AND ANOTHER THING...
I am just some guy bobbing on in years but the young black guys who are subjected to hatred on social media should hit them in the pocket by closing down your accounts. Footballers have a massive influence. Come on, guys, stand up to this injustice and turn your phones off.

Some advocate a day of remembrance for key workers who have worked through the pandemic. However, we must never forget the devastation suffered by those who have lost their livelihoods and businesses, the younger generation whose future has been destroyed and those who have lost loved ones, not from the virus, but through government incompetence.
Otherwise, a remembrance day would be a kick in the teeth for the millions who may never recover through no fault of their own and for those who retain less than fond memories of how they were treated by the NHS.

Although my wife cuts my hair, in the winter I do tend to let it grow. I call it my winter coat and some mornings it has been mentioned that it resembles a burst sofa.
THE ex-girlfriend of footballer Jerome Boateng has been found dead, a week after the couple split up.
Kasia Lenhardt, who rose to fame on Germany’s Next Top Model, was found on Tuesday in a Berlin apartment believed to belong to the Bayern Munich defender. Police say the death is not suspicious.
The 25-year-old, who had a son from another relationship, dated ex Manchester City star Boateng for 15 months before a bitter split on February 2.
Boateng, 32, had posted he would take responsibility and act in the interests of his family, claiming Lenhardt sabotaged his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Rebecca and their children and blackmailed him into staying.
Meanwhile, Lenhardt had branded her ex ‘the devil’ and vowed to fight back once she was over the break-up.
