If arrests for placards were taking place in Russia and China, our media and political class would be vociferously condemning the clear authoritarianism and draconian repression. Apparently it’s fine when it’s in Britain though.

New ink, a Stoke win, the Bunnymen AND Mick Head on the same bill and I’m off to Stoke in a bit to collect two dozen oatcakes. A top weekend. Oh, and I’m collecting me mam too. She was there yesterday and will be buzzing at that win. Might even buy the third kit.

Liz Truss is a former Prime Minister, a former leader of the Conservative Party, has been a member of the privy council for more than a decade and has 24 hour protection from the Metropolitan Police. Who precisely does she think "the elite" is if it's not her?

I’d marry my Shark if I could. The Liz Hurley of vacuum cleaners. Whereas the Dyson is more Katie Price, it suck’s hard but inevitably it leaves shit all over your chester drawers …

That new Osees/Thee Oh Sees album is mad, wow, like they’ve put Crass, Discharge, GBH, Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror in a blender that then spat it out. It is bonkers, I absolutely love it. Dwyer is a genius.

Easiest competition I’ve ever won. Next.

Any Stoke players drive a slate grey or dull black Mercedes G-Wagon with a foreign number plate? I’ve seen it a few times on the A500 when I’ve been down, always driving like he’s late for training or the birth of his first baby 👀 👀 Not a car person, but they look ace!

Just seen a lovely family of 4 leaving Fat Hippo, all wearing Toon tops. Eating whilst your team is playing, how did they manage that? I feel sick when Stoke are playing, and why weren’t they watching the game? I mean it’s a free country, but 4 replica kits is some statement.

Keith Andrews will be sacked by the Exaltation of the Holy Cross …

Until that regretful incident at Anfield on Friday I’d paid zero attention to the first half dozen rows at any ground, assuming it was disabled fans, their companions and tourists. By Jove they are a shouty lot, at every ground, a fella just giving pelters to the Everton lad.

If Grealish was really serious about resurrecting his career at the Hill Dickinson he’d have turned up for the coach this afternoon sporting a blade one all owa and not that pigtail. The games’ gone. A bit of Oi! and not this tech house shizzle.

I’m sure this city has its problems, it’s the fourth largest city in North America, but my take is Toronto is absolutely fucking wonderful, everyone gets on, everyone seems happy, people are beyond polite, I’ve not been this contented for years. Even got the moobs out on Yonge St

Imagine being this angry? Life must really suck.

Andrew Millington It’s unfathomable

Maybe football needs to step away from this ball playing goalkeeper bullshit. They're in net because they're dreadful footballers, get it long nobhead

Can remember playing a borstal team once, average age of our side was 25, average age of theirs was about 16/17, they were fitter, stronger, faster and harder than us, I think we won, but I subbed myself off, couldn’t compete with them, this is Stoke under Robins, fit and strong.

So I saw Oasis last night. A band I’ve largely ignored and often despised since about 1998. They were absolutely fucking ace, so good I’m going again tonight. Hard to put into words how good they actually were. Those early songs, 50,000 people singing along, unreal.

What odds the Rangers, Utd and West Ham gaffers all getting the sack by Monday? In our WA group I picked Potter and everyone else picked the Utd manager. Can’t see the RFC fella surviving either.

Time to sack more dinner ladies?

Ruffian … #NSFW
