While we are nowhere near our best, that was no disgrace either #pnefc and Coventry were fortunate with both goals and the penalty decision. On another day that game was a 0-0 and no one would have complained.

A tad unlucky in that first half #pnefc. Competing without threatening a great deal, Coventry a little fortunate with both goals.

I believe there's a "things were better under Lowe" conversation being had elsewhere. Utterly moronic if so.

Interesting use of "unsubstantiated" in the first paragraph, then "uncorroborated" further down the article. Two different things...

A conversation needs having about Lewis Gibson and Ben Whiteman. LG looking disinterested and not the leader in the centre of defence I'd assumed we'd brought him in to be. Also if BW is going to lead & orchestrate our play, the 6/10 performances he's putting in week in week out aren't enough #pnefc

Oh my God. So appalling I need to say these words slowly and with emphasis. Wondering what Japan has to say about this assessment of previous US military engagement.

If a popular right wing newspaper goes with a headline tomorrow along the lines of "Starmer lambasted for not taking flying lessons so he could personally pilot one of the passenger aircraft back from Dubai" I would not be at all surprised.

I'm all for this. Keeps interest going until the end of the season. The idea of the 8th placed club getting a shot at glory and going on to win at Wembley would be quite something #pnefc

Book Group

The last Thursday of every month was Book Group,
when the books would gather together to discuss Brian.

β€œIt’s no fun here any more,” remarked Bleak House, glumly.β€¨β€œWhy doesn’t he read us?” whined the Grapes of Wrath. β€œIt makes me so angry!” β€¨β€œI’m sure he only bought me so he can show me off to his friends,”
complained Ulysses, in a stream of self-consciousness.

β€œI bet he can’t even remember my name, The Idiot,”
muttered a voice from the Russian literature section.β€¨β€œThat’s because he avoids you like The Plague,” said another.β€¨β€œC’est vrai!” came a cry. β€œIt is like I do not exist.”

β€œLet’s not give up on him yet.” It was Brave New World.
After some Persuasion, they agreed to give him one last chance.β€¨β€œBe quiet!” cried Waiting for Godot with Great Expectations.β€¨β€œHere he comes now!”

Brian entered the room, with his phone.
He sat down and watched some videos of baby pandas falling over.
After an hour or so, he started googling cats dressed as celebrities.

On the shelf, the books waited with uncracked spines,
their silence speaking volumes.

This perfectly illustrates my point that the British tabloids are aiming at a US audience. There like 5 people in the UK who think about this. But it is huge among US evangelicals.

British politicians need to ignore UK tabloids, as UK tabloids are talking to an audience in the US for clicks.

I think the only ones who currently give a solitary crap about the "special relationship" are all in that media bubble of Tory/Reform-frotters with you, Chris.

Brad Potts’s return added something to #pnefc this afternoon, but not enough to turn their fortunes around. Millwall could have been several goals up at various points and there was fairly little response from the home side. You can’t see a win in them now. Do we still need to be patient?
