My word, unbelievably fickle. Sunderland is on the up and has been rising in the last few years and that’s about to be pissed down a hole. First time in years we are being properly invested in and that’s more than likely all going to be cut now.

@Boro_Breakdown Make them play in Portsmouth shirts.

@goodreads Technically your floor is one big room-size shelf.

@marmite I'm not hungry I'm just disappointed.

If you are not a multimillionaire like Nigel Farage, you should be very afraid of Reform ever getting power, as they do not believe in a national health service. Like the USA, where people have to go bankrupt if they get cancer. #ReformUK

@untypicalboro Given that our only top-four finishes were 1914 and 1939, this checks out.

22 years ago I went to see Newcastle play Barcelona - and why not, eh? After all, what chance would I have to see some of those Barça greats - like Valdés, Reiziger, Rochemback or Mendieta - in the northeast again?
No chance at all. No way.

@FireyRoxy No idea why lighting designers do that. More and more common at gigs.

Worth noting that if the Govt presses ahead with Committee, Report & 3rd Reading next Wednesday (9 July) then Government amendments to the Bill must be tabled by the rise of the House tomorrow (2 July).

England problem isn’t a tactical or managerial issues as has been proved over the 20+ years.

The modern day English player is a multi milllionare by 20. Soft, made it, never struggled like many other players from around the world.

Always out run, always out fought. #ENGSEN

Yep, typical Friday for me at work.

Twitter's AI offering to answer questions about Gene Hackman's death despite no info being public yet. Stay classy, Elon.

[Dara Ó Briain @daraobriain]

Ah, Gene Hackman. The finest screen actor ever, I think. Not a single duff performance, in a long, long career. And the best delivery ever of a single word: when he says “Cigars!” In Young Frankenstein.
