@annaparker_ @HistoryToday I have just read your article (I am always a few months behind with HT). It was fasinating to read someting I had no knowledge of and the parallels that Czech sporting history has with other nations in regards to nationalism, codification, and organisation. Thank you.

@footballespana_ About 3 years after tennis players and pickle juice.

@HLTCO It's mental that last season part of the ground was closed due to chants in every game he plays in Sevilla of 'Sergio Ramos, hijo de puta' (literally 'Sergio Ramos, son of a whore', in reality 'Sergio Ramos, fucking cunt'.

@FYPFanzine Absolutely

@DawnButlerBrent Whatever name they are using, it is probably really Grant Shapps.

Here it is. Captain and goalkeeper @jakebuss1 rescued a point for us last night with this stunning strike in the eighth minute of injury time. Incredible scenes at Fort Road.

@DownToTen He is just not good enough for a lead premier league striker for a mid table team. He has poor composure, is indecisive, and has poor posistioning. Stats and maybe ifs lack importance in this case.

[Mark Ambler @markambler76]

@MonchisMen @ChrisLail @LaLigaMichael Haha. At least he left. So many expensive, high salaried average/poor/injured players are still here; Januzaj, Idrissi, Rodriguez, Mir, Torres, Jordán, Papu, Tecatito, Marcão. Selling those for any sort of money is going to be tough.

@LaLigaMichael Betis and Sevilla are two clubs travelling in very different directions at the moment

[Mark Ambler @markambler76]

@LaLigaMichael Isco will be a symbol of all that is wrong at Sevilla.

The expression “call a spade a spade” comes from the work of Plutarch, who originally wrote “call a fig a fig & a trough a trough.” Figs & troughs were crude slang for the Vulva, so what Plutarch meant was “call a c*nt a c*nt”. When Erasmus (1466-1536) translated Plutarch’s work & changed it to a garden spade to avoid embarrassment.

Southend fans are desperate to draw attention to the shambolic ownership of Ron Martin, the team are currently bottom of the National League after a 10 point deduction.

Tonight at home to Eastleigh, they’ve thrown tennis balls onto the pitch in protest.

Ange Postecoglou with his most Aussie answer to a question since becoming a Premier League manager.

@HLTCO That betting sites are still allowed to offer bets on this shit and their integral role in sport/football is part of a bigger corruption

Roony Bardghji is only 17 years old. He was born in Kuwait and moved to Sweden in 2012 as a 7-year-old. Tonight, he scored this Panenka penalty to send Copenhagen through to the Champions League play-offs.

Balls of steel.

@Bexhill_United @BexhillCollege @CrowboroughAFC My parents are trying to download their STs. the link to the QR codes don't work neither do any of the various weblinks, or the email address. They want to go to the game on Wednesday. what should they do?

[Mark Ambler @markambler76]

@HLTCO It's my McArthur highlight as well. They dicked on us all game, Cleverly got the red, we scored two and went home with their mum. An absolute scandal that still brings a smile to my face.
