@MickKilroe @OBG_AFC Might have run into you out there, we had a few beers with some of their old skool before & after.

Let’s have a moment of silence for the Asterisk FC "ultras" who think football was invented in 2008. 🤫
In 2006, while Arsenal was opening a 60,000-seat stadium as Invincibles and Champions League finalists, Citeh115 was a mid-table irrelevance finishing 15th with a 30-year trophy drought still in full swing.
The stats for those of you who only started watching when the oil money checks started clearing:
🏆 Leagues: Arsenal 13 | Citeh115 2
🏆 FA Cups: Arsenal 10 | Citeh115 4
🏆 Total Major Trophies: Arsenal 27 | Citeh115 9
We had more than TRIPLE your entire history before you became a arab plaything and bought your success. #AFC #Invincibles #AsteriskFC #Citeh115

Man City vs Arsenal is Arsenal’s biggest game in 20 years since the Champions League final. For City it isn’t top 30. That’s the difference in the levels of the clubs.

Hey @MayorofLondon
Here's a snapshot stories in today's Standard. You gonna accuse them of disinformation too?

@VinnieSull1van @BygoneBritain @PubHistoryTours An excellent choice. A shout-out also to Sir Francis Drake, privateer & explorer, feared by the Spanish, brought us riches, chips & fags.

Until I explain myself, people are often curious as to why one of my all-time favourite Britons is Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859).
You see, not only did he work on the Thames Tunnel (connecting Wapping and Rotherhithe), which was the first subaqueous tunnel in the world, designed by his father Sir Marc Isambard Brunel, but he is also responsible for (among other things) the Great Western Railway (GWR), developing pioneering steamships like the SS Great Britain, and creating iconic structures such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Royal Albert Bridge.
So efficient were his railways that the entire country had to synchronise their clocks because travel had finally become reliable.
I am leaving out a great deal of his achievements, which I speak about more on my tours @PubHistoryTours. Not only have we built upon his ideas, but we're still using his original bridges and tunnels as I type.
I could talk of what he's done at length, but instead, I'll point out that unlike most people who simply have blue plaques or articles, Isambards legend lives on in real time as we still use his creations to this very day.
He doesn't just exist in a book or website, but in our very footsteps and train journeys.
If you need to understand how important he was to not only Britain but the world, then remember there's evidence of his achievements within your everyday life as it will be for those after us.
As I said, I could say more, but hopefully, this post will prompt you to watch a few documentaries and check a few facts along the way.
Thank you for reading, and take care. ⏳️

@Stephpgold Arsenal did well by me when I had a broken ankle. Give up your normal seat & they give you 2 (you & a helper) at the back of the lower tier.

@InspGadgetBlogs @MaldonGirl1966 Sadly, we have greater accountability if your dog is out of control & attacks someone.

@SaarNil72 Me neither. And the conditions for them are improving all the time, lowering the voting age, voting rights for non UK nationals, voting blocs, the splitting of the 'right'...
