@AbzPodcast Remember him coming on for his debut at Ibrox and thinking he looked really impressive. Definitely a player in there for the right coach/system.

@YIMBYman Truly a golden age for everyone both inside and outside of America being absolutely insufferably ignorant about each other.

University tutor: What did you make of the paper's conclusions?

Me (panicking): Erm...I thought they posed lots of interesting questions for further research.

Tutor: Which ones in particular?

Me: ...

Piers Morgan asked Russell Brand which passages were relevant to him when he brought a Bible into court.

@judeinlondon It's just depressing. People trying to smear and drag him on one side, and on the other, people who have suddenly discovered a passion for disability inclusion so they can shout at black people.

[Joseph Emmanuel @joey_45]

@judeinlondon Yeah that pretty much sums up my thoughts. It would have been horrible for MBJ and DL in the moment, and I definitely see the argument that it would be sensible for him to have a private word with them after, but I don't understand what anyone gets from a public apology.

[Joseph Emmanuel @joey_45]

@judeinlondon This is probably the best and most relatable analogy I've heard.

@jonnybid Schools need to train staff so that teachers know how to and are empowered to adapt the resources, but I'd generally rather have something as a starting point.

When I was an NQT, I found planning lessons from scratch pretty overwhelming. High-quality schemes would have helped.

@stonefish100 They go pretty quickly, even with a membership.

Charlton is a decent alternative for atmosphere if you pick the right home game.

Success is when I remember to actually eat the orange I put in my bag rather than just taking it for a nice day out.

@Vitu_E Really like Ting Thai.

@FreeNwakali Jerel Ifil had the worst technique of any professional I've ever seen. Don't know how you can train every day for years and still be that bad.

@GrazaWhu @HLTCO Shifting the goalposts a bit. You said the rest of the league was barely League 1 standard - I'm not sure that Northampton or Mansfield beat a side that finished top 6 in Germany. But anyway, have a good day

[Joseph Emmanuel @joey_45]

@GrazaWhu @HLTCO Aberdeen beat Eintracht Frankfurt last season in the Conference League

@NUFCThreatLevel Did we score a goal the previous week where there was a foul from a corner which was missed? Feel like the chat at the time was Webb had imagined it because of that.

@JonnElledge Is it Blackheath station car park?

[Joseph Emmanuel @joey_45]

@flying_rodent I always go back to when the IDF shot some of the hostages who had managed to escape, even though they were unarmed, half naked and waving a white flag. That was a pretty good indicator of their general approach to civilians.

[Joseph Emmanuel @joey_45]

@FreeNwakali They basically never lose finals anyway. Better to play them now.

@liammcox Bring back Helder Postiga

I thought people like Goodwin were fans of Enoch Powell?

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

Neil Basu, former head of UK anti-terror policing, who said he is "proud to be woke", compared Suella Braverman to Enoch Powell, praised Black Lives Matter & opposed a ‘No Deal’ Brexit, has criticised Priti Patel for suggesting there is "two tier policing".
