Digital news stuff. Ex-Head of Social @DailyMirror. All views on West Ham, county cricket and the Red Sox very much my own.

@werter34r @tylermilliken_ If they can find an opener who can actually do the job

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

@WHUFC_News @ollieG8 They haven’t said that. They’ve said he’s “verbally agreed it”, which I’m sure was being said months ago. Not really sure why it’s been rehashed today. I don’t see it happening

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

@tylermilliken_ @ChrisCotillo Love the Red Sox tradition of saying someone is “day to day” before the inevitable IL stint

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

@The_Grumbler From 104/0 after 10 overs to what they ended up with was the downfall I think, no one had the ability to kick on in the second half apart from Benkenstein

Fascinated by Premier Inn persistently trying to feed me this Facebook ad for a hotel lobby with the most insane seating plan

Desperately trying to play with my TV picture settings to mitigate this blue v blue kit clash in the FA Cup final

Ref blowing the whistle early because of a Celtic pitch invasion? Sounds like grounds for a forfeit to me…

Feel like Labour has suffered from this problem for years. The idea from some of their activists that they’re just entitled to the non-right wing vote. Be better and earn that vote.

@AyoCaesar Vote Green, Get a Reform government 🤷🏻‍♂️

@tylermilliken_ Why would they not play Masa today of all days?

@daisycutterzine Streets won't forget

Will never not enjoy the fact the horse racing is on the TV in the background, meaning it’s probably about 3 in the afternoon

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

West Ham can definitely say they didn’t have rub of the green with woodwork and marginal decisions today, but the performance is probably a vindication of the way we’re normally far more cautious and boring under Nuno. The game was far more open today and Brentford took advantage

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

The siege mentality sportspeople manage to create for themselves always makes me laugh. Ipswich's Dara O'Shea being interviewed right now saying "no one wanted us" to get promoted at the start of the season. They're probably one of the most likeable teams in general for neutrals.

@legsidelizzy In the context of that article about the FT and the NUJ you’re referencing, ‘journalists’ would encompass all pretty much all editorial staff

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

@0TRO_WHU Doing a batshit experiment with inverted full backs in two of our most winnable games of the season was certainly a decision

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

@Mendelpol Yeah, huge Streisand effect. A complete non-issue for them if they’d just ignored it.

[Matt Porter @mattjp]

Quite a hilarious disconnect here between being a large enough organisation that they presumably have some professional help managing their channels, versus what the demographic of people who spend their money with them travelling the world watching England actually think
