I don’t think I’ve ever been angrier at a simple advert in my life. It’s sinister- why not just put ‘we don’t care about your art or your struggle or what it brings into the economy-we’re letting it die so get on with it’ and be honest for once?

My timeline is full of love, admiration and respect for our late friend Nigel Pearson.
To excel at one type of sports commentary is special, but to excel at three is just so - well - Nige.
I loved him as you all loved him - because he was genuine and so so kind

Blues is deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the passing of Club legend Trevor Francis, at the age of 69 on Monday 24 July 2023.
Trevor will forever be revered as a giant of the Club, the player everyone wanted to see. He represented Blues on 330 occasions, scoring 133…
