@footballontnt Why isn’t there Serie A coverage tonight? There was no warning you would be showing fewer games this season, despite no reduction in the subscription. Would appreciate a reply after asking the same question yesterday @tntsports

[Pete Orchard @PeteOrchardPR]

@footballontnt Disappointing that your Serie A coverage seems to have been scaled back this season (eg, today’s 11.30 game not being shown). Any plans to put this right?

Me: Some of the greatest @oasis songs were B sides.

The Spotify generation I live/work with: What’s a B side?

Pipe down and listen to (It’s Good) To Be Free, Cloudburst, Fade Away and Underneath the Sky and let me pretend it’s 1996 #oasis2025

The Black Forest Bill Shankly. He just got it. YNWA Jurgen ❤️🙏 #DankeJürgen

RIP Bob Hunt, the voice of @FGRFC_Official on @BBCGlos for so many years. Lovely man, huge character and brilliant company at the cricket and football. Condolences to Billy and the family

Gutted for Andy Mangan but don’t think he’ll have to wait long for another opportunity after #bristolrovers. Talented coach and people person. Who knows, perhaps a vacancy will emerge soon elsewhere? 🤔#fgr

Fair play Elton John 👏. Not sure he can top Rick Astley as a non-bigoted Morrissey with Blossoms though (or the Lightning Seeds) #glastonbury2023 #TheSmiths

‘A lump of weapons-grade narcissism polluting the political air’. Outstanding, and I didn’t think it was possible to describe him without swearing

I wonder if Andy Townsend is warming up his tactics truck? (ask your dads kids) #fuckthetories

[Pete Orchard @PeteOrchardPR]

@ryanharmer101 Agreed 👍

[Pete Orchard @PeteOrchardPR]

Space Karen he may be, but Musk has played a blinder with the Following tab on here. Easy now to filter out the bilge and the frankly horrible suggestion that I follow Piers Morgan 🤢 #cheersElon

And nobody’s even mentioned that she killed the Queen on her first day #TrussUnfitToGovern #poundcrash

[Jamie Carragher @Carra23]

#BorisJohnson lied about believing in Brexit just so he could become PM. He lied constantly as PM so he has now been thrown out. But we all have to live with his biggest lie of all #Brexit 🤷‍♂️

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

As with so many other national crises, Brexit is not the *sole* cause of air travel misery. But it is a major contributory factor. The failure to mention it properly is a failure of journalism & a shameful betrayal of listeners, viewers & readers. It really has to stop.

Gerrard, Warne and @ronnieo147 are the greatest sportspeople I’ve watched live. The longevity of Ronnie’s brilliance, which has somehow both mesmerised and reassured throughout my adult life, probably sets him apart #SnookerWorldChampionship 🐐

[Pete Orchard @PeteOrchardPR]

Congratulations @FGRFC_Official 👏👏. Get that second star unshaded ⭐️⭐️
