Just found Trans World Sport on in a hotel away for work. Nostalgic.

Two superb candidates in what was a very high quality contest. An exciting time for the Conservative party and for British politics more generally

28 years ago at St. James Park:

Philippe Albert strides forward with purpose.

Peter Schmeichel takes an extra step off his line.

And Martin Tyler uncorks a glorious goalgasm in the commentary box...

We couldn’t beat any big 6 side away for 5 years till Arteta came. Now we’ve beaten Spurs away 3 seasons on the bounce and didn’t lose a big 6 fixture last season. Wild to think we used to get destroyed in these games.

[Papa Dave @davmatter]

@adamvoge All the very best for attempting to deal with your loss and brave of you to speak out.

[Papa Dave @davmatter]

..or Sicily?!

[Papa Dave @davmatter]

Anyone any thoughts on recommending/not a few days away in Sardinia..? or _possibly_ a Greek island near Myknonos, as fairly sure I'd not like Mykonos itself at all..

@CartoonBouldy Nice one. I don't think I'll _actually_ permanently be off but will train myself off the auto-Twitter-open when boarding a train or brewing a tea..

[Papa Dave @davmatter]

Think I might well get away from my historial mild addiction this place to escape ol' c*nty M*SK and the shitstirry racisty bits I now see more of. Shout if anyone reading this is on Threads.

@SazzBickler @Glinner @sanditoksvig Does it not occur to you that your "comedy heroes" might be right?

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.

[Papa Dave @davmatter]

@forlornhorn2 @redview1975 @richardosefton @Centrefuter Yeah can't believe he went to a European country to meet allies at important events rather than personally stop boats on those two days.

[Papa Dave @davmatter]

@KCMANC @LizTray Yeah it's really not anything at those levels.
