@CrossCountryUK Hi, at the moment I only have the journey summary email as the tickets are to be collected tomorrow. Should I share the booking reference?

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@CrossCountryUK Weird one, we have two tickets booked with you tomorrow, but I've just checked the email and it says "2 child with: Two together rail card."

I am 99.9% sure I wouldn't have made the mistake of booking a child fare, but could this be looked into?

"Like Monty Panesar on Mastermind, Steve Smith simply had no answer to..."

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@tickerscricket Sure, but can you sum it up in a sound?

[David Allsop @david_A90]

Football isn't important here. But all I will say is, if we NEEDED a goal, and the ball fell to someone just inside the box, I wanted it to be Diogo.

RIP Diogo Jota and Andre Silva

It's the morning after, and still don't really have any words here, but not too proud to say this video brought tears to the eyes

I just cant imagine how the family are feeling. All my thoughts remain with them, especially his wife and their kids.

I don’t want to live in a world where somebody drives a car into a crowd of people who just want to celebrate their football team.
And I don’t want to live in a world where the police have to specify that person is white & British to stop hotels & mosques being firebombed.

@dannyw1989 You've cleverly anticipated my usual response here. Will this replacement work?

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@dannyw1989 but enough about Trent Alexander Arnold etc etc *insert humorous gif here*

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@dannyw1989 Don't make me post the meme again (which is now even more appropriate given the original quote)

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@dannyw1989 Usually, this would make me feel insanely jealous and petty. But not this time, cos I'M THERE TOO, BABY

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@dannyw1989 Always here, mate

[David Allsop @david_A90]

there they are, all the lads

[David Allsop @david_A90]

Not sure about everyone else's Friday, but I'm currently in Madrid eating churros at a place that, according to the wall, is also frequented by such celebrities as Naomi Campbell and the boys from Los Del Rio. So I'm all good here.

@dannyw1989 This is an all-timer from the Forest admin

Far be it from me to make a comment on Paul Tierney's ability, but I have never in my life seen such a fuss made about a drop ball 2 minutes before a goal

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

Paul Tierney will not referee a Premier League game this weekend and will instead act as VAR for Arsenal vs Brentford.

[David Allsop @david_A90]

Just wanted to see if you have any advice on this?

[David Allsop @david_A90]

@British_Airways Hi, can I check whether an NHS work ID card is enough for photo ID on a UK domestic flight?
