๐ Swapped accts w/ @ThePinchNews After a decade of tweeting about the fanzine, Paul Coutts, and Ben Osborn, the grind of Twitter has caught up with me. No longer posting as frequently, nor as "I". Fanzine will be back though. ๐๐ Personal ๐ @sam__joseph

Shortlisted again for @WeAreTheFSA Awards. Four years in a row. This time for the pod. Ridiculous really. Big night incoming. If supporting the Blades has taught us anything, itโs managing expectations. Thanks to everyone who listens - means a lot!

If you haven't read it #twitterblades, can I recommend the free Weekend Notes newsletter from @NTT20Pod? A snappy breakdown of the EFL weekend. Also, when the chance arises, nothing will stop me talking about Blades clean sheets and Michael Cooper. https://t.co/6tFT98kl7c

"The league table never lies..." โ really? Even after just 6 games? David Taylor, Sam Parry and Riley Roberts play 'Would I lie to you?' with the Championship.

I wrote this for @NTT20Pod. It starts at around 6pm on Feb 3 2024 โ Blades concede a fourth against Villa. Fast forward to a strong start in the Champ. The 'P' word creeps in. My PL fear isn't that ๐ธ๐ฆ'๐ณ๐ฆ bad, but that the pyramid really is broken. https://t.co/agsbQCM3lS

Why preferring the EFL to the Premier League is to prefer the unpredictable to the predictable, the drama to the melodrama, the goal to the maybe-goal, and the competition to the procession.

Proud of the quality of the NTT20 Transfer Bulletins, which I think has been maintained despite the season starting. I make it 593 completed transfers + 34,500 words written so far. Transfer breakdown: Championship 146, League One 217, League Two 230. Link in tweet below.
