@MartinSLewis Good that you got a new poll ready, sorted!

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

@PaultonRoversFC Yes Dylan!!!

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

@TVickers1 Pretty sure he was GK at Exeter in the glory days of the 89/90 4th Division title winning season.

(What a team that was, btw).

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

@WillBan49490078 Yes Banksy!! 🤩

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

.. Cup Final at Ashton Gate - Chelsea Women v Man United Women.

💻Have now completed 595 fixtures for OPTA.

🏃‍♂️The role also helps me visit new parkruns on my way to matches so have added 4 new parkruns this season, plus a revisit too.

Let's rest now as Season 10 is coming!

[Crystal Palace F.C. @CPFC]

European Champions.

[Biggies Malls 2.0 @Biggies_MaIIs]

Liked it when “Fletch” said it would be ironic if Arsenal won on penalties given that they haven’t been awarded one all season.

Absolutely mind-boggling levels of ineptitude. They’ve had 8.

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

@Gregggooner55 @IanDarke PSG have literally played non stop now for two consecutive seasons with only the briefest of breaks last summer.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

*Declan Rice passes the ball five yards*

Ally McCoist: “That is exceptional.”

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

Gazza has just turned up at the @footballontnt desk with fishing rods, chicken wings and some lager!!

[Craig @panks_79]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke!!!

GET IN.

PSG win it again🏆

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

And Gabriel to miss it too!!

🤣

[Mark Ridley @MarkRidley62]

@JohnBrewin_ The pundits have been terrible, horrendously biased

[Tom Carter @TomCarter009]

Today's been a good case study for why you should watch football without commentary

@Ally_McCoist9 & Gerrard have got almost every decision.. wrong!

[Kieran @Kie_LFC04]

What are Gerrard and McCoist on about? Madueke has pulled mendes to the floor, such biased commentary on TNT, there needs to be a mute button.

[Lewis Tancock @lewistancock11]

@footballontnt Ally McCoist and the rest of the comms team have been embarrassing tonight. Shameful.

[Martin McConachie @HamdonMart]

Fair play to @footballontnt to get Arsenal TV to do the commentary….
