Today I’m walking the old railway line from Bristol to @BathCity_FC v @OfficialECFC to stamp out pancreatic cancer. 15 miles in memory of my dad who lost his fight with this evil cancer last month. Please sponsor me if you can & support @PancreaticCanUK thebigstepforward.org.uk/fun…

Plaid Cymru want to close M4 junctions in Newport: ❌ J27 High Cross: full closure ❌ J26 Malpas: east slips ❌ J25 Caerleon: east slips Traffic chaos for residents, and the report admits worse air quality and noise. I'm totally opposed. Page 39: gov.wales/m4-around-newport-…

P.S. And we took Spurs to a replay and played at Wembley again. Massively important money for us.
Cunts out there who run the game of football trying to trick you into believing The Cup doesn't mean anything to sides at the bottom. It's bollocks and this proves it. Probably my favourite away day ever. Shame on you @EmiratesFACup and @premierleague youtu.be/-R8DlFiu8Ks?si=spy9…

Exeter City FC and the @ECFCST are bitterly disappointed, but not surprised, to learn of the fundamental changes that have been agreed to the format of the FA Cup, with seemingly no consultation of EFL and National League clubs. Our football club, like many others, owes its past, its present and its future to the FA Cup replays that have now been taken away from us by those who sit at the very top of the game.The televised replay against Manchester United that helped keep the Club alive in the early years of supporter ownership. The trip to Anfield after holding Liverpool to a draw at St James Park. The home replays against Leicester City and Newcastle United on our way to the Quarter Finals in 1981. And so many more. That only a select few clubs are allowed to slowly chip away at the very fabric of what makes the English game the envy of most with complete impunity serves only as a reminder of why the Independent Regulator is so desperately needed. Exeter City Football Club and the Exeter City Supporters’ Trust condemn the decision to scrap FA Cup replays and call on The FA to suspend these changes with immediate effect until a consultation of all stakeholders has taken place. #ECFC #SemperFidelis

That 160% increase in Tesco profits this year? That used to be your family butcher. The veg shop. The hardware store. All those local businesses. If we each spend just a tenner a week in cash at our local small businesses we bring £20b into our local economies.

🛤️ A reminder to supporters to check your travel plans ahead of Saturday's match with @StevenageFC Due to train strikes there are no rail services planned to SJP on Saturday. With this in mind, it's worth planning extra time if you are heading to us via the M5! #ECFC

I’m going to find this hour very interesting, 2 weeks short of 24 years after my own traumatic brain injury where I know things have never been the same as they were before.
Some people with brain injuries are to get antidepressants as part of an NHS study. A US study found brain trauma can affect the neural pathways and lead to depression. The NHS will now look at whether early use of antidepressants helps. @NickyAACampbell asks: Life after a head injury ❓
