Headline in this week’s Kenilworth Weekly News - presumably police are looking for a man who scratches a lot.

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Thoughts with @londonirish fans following the club’s suspension from the leagues. So sad to see the collapse of a club that provided me with so many great memories as a reporter. Here’s hoping players and staff quickly find new jobs and that the club can rise from the ashes.

@gridcustomersuk Thanks for ruining my mum’s 88th birthday!

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

@AfcGabeast Is that really true? Hilarious if it is. There’s no-one playing in the Premier League right now that I loathe more.

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

I’m running in the @Heineken Endure 24-hour relay with six @Redstor work colleagues this weekend in aid of @ReadingRefugees Support Group. Demand for their services has quadrupled since the invasion of Ukraine. Any sponsorship massively appreciated.

@boydhilton @mikelknows @arsenalpodcast Never mind a banner saying ‘Mikel knows’, it should be ‘Nick knows’. Can I have your lottery numbers?

@GoodMarketingHQ Interesting read, but there's a couple of errors in your own CTA. Are they deliberate to see if anyone spotted them? Check the second word in both of these sentences:

If you'd enjoyed it, I'd appreciate . . .

If your feeling generous perhaps . . .

@irish_pics Incredible. Not a story I’d heard before. Had you?

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

@jonathanl50 Congratulations, Jonathan.

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Yes. I’ve seen the date, but I’m guessing the true percentage would actually be even lower.

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Possibly the best stat I’ve ever seen.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

50% - Players who wear gloves in the Premier League make half as many tackles on average than those who don't. Soft.

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Even if you ignore that the ball was belted at him from two yards, when you are side on like that, it is physically impossible to have your arm in a position where it cannot be hit by the ball. Latest interpretation of handball bears no relation to what the law is there for.

[Charles Watts @charles_watts]

How anyone in any position of power within football can look at that Fulham goal tonight and not think that the handball rule must be immediately changed I have no idea.

Absolutely ridiculous that it hasn’t counted.

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Great effort again, mate. We’ll be watching and listening. 👍

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Ian Robertson’s commentary still sends shivers up my spine.

[England Rugby @EnglandRugby]

Reply if you've seen a better drop goal...

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

@charles_watts @TimDellor @jonathanl50 @willow1871 Six years? I’ve only just got my breath back. Hope you and your family are well, Charles. Didn’t we both have No.10 on our backs?

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

@Redstor @MattHancock - Would you agree that getting police advice like this is a good way to stay one step ahead of the cyber criminals exploiting the coronavirus crisis?

[Alan Manicom @alanmanicom]

Good man - and great causes. Just checked my diary and luckily I’m not doing anything Thursday. Look forward to it!

@beINSPORTS_EN His insight is second to none. Going to enjoy this A to Z.
