Brian Clough once said something along the lines of “People talk too much about football.” MNF’s build up coverage about expected goals is some of the most boring coverage I’ve ever seen. It’s almost as beige as Jamie Carragher’s outfit. #JRWx

PC - What are you doing now?*
JRW - I was just gonna get a coffee and then go to the office.*
PC - Well, don’t go to the office. Do you want to meet Gary Oldman?*

Really trying to give #TheRingsofPower a chance but it just gets exponentially worse with every episode. You have shown such little care for the source material @PrimeVideo. Cancel it. #JRWx
And a new PATTERN emerges:
theatre that delay appointing Artistic Directors and ‘experiment’ with vague artistic leadership structures seem to be getting into all sorts of issues.
You might think having actual ADs is something that’s been tested and really necessary….
Dear @SkyFootball | Your regular @EFL Summarisers: #AndyHinchliffe and #DonGoodman are so negative. Regularly telling players what they should’ve done, instead of analysing positives. People are sick of it. Please address this. #JRWx
Garry was a wonderful actor with a wealth of knowledge. He was in the first Graeae show I saw (Reasons… when it toured to Hull) and gave an absolutely class performance. Glad we shared pints, sorry we never worked together. #JRWx
Garry Robson
March 3, 1952–July 26, 2024
Garry Robson, who has died aged 72, was a force of nature. This was the case whether as actor, playwright or director, all of which he excelled in with an energy, humour and heart that drove everything he did.

The best show I’ve seen this year.
Exceptionally strong directing from #PaulSmith.
And @Lennon0798’s voice deserves to be heard @royalcourt.
Well done, Team @MiddleChildHull.

@LUFCMOTcom First loss of the year. WTH is wrong with the majority of our fanbase. There’s a strong chance the top three will all lose again. Get your brains on and chins up. MOT.
