'A man meets an old university friend, but finds that things have changed between them.' This started life as a novel scene, but now lives on as a short story. Reads and retweets would be hugely appreciated! https://t.co/zcNOJoYrlB
@caribbeanpotter@ESPNUK I can't believe some of the idiotic responses to this. What are the chances of the casting team landing on an actor, who not only looks exactly like a certain player, but who can also act well enough to be in a prime time BBC drama? They did brilliantly with some of them.
@cetchingham_ I think it's impossible for any tournament that happened before you were born to mean much. The meaning comes from the emotional investment, the jeopardy and uncertainty...the being there in the moment.
@darzmusic@ryle_nugent That was mine. I was 12. Statistically it's supposed to be the worst ever World Cup, but statistics don't take into account Nessun Dorma, World in Motion or me in the garden pretending to be Gazza.
It speaks volumes that the first thing I'm doing when I see graphics like this is trying to see 3 clubs we'll finish above next season. I'm struggling.
Watching a few World Cup documentaries to get in the mood for this summer. The Golden Generation one on BBC i-player is just bloody depressing. Sven wasn't the right man to manage that squad. Too laid-back, too laissez-faire, too unimaginative tactically. #England#worldcup
What the fucking hell is this referee on? Mbuemo virtually catches the ball, VAR tells him to go over to the screen, he does, watches it, then awards the goal. Even Gary Neville is amazed. Of course, it's Man Utd who benefit. Absolute bullshit.
I'm just too young to remember the last time one of the Old Firm didn't win the Scottish title (Aberdeen in 84-85). I've been following events north of the border for the last few months. I'd love to see Hearts win it tonight. #Hearts
@damian_lythgoe I'm amazed that Wardley's got as far as he has tbh. His courage, chin and knockout power are all top level, but he has no idea how to pace a fight, defend himself, judge distance...etc. He's a great story, but Dubois was a bridge too far.
