Held Chelsea back for years.
I wouldnât agree with that. Chelsea werenât a big club and in truth still arenât. They were in Division 2 when Bates bought the club for ÂŁ1 in 1982. By the time he left in 2003 they had been consistent trophy winners and qualifiers for the Champions League for the previous four or five years and were a very attractive proposition for a Putin backed plutocrat multi-billionaire to come in and completely queer the pitch in the new wild west of English football.
Thatâs your opinion and youâre very much entitled to it.
Iâm liking this new approach of yours

Kane and Able in the 80s
Iâll have to rewatch Red October. He does such a stellar job in a supporting role.

A fine actor. R.I.P.
Sam Neill RIP, a great actor. Seemed like a thoroughly decent skin as well despite being from Tyrone.
Australians are doing this weird thing they and the English do and claiming Neill as their own. You know like when you see in the sleeve notes of Colm Toibinâs latest book that he is one of the UKâs great writers, now Neill is one of Australiaâs great actors.
Blindboy has a mental short story with Sam Neill as a character
Total Eclipse of the Heart has been my constant earworm since the unfortunate passing of Bonnie Tyler last week. Itâs a terrific song of course, but enough now.
Loved him in Hunt for the Wilderpeople
âWhere weâre going, we wonât need eyes to seeâ.
Loved his performance in that. The bed of heaven to him.

Ah thatâs sad. She had a tough time of it there. A decent skin Iâd say. A fine legacy.

Brendan O Connor did a good interview with her in her home a while back. A tough listen at times. It seemed she was ready to die. Just kind of waiting.
RIP
