If Heaton Stannington win the FA Cup they'll get a spot in Europa. And frankly any English side can win Europa, so let's aim for the Champions League in two seasons time. Let's bring PSG to Grounsell Park
Michael Bell@mbellcoop.bsky.social · 4h agoI've done the numbers again and I was right the second time. 467 teams have been eliminated, and Heaton Stannington marches on.
Is he aware that none of the people he mentioned are in place now?
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 13h agoEvery time I think Jenrick could not make my skin crawl even more, he somehow manages to creep under that limbo bar of revulsion.
I wonder if Political Editor of the BBC is a bit like Home Secretary in that it's a position that just turns you into the worst possible version of yourself
Neil Mackay@neilmackay.bsky.social · 18h agoWho would ever have thought that the BBC’s political editor would put out a single source claim that was both false and also great propaganda for Reform…

🏆FULL TIME🏆 For the first time in 77 years, the Stan are heading to the Emirates FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round thanks to Sado Djalo’s first half header.

Reet, am in from work now, was at the match. Main simplified take is Bournemouth were the better side in the first half, but the subs completely changed the game for us, but the ref was so shit and Bournemouth knew how to play him. Every time we went forward they fell over and got something
While, of course, it's still too early to call the Premier League title race this far out, I think we can all agree that it's Hull's to lose
do the good guys generally show up in balaclavas in your experience

#NUFC Now I've calmed down there are some positives. Both of their goals were lucky. When was the last time we got a draw from 2 down? MFP looked sharp. Ref was completely on their side.
Brilliant shot from our very own archer 🏹 Harvey "Robin Hood" Barnes
NBC Sports Soccer@nbcsportsoccer.bsky.social · 14h agoPERFECT placement by Harvey Barnes on this absolute stunner! 🤩
Djalo's headers proving lethal in the box this season
Heaton Stannington FC@heatonstan.bsky.social · 14h ago40’ GOALLLLLL!!!!!!! Djalo nods home from close range! 1-0
Not going to share the video, because it is actually horrific, but the footage of Reform members assaulting a young protestor whilst Farage smiles and jokes is probably one of the most disgusting things I've seen in politics and speaks to the fundamental weakness in Reform voters' character.
Watching NewsNight and just spotted this, what's this about, the backdrop to Farage's speech saying Boring Boring Boring?
I'm assuming they fixed this but the fact that a day later I have no idea cos they just don't appear in my life at all anyway is a pretty good feeling
Pop Base@popbase.tv · 3d agoChatGPT, Claude & Grok are currently down, according to users.
I did think this, but it’s not about voters, it’s about how the party gets its money, and that matters far more. Who’s going to donate now they’ve been shown to be such unserious, pompous fools? Even if they escape criminal action, they still won’t be able to raise proper money ever again

Electoral Commission won't even go after the guy who called them a bunch of useless cunts on camera. What even is the point
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2d agoThe Electoral Commission appears to be straightforwardly wrong about its role and responsibilities in law as the regulator when it says publicly "Information about any potential attempt to evade the controls on donations is for the police to consider". It is the core job of the Electoral Commission
Got three days into September before I heard a customer yesterday say "Well, we didn't have much of a summer". I was wondering how long it would take
If it makes Enzo Fernandez sad, then it’s worth every penny
Gutted I can't join in the London pub discourse. I absolutely love pubs and pub discourse, but I think I've only been in two pubs in London and I think one of them got knocked down for HS2
The funniest one was when Piers Corbyn got bought off by people posing as Big Pharma wanting him to only mention the vaccines of their competitors in his anti-vax rants, and he lapped it up, and then they distracted him and literally switched the bag of money for monopoly money
Will Jennings📉🗳️@drjennings.bsky.social · 2d agoWhenever there is an undercover sting in politics I'm always astonished what people will say to someone they have never met - usually because they think there is money on (or under) the table.
Just keep muttering to myself "he was still trying to solicit another donation during the by election he held to avoid the investigation."
Every journalist who breathlessly covered Starmer getting free clothes, or using a donor's flat, etc, should be dragged onto NewsNight tonight to give an account of themselves
