Here you go letting facts get in the way of a good story

[History Rage Podcast @HistoryRage]

🚨 THIS WEEK TO PATREON AND APPLE SUBS🚨 One of the biggest myths about Normandy? That the British and Canadians were moving too slowly. 🇬🇧🇨🇦 @BattlefieldBen explains they were facing the bulk of Germany’s Panzer divisions around Caen while the Americans fought fewer armoured formations further west. The scale of the fight changes everything. 🎙️🔥

@pn_neil_allen “Hi Michael I know I left the club nearly a decade before you took over & I have no ties whatsoever to PFC but this bloke wants a chat, you OK with that?”

@grahamdubber @jayr1972 It’s not the League of Nations that you remember

The Nations League is an attempt by UEFA to give the cash cow another squeeze with a convoluted summer tournament

[Bob Beech @bobbeech]

@jayr1972 watched Dear England I think I must have been living in a vacuum because I swear when Southgate sacked off the pointless Nations League resting all the key players even saying it was a waste of time ahead of the World Cup everyone applauded him

Wouldn’t it have been better to start this last year rather than halfway through the centenary year?

@BenjoPompey @FlynnJonas2 Most fans of all clubs are though but they’re usually lost amongst the noisy few As always it’s the fans who suffer for the decisions of those in charge who don’t have accountability While we can take the piss because it’s their turn in the barrel what goes around comes around

@grahamdubber He hasn’t committed a criminal offence potentially inciting however nobody around him appears that bothered The shirt itself isn’t illegal has nothing criminal on it and if suspected of being stolen the person wearing should be arrested Another example of police overreaching

@jayr1972 Without fear or favour

@jayr1972 Point of order please:

There is no such thing as ex-plod

I like this tweet because (A) It’s true & (B) has properly rattled a fan from Scotland

[spreadsheet virgin @ibetpal]

The World Cup kick off times are fine. England games are 9pm, 9pm, 10pm. Stop this faux outrage because you can’t watch Uzbekistan vs. Colombia at 3am.

@TMac93684 Jeez no that’s as bad, possibly worse
