The comments section of the Bradford Telegraph & Argus offers a clue to how David #Hockney launched the Friezer Art Fair

Recalling the comforting familiarity of the Scotland and NI teams in those 70s/80s world cups. Like a Division One Select XI but ultimately outclassed by inhabitants from far off lands.
Bit like watching Brazil in 2026 #FIFAWorldCup

Astonishingly, Mike Joyce isn’t listed at all

Johnny Marr is listed three times! Is Moz trying to land a point?!
Somebody should make a shopping list song with this little lot. Would be better than anything His Mozjesty has created in the last 30 years 🤣

A Birmingham City mate just mentioned the Leeds game from May ‘85. Caused me to look at our team sheet and I saw we still had two players from Paris 75 and another who would play in the 1999 Champs League Final. That 24 year spread, joined up in 1985, is a bit mad (1/3) #lufc

I knew there no way Bayern could’ve done that but of course, I checked. Their longest serving player in ‘99 was Lothar Matthäus who joined in 1984. The last player from Paris was Bernd Dürnberger who finished in…. 1985. BD played 24 games in 1984/85 and LM was top scorer (2/3)

So Bayern did do it & with more style, they won the title in 85! At least they had the decency to lose in ‘99 & cruelly too. It’s possible Uli Hoeness could’ve still been playing in ‘85 too, he was only 23 in Paris but the injury he picked up that night curtailed his career (3/3)

Went to the #Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy in 2016. The dates each painting started/finished was shown. It was genuinely astonishing how quickly he worked. Four days on a huge canvas of a Yorkshire landscape. Then the next one, completed on days 2 and 3 of the first 😳

Having watched some brief clips of the Crouch’s podcast this isn’t a huge shock…. ‘It’s not the first time she’s used the car park for staff’ #popbitch
