but that Gyokeres header isn’t getting enough credit. Absolutely threw himself into it, and created the chance for Dowman to score. That’s why I love Gyokeres - he gives 💯 every game.

@henrywinter English teams lose in the CL and suddenly a winter break is back in play. Man City and Chelsea have an aggregate squad value just short of £3bn and are alleged to have broken rules for which they have not yet been punished. Damned right there are vested interests at play.





Lewis Hall vs Barcelona Kept Lamine quiet all game 💎

It’s 2026 and this appears to be acceptable to some. It shouldn’t be acceptable to anyone and certainly not, to begin with, in Britain!

Stuff and nonsense! I will wave both flags 🇬🇧🏴 at every given opportunity!

Strange. I could have sworn that a mysoginistic, repressive, theocratic Islamist regime that’d been waging a regional war for years and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens was a teeny weeny bit rogue?

The biggest time-wasters in football now are not the players but some of the officials implementing VAR. Turf Moor confirmed that. Almost three minutes to decide that Anthony was offside. Right decision but a nonsense it took so long to establish. Sort out semi-automated. Almost five minutes to decide that Barnes had handled. Not even sure it was the right decision anyway. The unacceptable, unconscionable amount of time taken damages the game and alienates the fans, without whom there is no game. PGMO has to improve. It claims it is speeding up decision-making and then delivers this desecration of a great football game between Burnley and Brentford with delays. PGMO use of the technology has to be better. And quicker. VAR is here to stay - IFAB underlined that in Cardiff on Saturday - so let’s make it work for the game of football not against. Improve standard of officiating - on-field and at Stockley Park. Invest even more in developing good officials. Speed up the process - and if that means a time limit on decisions then do it. Don’t chase perfection; just prevent injustice. PGMO has forgotten Clear and Obvious only. PGMO has forgotten the game is about passionate match-goers not pedantic, slow-moving law-enforcers. #BURBRE

So the manager doesn’t trust George or Armstrong in front of Mykolenko then ?

Another victory for our Economically Illiterate Chancellor @RachelReevesMP as one of Britain's most traditional breweries - which produces Doom Bar - is forced to close. Her mission to strip away many of the great and traditional things about our country goes on unabated 👎🧐 ..

I for one am sick to death of this ‘sensitivity’ just follow the law! An utter disgrace, we are in Britain let’s remember that!

🚨"This is properly INSANE! There is no other word... It's insane!" Illegal migrants would get a free house and paid a wage even if they don't work, under immigration plans by the Green Party. @JuliaHB1

Genocide is indeed a very serious matter @ZackPolanski but there isn't - and hasn't been - a genocide in Gaza so why do you insist on wittering on about something that hasn't happened?

Southall will be on any list I ever do on goal keepers! The rest are lucky we aren’t judging them on their whole career as he’d be top!!
