0 - Everton are only the second top-flight side to lose an FA Cup penalty shootout without scoring any of their penalties in that shootout, after Blackburn against Sunderland in February 2003. Tame.

FFS Moyes. Do something! 😡🙄

Leeds used to have more than 80 tram routes and 200 miles of track. Now it has zero miles and zero routes. In fact, it's the largest city in Europe without mass transit. And every attempt, for decades, to build new networks has been killed by Whitehall. (1/?)

When Ange Postecoglou flies back from London to Melbourne he could watch every minute of his 8 games as Forest manager on his laptop and still have time left to take in the three Crocodile Dundee films before landing.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Why is this being hushed up in the UK ?

Because the UK press is thoroughly corrupt

[Jim Keoghan @jim_keoghan]

Before his move, in his previous 95 league games, Dewsbury Hall picked up 9 yellow cards

In just 6 games for Everton he has 5

While its possible he has suddenly become a different player overnight, it’s equally possible that Everton are just officiated differently

BREAKING: The former leader of Reform UK in Wales, Nathan Gill, has pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to eight bribery charges while an elected member of the European Parliament.

The charges relate to making favourable statements about Russia in exchange for money during his time as a member of the European Parliament.

Feels like years since only three added minutes in a big premier league game

I swear Portsmouth just bought on a stunt double for their keeper. Absolute doppelganger

The England wall! 🧱

England haven't conceded in any of their last seven competitive fixtures, which equals their longest ever run of clean sheets in such games.

They previously kept seven in a row between October 1988 and October 1989 under Sir Bobby Robson.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Reform is led by Londoners who haven’t had a lifetime of using railways in the North.

So I suppose it’s no surprise that they think it’s fine for us to be stuck with a second-class railway while the south gets modern, high-speed lines.👇🏻

We have higher ambitions for the North.

Life at their new home is off to a flying start for Everton! 👊

[Gary Lambert @TheGaryLambert]

The first time since Easter Monday 1892 that Everton have played a home game not at Goodison Park.

If you’ve got a ticket, you’re going to see Everton history that’ll be spoken about beyond your lifetime.

Forget test events, this is the first one. Let’s make it great.

18 years ago today, Rhys Jones was tragically and innocently killed aged 11.
