Looks like the team won't be able to fly down for this today, so it'll be the morning. An absolute recipe for a sub-par performance.

Listen to this hard cunt going out for a walk in it.

I'd be gutted and I think he'd be daft if he didn't leave.

Pleased to hear you're all OK. I was out first thing this morning putting the garden furniture and anything that looked like it might take flight in the garage. The dog's paddling pool (yes, the dog has a paddling pool) has gone in there too cos that fucker takes off and could brain someone. Not as badly as a trampoline mind you. It's meant toe be 72mph gusts here now, rising to 78 for a couple of hours at lunchtime, then gradually dying off. Wind is proper stress weather. I've convinced myself the fences are coming down and the roof's coming off, and I'm just sat here waiting for it to happen.

Sorry to hear about your mate, tbd. That's awful. I would hope the club would act appropriately here anyway, buut particularly a club with a CEO in a similar situation. As you say though, imperative that he makes sure they're keeping records of the situation. Might be worth him writing to them and then following up with a phone call when he can be sure they've received it. Write to the fan liaison officer too, not the box office.

All well with you, @ewerk? Have you let the pigs into the house?

Oof. Is that down for you as well? Cork and Limerick were looking like they'd take an absolute hiding.

Top wind speeds have come down again slightly during the day. Nothing forecast over 70 for the NE whereas it was over 80 forecast last night.

Hope's latest.

Aye it was down for me earlier. I was desperate to make my PL meets tbd masterpiece but was kept waiting.

Came across this on Getty Images. It's @PaddockLad meeting up with @thebrokendoll@thebrokendoll just outside St James's. Found it completely by chance.

Average career of a Premier League footballer is 8 years apparently. According to the Internet. I assume that's the average time a footballer that makes it to the PL lasts in the PL, rather than their full career length. Not a lot of time, which is all the more reason for them to want to make as much as possible while they're there.

Is there a column that shows what they're earning in Club Legend Bucks?

Reading that has given me new found respect for the Glazers.

Sponsor tie-ins as well and endorsements. Their earning potential dramatically increases at a bigger, global brand club.

Building a new stadium and whacking up prices. Let's hope that's the last lever they pull (ticket prices) cos there's plenty scope for improvement elsewhere before they start pricing people out of the match.

You DEFINITELY have rose tinted glasses on, and I'm beginning to wonder if you aren't also on mushrooms.

I think you're overestimating what it means to a Swedish lad to be a "club legend" that earns less and wins fewer trophies than if he played elsewhere.

Money is the answer. He's probably on less than a third of what Haaland is getting at Man City. He's not gonna settle for that long term and we're not in a position to match it yet.

First draft of wykiki, he came with just a tache (probably accurate), and his wife looked like she was auditioning to be in the thriller video. No sign of Wilson either. Replaced by floating NUFC crests.

Fully shaved head at the minute aye. There's enough there for me to be one of those baldness deniers who constructs a sort of hairstyle but it would be patchy as fuck. Not for me, that game. There'll be lads on here playing that game though. Not a doubt in my mind.

I like the wife's jeankini. Very fashion forward household by the look of it.

When did Renton take up the piano?

Didn't even realise "Wilson" had kicked a hole in your front door. First the wife's back door, and now this. What a prick.

It's some cost saving thing you came up with. Yorkshire stuff.
