@MerseyFire, thank you so much to the team (especially Tony) at Heswall Fire Station, who made my little boy's day today by letting him explore the station and explore the fire engine. #inspiringfuturegenerations

So, in a Premier League calendar year where Arsenal were supposedly great and Liverpool were below par, they have ended up finishing 2023 like this:

Arsenal - 81 points from 42 games

Liverpool - 81 points from 41 games

There are levels to this...

Thank you for everything Jordan Henderson. As a supporter of Liverpool all you ask is that a player gives his all. Jordan Henderson gave his all, all of the time. He battled through difficult times where he was once offered as a part of a deal for Clint Dempsey. Some questioned if he would make it at Liverpool FC at all. Instead of just 'making it', he became one of the most successful captains in the club's history. He drove the team around the pitch time after time, squeezing out an extra 1% from players at difficult times when needed. Important goals, important moments but some difficult moments too. Personally, some of my own greatest days have come from watching the Reds. Jordan Henderson played a major role in those great days. I want to thank him personally for that. @JHenderson

@GillianKeegan After numerous complaints about the reading paper being too hard, you lot said that it wasn't; You then went on to bring the pass mark down, and quite drastically. Yet again just proving how little the you all know what you're doing.

So far this Ashes, the total scores are:

Australia 1,850 for 58
England 1,809 for 55

After 943.4 overs, there are just 49 runs between the sides.

Good grief what a series.

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

@AndyCross800 @JacobsBen Even then I think that might be pushing it. We've made our one signing for the next few years. Don't be greedy!

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

@leedsio We gave 23 runs away in 'no balls' across both innings. One bowled Khawaja on 112. He went on to get 141. There's 29 free runs. Missed stumping of Green when we was on 0; he went on to get 38. Add it all up & there's 90 extra runs. The declaration set us up the chance to win.

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

We didn't lose because of the declaration; We didn't lose because of Bazball.

It was the basic errors that cost us: dropped catches, missed chances and too many extras (no balls especially). That isn't 'Bazball'

@Rankles75 Like I said, it wasn't the declaration: I agree with you!

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

We are double world champions in the white ball format. We would be daft not use that to our advantage with the red ball. The management group recognise that and what a treat we are in for if the last 5 days are to go by.

It's a process. It'll work. It's bloody brilliant.

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

Well that was simply brilliant. Enthralling; pulsating; nerve wrecking and gutting. Completley captivating.

There is nothing in this world that can take you on an emotional ride like live, pure top-quality sport. That is why we love it.

Failing that, as no doubt you're all too busy deciding how you're next going to damage our teachers' and childrens' mental health and well being, you should just sit the #sats2023 paper.

Don't worry though - it won't have any impact on you; only the people who have taught you...

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

Doesn't this just sum our government up!?

I'd love to know how many of the 'DFE' have any experience at all within a school setting, let alone as a class teacher because @GillianKeegan, as the Secretary of State for Education certainly doesn't.

[Rich Leeman @richleeman]

@GillianKeegan my challenge to you is for you and your 'department of experts in education' to enter a classroom and 'teach' our children so they can achieve (at least) the 'expected standard' that you and your department set under the same pressure that you also set. #clueless
