Well, Well, Well @YujiroTaniyama . My team did not make it once again. You know who I’m behind. Forza Japan. May the force of Holly and Benji be with you.
Great to be doing history talks again. If anyone is interested in Black History or the History of Boxing. Please do come along, and enjoy a fantastic evening about the great Bill Richmond and Tom Molineaux. #boxing#blackhistory#thousandblows

The ending of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) is so iconic it almost overshadows the rest of the film. Leone spent 3 days shooting that standoff, timing every cut and Morricone cue to perfection. Pure cinema distilled into a few breathtaking minutes.
Taranto's Long March to Serie A
This summer, Serie C club Taranto FC folded (again).
In their place, phoenix club SS Taranto have just been admitted to Eccellenza (5th tier).
It's a sickener. But also an opportunity for a city to recover its football heritage & civic pride...
@NimaTavRood To be honest, I would not be suprised if Juve announce that they are sticking with Tudor at this stage. As a Juve fan, I think I would rather that than Mancini or Palladino.
@NimaTavRood@DomApuzzo The way a lot of Juve fans are going about this you would think that there was actually concrete evidence of Juve actually tabling an offer for Conte. Saying that Conte tricked the club and the fans is absurd. Juve were caught sleeping, or they had no actual desire to sign him.
@Bexxstarrr Me: I wanna go to Black Sabbath
*sees prices for seated tickets being £200+*
Me:… I can buy some proper guitar gear and amps with that money…. I don’t wanna go that much. 😂
The original @BlackSabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – will play for the first time in 20 years. The band will take to the stage to headline BACK TO THE BEGINNING on July 5th at Villa Park.
The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see @OzzyOsbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow.
“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”
Formed in Birmingham in 1968 and going on to become one of most successful metal bands of all time, Black Sabbath have sold over 75 million albums worldwide across their legendary career. Setting the blueprint for the many routes heavy metal took, Black Sabbath’s influence and importance is as vital today as it was in the early 1970s.
Music Director @tmorello said: “This will be the greatest heavy metal show ever.”
BACK TO THE BEGINNING will feature sets from @Metallica, @Slayer, @Pantera, @GojiraMusic, @Halestorm, @AliceInChains, @LambOfGod, @Anthrax and @MastodonMusic
The all-day event will also feature a supergroup of musicians.
