@ObsoleteLorelle @hareandhounds Mexican heavy-psych, post-punk with elements of warped sonics, dark wave & deconstructed shoegaze. Big layers of sound. Gracias otra vez! Me encantó muchísimo!

@SarahCoombesWB @EFL @Albion_IST Thanks for taking the time to formulate this response. Let’s see what happens.

Few things have united my constituents like the anger felt over the West Bromwich Albion points deduction. I’ve written to the @EFL on behalf of fans to seek answers. #WBA

SETTLED IT ON THE PITCH. 💙🤍

@charlieclaytn16 Obviously depends on the form of the teams relegated from Prem, but we definitely look like a top 8 team. Onwards & upwards!

Over a full season with Mozza and some backing, where do we finish? If the playoffs is 8 teams I’d like to think we’d atleast be involved in them #wba

Dear @shilensays it’s a no-brainer really. James Morrison to be confirmed Baggies manager for next season in the championship please. Not just a club legend & @wba custodian, but has proved himself to be tactically astute & a super motivator too. #boingboing

You literally couldn’t make it up that Albion have been retrospectively judged to have breached financial rules due to in-kind donations of facilities & resources to charity in the same season #WBA were named Community Club of the Year by the EFL.

@baskery @hareandhounds top notch entertainment from the queens of Banjopunk & bluesgrass. Story-telling, Neil Young & The Boss covers too.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️

Football does not have a revenue earning problem, it has a cost control problem. Revenues in the Premier League have ⬆️by 3,233% since it started in 1992 but wage costs are up 4,429% and transfer purchases 4,138%. If you are old enough, find your pay packet from 1992 and increase it by 4,429%. I was on £23,500 then, that would be £996,000 today, teacher's salaries are not quite that high.

Breaking: Your phone is sending data to Google every 4.5 minutes. Screen off. Phone untouched. Trinity College Dublin confirmed it in a peer reviewed study. Here are 12 settings to cut it off:

1/We live in a medical culture that offers statins to 40 million Americans and calls it prevention. Meanwhile, a seed cultivated for 10,000 years — with hundreds of peer-reviewed studies behind it — sits in the bulk section of your grocery store for $2/lb. Its name means "most useful." The ancients weren't wrong. 🧵👇

Deeply ingrained culturally in Japanese society. Cleanliness = respect for shared space. A lesson to learn there.

#wba such sad news. A great unsung Albion icon. RIP Tony. wba.co.uk/news/albion-mo…
