@thetimes I don’t know what my old nan and gramp would’ve thought about this……council house all their lives, worked hard, brought up 4 top kids, lived through 2 WWs….bedrock of the values I live my life to. Proud folk❤️

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

@ManUtd What a fucking embarrassment! Not worthy, so many legends before you. No passion and run like Birmingham City Council! Think of all those staff who were made redundant😡 So angry

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

@ManUtd fucking abysmal, why is Tom Heaton not in goal!?

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

@TommyFleetwood1 @JustinRose99 Sod these smaller tournies, just win the bloody thing outright Tom…..FedEx champ 2025. Go big fella!

England’s thrilling victory over India after five days of ebb and flow at Headingley showed us the special joy of the longer form of the game

@glennmcgrath11 booked tickets to Pink Test 2026, first visit to Oz, poignant as like yourselves we lost our beloved Kim (wife, mum, daughter) in January this year. Breast cancer, moving to bones and brain😢 Looking forward to supporting the McGrath Foundation❤️

@kingsdowngolf thanks for a pleasant afternoon ‘on the cliffs’ yesterday❤️ On to @Princesgolfclub today ⛳️

@ManUtd I’m 54 years old, I grew up with the history of Newton Heath, Busby Babes, Munich and 1968…..70s and 80s we played attractive football inconsistently, then the Fergie years and a Euro Cup again❤️ Can we please have a performance vs Villa befitting of that history🙏🏼

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

@stewkleycricket fantastic weather for SVCC Women’s first home Super 8 fixture, closely contested games against the might of @CheshamCricket and @HighWycombeCC1 delivered a first hardball win for the team🤩

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

@ManUtd that was unbelievably poor this evening. 2 nil up and unable to defend that lead……absolute bollocks

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

WTF is this idiot on!? This will come back to bite the backside of Middle America🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/z0xakLJRwG

We will always remember them.

@thetimes @gilescoren I lost my wife to cancer last week, 54yo….the disease is a life wrecker if allowed to grow. All the best @gilescoren with the ‘journey’, your column made me chuckle this morning❤️🙏🏼

@AndrewCarter21 Will toast you with a pint of Landlord, well done A Go well!

Are Labour going to improve the onboard WiFi for those working people who have sloped off early to stay online?

[Alan Hardings @ploppers1970]

@LNRailway yet another stopping train being cancelled from Euston due to shortage of train crew…….despite Labour’s pay deal without any productivity improvements 🌹👍 Glad I’m now only doing 1 day a week
