Djed Mysterio Spence? 😆 Never struck me as a wrestler. Boy did we strike lucky with the the timing of his decent run. The fact we managed to offload him for a decent fee is quite unbelievable when you see what’s (not) done since leaving. Wasted talent.

My wife has a couple of family members who are massive Tories (Shame! Shame!). To be honest, they’re really lovely people and have always been great with us. I just can’t discuss politics with them. A political discussion with them is basically just regurgitated Daily Mail Headlines and Opinion...

I’ve spoken to some of them over the years. I’ve mentioned on here a few times in the past. Some drink in my local. They seem like relatively normal blokes on the surface, then you open the can of worms which is Politics - UK or US and you regret it within about 2 minutes. The correlation...

My Mrs and soon to be 2 year old daughter love “Cado” as the little one calls it. I can’t get away with it and I eat most foods. Don’t mind making a Guac with it with a load of lime juice but I’m not a huge fan of it just plain. Somebody else on an old post also mentioned bread and butter...

Any races in mind yet MrIsaac? I recall Lady Ayresome winning a couple at Beverley which is obviously has quite a stiff finish. I’ll keep my eyes peeled! 😀

I’ve had a bet for interest. Now 8’s. Low draws on soft ground are usually advantageous at Redcar but in a Maiden race with 8 inexperienced 2yo’s, that’s probably negated somewhat. Kevin Ryan knows how to get them ready though. Whatever happens, it’s the first day at school for Hickton. Hope...

Ayling joined at the same time we were having a bit of a rough time, form wise. If you go back to that timeline on here, not many players avoided the pelters. Nearly all of the squad had reverted to league one level according to some. Nothing to do with the fact we were ravaged with injuries...

Just spotted Hickton on todays Redcar card in the 3:25. Hope he runs well! 👍🔴⚪️

Nope. I think Carrick is building something and he’s almost at the point where he can have a real push next season. It’s likely he’ll sign a new deal anytime now. He’s a man of integrity. Unless a mental offer came in from a massive PL club (which is unlikely) then I think we are safe...

Glover done okay for us. He wasn’t as bad as bad as some made out. That said, he made some very costly mistakes in his latter appearances for us. He’s a 6-7/10 which is okay for the occasional stand in but he’s not good enough for me. I would hope one the young keepers are at least as good, if...

Mumford & Sons - Little Lying Man

I’ve said this a few times about Bairstow. He’s been a great servant for England but he’s not getting any younger and he’s been crap since his return. If he wasn’t best mates with Ben Stokes, I do wonder whether another player with similar recent form would be still in the side (in all...

If you look at half of them they’re all taking photos and recording on their phones. It’s just another Social Media BS thing driving some of it IMO. “Look at Me, please like me” type scenario. I think that’s what annoys me more. In our Karanka days, there was a lad at work like that. Really...

4 Mile run this morning. Went out for a walk around Acklam with the Bairn and Missus earlier. Bit of lunch in The Tipsy - I was good and only had one pint and a salad. Then walked back home via the Duck Pond near Acklam Hall to feed the “quacks quacks” as my daughter calls them...

I used to be a huge fan of Pizza Pan, particularly the parmos. However, in the last few years it seems to have changed. Not sure if they’ve change chicken supplier or how they prep it, but their parmos these days seem to be much thinner. They always used to be really thick and decent quality...
