@alimavz Think you're being a bit selective here, Alistair - I like to think I did well stacking shelves at Morrisons in 2004 but I'd like to think I'm not judged on it now.
In any case, the smart money seems to be on Heckingbottom, so we'll see if you're right.
I see lots of people here showing off their mental gymnastics with "actually [failed manager] would be a great appointment actually" tweets, but let's be honest, Challinor is by far and away the standout candidate and he should be our first choice. #bcafc
@alimavz This is untrue. He also struggled at Hibs and Leeds. Challinor has succeeded everywhere he's been. Yes, Heckingbottom has managed at a higher level, but we're kidding ourselves if we think the infrastructure of our club is closer to Sheff U and Leeds than is is to Stockport.
@allmoshnopit Had to spend Xmas alone in 2021. Made myself enchiladas, watched The Matrix and played Hollow Knight. It was the best Xmas I can remember. Just see it as a free day to do what you like. Hope it goes okay!
As a rank-and-file ST holder at a football league club: I think most fans accept not drinking in the stands as an acceptable trade-off for not having to stand up every five minutes to allow people on your row to go to the bar, or getting lager poured on you when a goal is scored.
NEW: Football fans will be allowed to drink in the stands for the first time in 40 years under Andy Burnham’s bid to rip up the historic booze ban.
The PM is looking at repealing the controversial 1980s law prohibiting alcohol being slugged within sight of the pitch.
He said it was unfair that football supporters were “singled out” for such curbs and that there was a "case to remove that discrimination".
But it risks teeing up a showdown with cops who have long feared it would only fuel outbursts of hooliganism at matches - and are already criticising the move.
RiP Tim Curry. As a kid I was a big fan of his dramatic and comedic performances - but none more so than as Premier Cherdenko in Command & Conquer Red Alert III.
@TheWidthofaPost The red cards in the Michael Proctor game evoke similar levels of unresolved fury as when Nicky Weaver wrestled Ashley Ward to the ground in 2001, for which Ward was somehow booked. I angrily bring both up to this day to the despair of friends and loved ones.
