[NCFC Numbers @ncfcnumbers]

How many left-backs did we use last season?

Which player we’ve not seen since November has more NCFC minutes than Maghoma?

Who are the only Champ team with more points than Norwich City in 2026? (Clue: 🌳🕵️)

[The Final Word @Final_Word_Pod]

The classic T20 scenario where a wicketkeeper, wearing batting pads and batting gloves, plus a helmet, takes a diving catch parallel to the square leg umpire, who is next to TWO square leg fielders, both wearing whites, with floodlights on under midday blue skies.

AI sucks.

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

This feels very England v Croatia/Italy/Spain. Arsenal can’t get anywhere near the ball!

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@danpatriley Not sure I’d be picking a player just cos they’re good at pens tbh!

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

That’s a squad where the attacking options have been rightly built to get the most out of Kane.

Strong starting XI, but not huge depth at the back or in midfield.

Would’ve taken another no.10 over Toney, and we might regret not picking Wharton/Scott if Anderson gets injured.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

This is the England squad BBC Sport expects to be named 📋

The final place in the 26-man squad is expected to go to Myles Lewis-Skelly, Trent Alexander-Arnold or James Garner.

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@danpatriley I imagine it’s deliberately like for like to play to Kane’s strengths. Makes sense to me, but it’s a big risk if he gets crocked! Which is why I’d have had Palmer or Foden ahead of Toney, as they naturally suit Watkins.

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@oro7777777 Direct wide players and no.10s who can get in behind. Perfect for Kane, and I guess why Palmer and Foden miss out (plus their lack of form).

[James Benge @jamesbenge]

Truly nothing gets the World Cup fever going in me like England losing their mind over the 22nd most important guy in the squad

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

Do people actually enjoy having the World Cup squad leaked? Same with player signings.

Isn’t it more fun to find out when they’re officially announced?

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@MondayMusicUK I just read that apparently they were planning for three scenarios: Premier League, Championship, and League One. So they must have thought relegation was on the cards

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

Is a 4-point deduction enough for Southampton? Found guilty of spying on multiple clubs. Therefore trying to enhance their own performance through systematic cheating to the detriment of the rest of the teams in the league. Only minus 4 points for that?

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

Beautiful goal with his weaker foot and a craft little assist. Emi Buendia playing the hits. Love him, and what a story his comeback’s been this season.

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@eajacobs1989 And I imagine most clubs didn’t think they had much to gain from spending hours trawling through CCTV

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@oro7777777 Yeh, I guess it’s on other clubs to prove it. I imagine a few are paying even closer attention to cctv from the time now.

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@beneast74 Yeh, that’s true. Sounds like quite a lot of clubs had their suspicions but didn’t have the evidence/didn’t want to get involved.

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

@JohnBrewin_ Or when he’s trying to boot the ball out of play for a bet

@SouthernCanary_ 100%

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

Harwood-Bellis is about to get memed to eternity

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

Scottish football just can not get anything right. Apart from Kenny.

@ncfcpain @SouthernCanary_ 🙏🙏

[Daniel Brigham @dan_brigham]

Núñez was an absolute machine. Gibson didn’t put a foot wrong. Barnes’ most effective performance of the season. Just lovely, lovely stuff. And, to cap it off, Kieran McKenna has terrible head boy energy
