@cjmavfc I would like to think Hemmings stays for the season. If anything it gives both him and Garnacho a reason to perform. Genuine competition for a place. It's been a while!

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@J_Tanswell I think it was telling that there was a drop-off after Madjo came off!

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

Madjo, Hemmings, and Alysson is some seriously good youth talent to be pulling into the main squad.

A good game tonight and once full squad are back in training this is a solid base.

Be nice to see a couple more final signings this window!

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

Madjo continuing a great pre-season! Could have had a hat-trick already but main thing I love to see is he is always where you want your 9 to be.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@hikingshawty Those are some excellently done roasties.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

I think this might be one of the greatest stories ever told.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

@academyavfc Our youth keeper is called Blade? Well that's cool as heck.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@paulg @PatrickHeizer I read The Stranger a few months back. Felt like a profoundly unfair story.

Is that the gist?

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

Pretty good signing to find on an Indeed job posting.

[Brentford FC @BrentfordFC]

Sangaré signed ✅

We are delighted to confirm the arrival of Mali international midfielder @msangare2002 from Lens for a club-record fee ✍️

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@iamlaurael I like these very much.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@lukebailey90 This is outstanding.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@Jonathan_Hinder This policy COULD work but implementation detail needed.

Would there be exceptions like single person or SMI discounts, or going the other way where a household visibly consumes more services from would they have an excess to pay?

HMOs/multi family occupancy spring to mind.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@Teknium Does this mean I can retire Manifest router? My main concern has always been trying to firewall Hermes from running wild as root on my server and/or from inadvertently exposing secrets.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@Jamorushton Going to feed the conspiracy theorists that we've sent Alysson instead of Rogers to Chelsea 😅

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

My speech-to-text having a bit of a nightmare this morning as it transcribed Aston Villa Foundation as Essenbüller Foundation.

Close, but no cigar.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@DanNeidle I feel like this might be one of those “if everyone dislikes you equally, you're probably doing it right” type situations.

Facts. Data. Pragmatism.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@MartinSLewis It helps when people like you talk about real scenarios.

Scammers are relentless. They will spoof phone numbers and pretend to be from HSBC and say “you can check the number I am calling from on the back of your debit card”. They are creative as crime pays for them.

Stay alert!

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@Teknium Sorry for your loss. He looked like a good dog.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

@sama Would very much like to use it with an animal welfare charity I am a trustee of in the UK but seemingly not something I can get access to.

[Stefan @SenorStefan]

I like the look of this!

[Josh Pigford @Shpigford]
