Not Terry Hall. Gutted. One of my first heroes. That band taught me more than I had any right to know at that age. Between them and The Jam, these were bands that spoke about us and for us. Rest in peace brother. #terryhallRIP

@cernusson @DrBenLovell Grief. I’ve had tooth ache, broken bones etc and that wasn’t nice. But at least when it was done, it was done. With grief it never seems to end and hits you when you least expect it.

Today’s tiresome Albion take ‘I told you Corberan wasn’t all that’. We know he is not Pep Guardiola (in some ways I wouldn’t him to be) but anyone that thinks he doesn’t have enough credit in the bank to make some mistakes (eg today) probably needs to give their head a wobble.
