Manager of the phenomenal @rebeccadownesUK. QPR still a major preoccupation. Opinions my own. MOVED TO BLUESKY SO NO LONGER POSTING HERE.

I was all for looking towards Sept with some optimism. But tossing off everything until then is digging a hole we might not get out of.

This is an utter disgrace of a start and completely unsurprising for those of us that were paying attention.

Fcking disgusting.

No more talk of projects and game models.

Sort the fcking basics out that are required to compete at this level. Spine of a team. Leadership. Tackling. Park your fcking gk routine.

And get this team fit. The state of them is an embarrassment.

@Skorpio1 As a result of the loss of baggage I ended up representing the United Kingdom at a meeting at the World Trade Organisation (the GATT in those days) wearing tracksuit trousers and trainers, albeit with a shirt and tie.

I believe the story of the Spellers from East Anglia is very similar 😊

[Train Songs Central @trainsongsbook]

"My family, when you go through the Difford family tree, lived in Somerset. Some of the men became workers building the train line to London, and when the line was built they hopped on a train, went to London, and never came back."

Happy birthday Chris Difford who turns 70 today

[Colin Speller @ColinSpeller]

Looks like @AvantiWestCoast are on fine form this morning. Only two scheduled trains to London from Birmingham New Street between 0800 and 1000 and one of those has been cancelled!!

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Why might there be a delay in the details of a police investigation being made public?

Well, many reasons. None of which relate to a conspiracy or a “cover-up”.

Let’s take a quick look🧵👇

A magnificent picture of my favourite steam engine all fired up and ready to go to work in the county of my birth earlier today. Not only an amazing piece of engineering, the pristine condition in which it is maintained is a credit to everyone associated with its operation.

[Clan Line @ClanLine28]

All set and good to go for tomorrow's trip with British Pullman to Dover!

As always, please respect the railway environment if you're out to see us and please don't trespass on the railway.

@dave_barton76 @davidmcintyre76 I really hope not. If the overall strategy is to refine rough diamonds into saleable assets then we are going to have lots of periods like this every time new rough diamonds arrive. And if they can’t be polished, then the blame sits with those who acquired them.

[Rebecca Downes @RebeccaDownesUK]

One of our favourite songs to perform live. Remember when the wonderful Paul Jones played this on the Blues Show on BBC Radio 2 when it came out. Single mixed by Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones/Peter Frampton) ❤️❤️❤️ #bbcradio2

[David Fraser @DavidEFraser]

I really really hope they don't pin this on Marti but it's probably inevitable

[David Fraser @DavidEFraser]

QPR are a year into this moneyball, over-clever, use-stats-not-your-eyes approach &...the players are not as good. Begovic, Dozell, Kakay, Willock, Dykes, Armstrong have all gone & the replacements, with exceptions, are inferior. That's a recruitment, not a coaching, problem
