it's very similar to to lapsed catholicism really. as hard as you may try, you're kind of stuck with them...

initially elsewhere…

game #31 (1102) / 22.03.2026… birmingham city 2 sheffield united 1 (wsl2)… blues coming from behind to win...

@billyredhead1 @fireandskill i'm looking forward to seeing spurs down at st. andrew's next season... ;)

@fireandskill Same here - Arsenal lost and so did Spurs! You win.

Always look for the positives 😉

@grittyboy11 and try and get most of it done ahead of pre-season if that's possible...

@edjbell I’m all out of answers myself. I know that it’s gone incredibly stale with the set-up, system and players, but as you say the rules that are hindering progression are in place to protect the select few. The squad needs a refresh and the Howe favourites have to go for starters!!

this weekend in 1992... a 1-1 draw at grimsby left us lying in 19th position in division two, three points above the relegation zone... perspective... #nufc

@georgo1892 you certainly wouldn't be able to better their work rate...

@edjbell We could use a Kilcline, Peacock and a Kelly. Quinny would score more as well.

@grittyboy11 i get it, plus i didn't have to sit through it... we're clearly underperforming this season, but i'm not sure what we do differently..? the premier league isn't designed to allow us to compete over the long term and there's not really much we can do about it...

@edjbell I’d love to agree with you on that, but there has been too much of these false dawn, stop start, stuttering bits of form. So much is wrong from top to bottom and I for one have had enough. Can’t speak for all, but I’m out of fight to stay positive this season, it’s been draining!

it's been a while since i posted one of these... ;)

@grittyboy11 i think the room needs to take a deep breath...

@edjbell Read the room mate 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

although the guy sat behind me who insisted on calling christoph klarer a cnut for indulging in a little bit of friendly shirt pulling... unnecessary... ;)

game #30 (1101) / 21.03.2026… derby county 1 birmingham city 0 (eflc)… grim… one of those afternoons where sitting quietly in the home end required absolutely zero effort whatsoever…

There's no place like home... 🏡 ... And we're back again on Sunday! 🎟️👇 book.newcastleunited.com/en-GB/categori…

poor from blues, but he took his goal well...

game #29 (1100) / 14.03.2026… birmingham city 1 sheffield united 1 (eflc)… patrick bloody bamford… ;)

Edgbaston pictured in 1938 when it was mainly surrounded by open land. It hosted four Tests between 1902 and 1929 but had to wait until 1957 before it became a regular fixture on the international calendar

@kingstonbob01 he celebrated pretty much directly in front of me after the second one. fair play to him though, being ex-villa he was taking a lot of stick, so he was well within his rights to give some back... i just wish that we'd recalled him in january... :)

@edjbell Must admit Ed when I saw the Boro highlights I tried to see if you were flicking the Vs at Targett when he scored and celebrated in front of you. 😆

game #28 (1099) / 11.03.2026… birmingham city 1 queens park rangers 0 (eflc)… isaac hayden making a second half cameo for the visitors…

another week, more programmes... i can't resist on european nights, they're still special...

qpr looking marginally less like celtic than yeovil did at carlisle, but still the better kit... ;)
