Patriots - hear me out. My dad was watching one of the late kickoffs in the 80s and there was a team in red, white and blue playing a team in green, white and gold. So he picked the team that wasn’t the Jets. I’ve been to both of their Wembley games with him, and i’ve been to Gillette three times (he’s been a few times more). We’re actually going over again in October, was hoping to take in their game @ Miami in September but I’d be in big trouble if I didn’t go to a wedding where the missus is a bridesmaid

Blackburn United vs Wishaw on Saturday in the summer sun. Entry by donation, any discrepancy between what I gave and the “going rate” was made up for by cleaning out the pie hut. Macaroni pie was immense. Even got a red card in a pre-season friendly for my money! Got sunburn down my right side driving home and am still sporting a very lop-sided T-shirt tan as a result

Fiancée had a private consultation today and has been told at the age of 26 (for the first time by a clinical psychologist) that she matches the criteria for being autistic. Watching her struggle with her mental health for the last seven years, and knowing she’s had to endure crises of mental health and identity since she was twelve, means that this is a massive step forward and a real relief because it explains so much more than is imaginable. It’s just nice that everything is going “okay” for the first time in a long time

I see that Threave vs Whitehill Welfare only had one lino appointed at the weekend there - imagine that that is one more than will be supplied for their league games but a bizarre moment nevertheless?
