Good luck @EBTheDeres home to @Bridon1935 in the @SCEFLeague Cup tonight. Last time we met was at Dulwich Hamlet in the London Senior Trophy final in 2019, which we won 4-1 thanks to a Dan Teeley masterclass in goal #COYD

The poppy is a quiet symbol of remembrance. It is NOT a pay & display item to prove youβre more patriotic than others, a photo opportunity or a competition. Wear it quietly, or not all but please do donate, thatβs the important part, not this performative, opportunistic wankery.

Itβs Presidential Election Day in the United States! Here is a predawn line on Myrtle Street in Boston.
Make sure to get out and vote today!
Your annual reminder that if you're wearing your poppy and don't give a fuck who it offends, you're wearing it for the wrong reason. I'm wearing mine for my dad, who came home from Italy wounded but safe, and for those of his comrades who weren't so lucky.
RIP the amazing Steve Ellis, the voice of the Love Affair. The peerless blog "Popular" discussed their 1968 number 1 "Everlasting Love" and people associated with the band joined in, including Steve himself in April 2009. A great read. popular-number1s.com/2006/07β¦

When russia bombs Ukrainian homes with people inside, Jackson sleeps, but when Ukraine responds by bombing russia's war economy, he gets hysterical.
Jackson's moral compass has always pointed to Putin's asshole.

As Benito Mussolini drives in an open car through Bologna, Italy, a 15-year-old boy, Anteo Zamboni, fires shots at the Italian Premier.
He misses, and an angry mob lynches him on the spot.
This is the third major assassination attempt against Mussolini in just six months.
Il Duce goes on to open the Littoriale complex in Bologna.
Good luck @EBTheDeres away to @beckenhamtownfc today. We've met 38 times and Deres lead 20 wins to 11 and 84-61 on aggregate. On our last visit @ErnieChees57818 snatched a point with a late equaliser. #COYD
