'A man meets an old university friend, but finds that things have changed between them.' This started life as a novel scene, but now lives on as a short story. Reads and retweets would be hugely appreciated! wensumlit.co.uk/2026/03/01/tra…

What the fucking hell is this referee on? Mbuemo virtually catches the ball, VAR tells him to go over to the screen, he does, watches it, then awards the goal. Even Gary Neville is amazed. Of course, it's Man Utd who benefit. Absolute bullshit.

@scfc_ben18 Wouldn't be too bad as back up to Junior. We're going to need to be clever in how we spend money.

@caribbeanpotter Loan him to a team more suited to his level. Maybe the lowest division in the PDSL?

The Milan Smit deal is a curiosity. The manager didn't play him much, didn't seem keen on him, yet we've had to sign him for a decent chunk of cash. What next? Offload back to Holland? Hope he develops, initially as back-up? Make him a starter & cross our fingers it works out?

I'm just too young to remember the last time one of the Old Firm didn't win the Scottish title (Aberdeen in 84-85). I've been following events north of the border for the last few months. I'd love to see Hearts win it tonight. #Hearts

As funny as it would be to see Arsenal fuck up, foul on the keeper is the correct decision there. For once, VAR gets it right.

@damian_lythgoe I'm amazed that Wardley's got as far as he has tbh. His courage, chin and knockout power are all top level, but he has no idea how to pace a fight, defend himself, judge distance...etc. He's a great story, but Dubois was a bridge too far.

When I’ve been asked Wardley or DDD I’ve said every time ..“if he gets hit half the amount he did against Huni his face will be smashed up and he’ll get stopped as DDD hits way too hard”

@BBCSport He was still throwing punches. Stopped at exactly the right time for me.

Several viewers thought that fight went on too long but Fabio Wardley was not giving up easily 👀 What did you think? 🤔

One of the most entertaining fights I've ever seen. Only heavyweight boxing delivers a spectacle like that. Insane. Wardley has proved me wrong time and time again, but Dubois just had too much for someone who's all heart and power but has next to no defence.

@caribbeanpotter @Marksism__ I pray that you're correct. However, I'm pretty sure that we have to sign him unless his club pull out of the deal.

@Marksism__ I bet a pound to a penny that we will send him back next week stating conditions to the purchase have not been triggered.

@Dave50525946 @cal_scfc His price is at its highest this summer too. Sorry to see him go, but now is the time to cash in. Cisse & Ampah already here & further funds from sale to strengthen. Add Milly & Junho sales (it seems), FFP freedom re 2023 splurge & we could have a serious transfer kitty.

I'm spending far too much time thinking and worrying about Stoke. We're in a huge mess of our own making, there's nothing I can do about it...time to concentrate on the cricket. Sod 'em.

I think we're going to win this afternoon. Portsmouth have just secured safety so may take their foot off the gas. We have nothing to play for either, obviously, but might be bored of playing shit so will up our game. Stoke 2 Pompey 0. You heard it here first.

@peteoconn I'm just about to renew mine. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about the prospect, but it's something I can't stop myself doing!
