Knew this day was coming but still wasn't ready for it. The foundation of all the amazing memories of the past years - on the Mount Rushmore of British hockey.

@GBHockeyFuture But again, without Brits playing in actual roles on EIHL teams due to import limits (top 6, PP1), what hope do we have?

[Jon Rowson @JonRowson]

@GBHockeyFuture There's definitely been a decline (both in ability & mentality) compared to past performances. Profiles like O'Connor and Hammond haven't been replaced. Also, loss of big characters (O'C, J & D Phillips, Mosey) is a cultural issue. i.e. getting so outworked by AUT/HUN.

@TeamGBicehockey I love you, but you're making it awfully hard rn

[Jon Rowson @JonRowson]

Still love you @TeamGBicehockey

@davidgknights @BannersOTW He tied the DEL record for the number of goals in a Finals series with 6 (I think there were 3 players who had this in the past).

@postsocialismus Next we'll have Varlamov interviewing B. Kagarlitsky fresh out of the IK.

@solventspurs Can you please let us know your concrete, final thoughts on Tudor at the first possible convenience. Thank you.

@postsocialismus I've found out that a chapter I co-wrote is getting published in 2026. I wrote it in 2018 and left academia in 2020.

[Jon Rowson @JonRowson]

@solventspurs Where's the punchline in this. Am I missing the punchline?

[Jon Rowson @JonRowson]

@TO_Raccoon416 @leonidragozin Yes, if you try and argue with the gosuslugi officials, then they stick to the transliteration sheet. However if you procure the services of one of those "agencies" to help with getting a заграник, then they will transliterate how you wish.

@postsocialismus Had a weekend Moscow rental that I kept going back to in a building like this. Mind was blown when the landlord showed me you could open the домофон with a 10 ruble coin.

@solventspurs Insightful analysis.

@FootballCliches thoughts on using "Dogg" in the same vein as a surname is used for second mentions in copy.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🦢 Understand Swansea City are set to announce their latest coup with Snoop Dogg joining the ownership group.

With global social media following over 190MM, Dogg will add worldwide recognition.

This is the club's second major investor announced since April when Luka Modric joined the US based group led by entrepreneurs and controlling shareholders, Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen.

Dogg is not expected on the pitch anytime soon but will retain his eternal status as a playa.

@HenryStaelens Hi Henry, have appreciated your openness to two-way communication before. In his recent YT video, Ben Bowns said that 2026 might be his last season with GB because he can't justify being away for weeks without pay now he's a father. Does IHUK plan to address this in future?

[Jon Rowson @JonRowson]

@Billie_T I'm praying for the day he gets to fully describe what actually happened, what Levy said to him, and his feelings on him and the board.

[Jon Rowson @JonRowson]

My number nine.
