⚽️ Have not seen it yet, but if it takes 4 minutes to decide onside or off, then it’s a goal. Also no VAR check on a potential offside on the line.

Burnley are not getting the rub of the green with VAR. Why? Embarrassing.

Wrapping up one of the most miserable and depressing weeks of my entire career with a relaxing day trip out to see a bus stop in Hounslow.

I couldn’t get on the coach, so train from Preston.

Have been looking forward to seeing this stadium since it opened.

Sunak to scrap part of HS2 in Tory conference speech by BBC News
Read linked post
πŸ—žοΈπŸšAesthetics of cancelling a trainline to Manchester, in a former train station in Manchester are awful. Better communications advice needed!

Announcing to party is weak, and runs scared of parliamentary scrutiny.

Michael Beale did his reputation no harm, making a poor team unplayable last season. On the other hand, who would want to work in an environment where you are only ever 3 games away from the chop?
