Euro 96 started 30 years ago tomorrow.
One of my favourite summers ever.
The opening titles on the BBC and ITV always played a huge part in giving a tournament its own character and helping to create memories that last a lifetime.
Here they are back-to-back, with the BBC first…
“The wages of players from League 2 is between £1000-£2000 per week, players from League 1 earn between £1000-£6000 per week while the players in championship earn a minimum of £10,000 per week “

Who would be the most expensive player in Premier League history adjusting for football inflation (increase in total revenue for the PL per season)? It has to be the greatest goalscorer...the one and only @alanshearer at an inflation adjusted £223.3m when signing for Newcastle. He also appears at £100.2m when signing for Blackburn. @rioferdy5 appears twice in the top dozen signings

Given the ridiculous volume of Prime Ministers that Britain’s endured in recent years, I think it should now be law that if a PM quits or is forced out during his/her term, it automatically triggers a new general election. That might concentrate their minds to do a better job.
During Stockport County’s pitch invasion last night someone 2 footed the Stevenage goalkeeper from behind😭😭😭

All these dull Plaid fools, if you want to give our country away to foreigners that's up to you, but dont don't do it under the pretence of "protecting Welsh culture and language" because the two things can't happen at once. When we become a minority Wales is gone.
I want to be really clear about what our aim is following yesterday’s historic victory.
Win the next general election, and I have never been more confident we are going to do exactly that.
What happening in Great Yarmouth was seismic.
Turnout soared. We brought thousands of people to the polling station who have never voted before. We got more votes in this local election than I received in the general election.
The implications of it all must not be underestimated.
Despite everything Reform threw at us, we decimated them in every single seat. Farage said we wouldn't win one percent. He was right. We won almost fifty.
The nine wards across Great Yarmouth are so varied. From Winterton in the rural north, to the urban centre of Great Yarmouth itself.
We won the nine seats, and the borough council by election, but within those wider seats we won every single ward by a mile.
If we can win in every one of those areas, we can win anywhere.
As I promised, we are going to give the British people a genuine alternative - we are going to provide an option to elect people from outside the rotten political establishment.
We did that in Great Yarmouth, and we delivered a landslide victory.
That was step one. Now, we go national.
Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.
My prediction for the Senedd election in Wales.
Plaid propped up by Labour as opposed to Labour propped up by Plaid.
So basically, the square root of feck all changes here.
History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one.
Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.
A very special day.
