I wrote a short story about football in a Britain rebuilding after a nuclear war, which has just been published in an alternate history sports short story collection, 'If We'd Just Got That Penalty'. If you think that sounds interesting, give it a read! amzn.eu/d/4Tm7HLH

@TheCheapShowPod "PAPA GOT YA!"

@PeterSRandall Oh the "take his eyes"? Ending?

RIght! It's #Halloween so we've made a playlist of EVERY spooky, seasonal episode we've done over the years - starting with our first (worst)...? (1/10)

@TheCheapShowPod All the Halloween episodes are great, but this is my favourite. For some reason the end does actually scare me (the reason is I'm a massive wimp and shock easily)

Ep 99: Tales from the Crapt The first of MANY cursed items finds itself at CheapShow HQ thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-99-tales-fr… (5/10)

@ColdWarPod I work at the University of Reading where we have the Region 6 War Room on campus. Sadly it's not open for visiting, and I understand is not in a good state internally.

In a patch of  wasteland in suburban Nottingham, a #ColdWar relic lies abandoned. This is Regional Seat of Government 3, a #nuclear #bunker from which a Regional Commissioner would have presided over a society and landscape devastated by nuclear war. visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk/whats-on/nucle…

@80s90sfootball Saw Nigel Adkins at a fete once.

Friday Evening Question Time: Name a footballer you’ve randomly met or bumped into in public I'll start Glenn Murray in M&S Over to you.......

There's something about bunkers I always enjoy. Probably a mix of fear of nuclear war and family holidays to Guernsey as a child.

The England FA receive a large amount of criticism. some harsh, some fair, such is the way of anyone or anything tasked with the running of a sport. Ten years ago the FA released their DNA vision. Gareth Southgate sat at the side of Dan Ashworth as it was unveiled to the public. Five plus years before that they had released the Future Game and the fantastic Youth Module courses. Both designed to help develop young players and impact the way that we coach at all levels. The playing structure was changed, with the introduction of a phased increase, from 5v5 to 7v7 to 9v9 then 11v11. These changes, along with the significant work done by academies have helped provide players with the talent to reach successive Euros finals. To help understand the impact - Mainoo was 9 years old the year the DNA was released. Bellingham 11, Palmer 12, Saka 12, Foden 14 and so on. They developed in an environment impacted by the DNA or the Future Game. Credit where it is due. And bring back the Youth Modules!

@trivia_lad I ended up doing a John Cusack double bill of ConAir and High Fidelity over Easter, and I'd be fine for him to be in more and better films than he has been recently.

@PeterPrickett Data from whoscored:

Does anyone have a set piece goal difference table for the PL? I have a theory.

@Winmau I dunno, an Easter egg big enough to accommodate a dartboard does have my attention.

🐣 Happy Easter from us all at Winmau 🐰

@fussballgeekz Looking very much like an Albanian Gary Lineker here!

Happy Birthday to Tirona and Shqiponjat legend, Arben 'Big Ben' Minga who would've been 65 years old today.

@Sequelisers Not the famously bad Crocodile Dundee 2?! Crikey!

Take a dip in the billabong and grab a few tinnies, as we tackle this 80s fish-out-of-water comedy and it's terrible 2000s sequel. New episode live tonight for Patreon supporters and Tuesday for everyone else!

I've recently devoured this by @PeterPrickett and @insidewrite1957, published by @PitchPublishing. Great stuff, the authors' tactical understanding and breadth of football history shines through. Hopefully a sequel is in the works! #MTCCFF
