Today I am in a suit for #LYA2022 , where I am nominated for Outstanding Contribution to Student Media, and various societies I am involved in are nominated for various other things. They are all student media groups, which makes sense when considering what I'm up for.

@BeardedGenius From what I can see, think budget Jack Wilshere before the injuries. He does what Wilshere did to Barca, but to Barnsley. So probably good enough to do a job for a mid table side
