Tweny five years ago today @alanbrazil and I launched a new concept in radio broadcasting: The @talkSPORT Breakfast Show. Millions of listeners helped us found the world's biggest Sports Station which sounds as good today. Thanks to everybody for your life-long support 😁👍🎤
Clickbait will always sell.
Reporter: Other managers in the past have complained about match ball, do you feel it’s different and affected the result?
Arteta: It’s different to the PL, it flies different but you have to adapt.
Headline: Arteta complains about the matchball
Man Utd captain (yes, captain!) Bruno Fernandes did this to an 18yo who came on in the 79th minute in the defeat to Spurs last night…
Should he be facing a lengthy ban? 🤔
In Dec 2015, Con came to #CrisisAtChristmas after months of sofa surfing and sleeping rough. Nine years later, he's a homeowner, Crisis volunteer, and has managed a service supporting homeless people and prison leavers.

When I read a story I try to read 5 or 6 different sources, especially political stories where bias is legendary. I've then got a decent general overview.
I'm finding a lot of traditional media varying now from basic, factual reporting ( local news) to completely inverted analysis of what I can see, hear and compute with my own eyes. The latter isn't news, it's lying, and lying in "trusted" news media means propaganda.
I used to take what BBC news, C4 News ( especially) Sky News, a mixture of broadsheets, political bias magazines ( New Statesman and Spectator) as mostly truthful with a smattering of owner bias, Editor political bias etc.
Now I do not trust any of the above on any story, including special investigations. Why? The last year the British media has parroted government policy on almost all foreign policy instead of questioning it, and special investigations seem to now exclusively be only done when the broadcaster or outlet believes the public will broadly support its outcome.
I've yet to see a special investigation on Boris Johnson's foreign political relationships, for example, nor where British taxpayers money goes regarding foreign governments or contracts for individuals. Why? They're protected and off limits.
I also don't trust many independent journalists either, especially here as they are far from independent. Many in the pay of foreign governments or hostile actors.
It leaves journalism as an industry in peril, and that's a huge worry because we all should read or watch something that is true, that's what journalism is.
But when you watch something with your own eyes, corroborated by many others, then it's game over.
I'm no idiot, I can see things clearly, often I'll keep quiet for, to be honest, my own safety ( I know many journalists in sport and news who've been cancelled, threatened, doxxed and are genuinely scared), maybe not the bravest approach but mrvral health anxiety already comes with built in fear so putting myself constantly on the line ( I have many times over the years on here and felt the fury, it's not nice) is wearing and leaves you cast aside and seen as an outcast. So I'm comfy in that place now.
Like many others, we’ve lost a lot of followers this week.

So if this is true, it’s 50% more than the average, then. Yet another statistically significant difference in the perennial champions’ favour. Which means this is, quite literally, not normal.
Our Director of Policy and Social Change @CescaAlbanese talked to BBC's Look North last night welcoming the news that the Govt. is considering restricting right to buy sales on new social homes.
