@henrywinter He should realise by now, most of us have seen the Soprano's.

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@henrywinter Agreed. Commercial destruction of the game. It's only a matter of time before ad breaks at a VAR check.

Plus, the players get constant hydration breaks if they want them during a game already, running over to grab a drinks bottle if they wish whenever there's a break in play.

@TheSpursExpress @SamiMokbel_BBC Growing in confidence

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@WG_RumblePants How about @andyburnham ? He seems to solving everything, at the moment?

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@FabrizioRomano But it's ok. They're over it

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@Daily_Hotspur @sportmediaset Reached agreement FC

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@WG_RumblePants Last 12 matches under Stokes.

P12. W5. D1. L6.

Stokes: 539 runs in 21 innings. Av 26.95.

The team isn't performing. He isn't performing. When the rose eyes fade, this is overdue. He always talks about loving the game. But Tests? I'm not so sure. Others should follow.

@OllieHolt22 They've really messed it up. Pricing and pre game atmosphere. I've been there for NFL games...and concerts...it's brilliant. Tailgate BBQ, great vibe. Such a shame

@JeremyClarkson @sniffpetrol "unacceptable smell, hence..." Genius..

@Daily_Hotspur @AlfredoPedulla The heat is getting to me. For a moment, I thought I read Spurs had offered £100m. But I know, they're not that mental. Right?

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@MrJamesMay @ChristopherLCyr I worry about some of the human race, sometimes

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@MrJamesMay World class

@Daily_Hotspur @samuelluckhurst Please don't

@JeremyClarkson @RealHawkstone ad?

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@RudolphN17 Tonali, Gallagher, Fernandes does like a decent midfield to be fair.

As does Gray, Bentancur, Maddison

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is

Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?

And somehow that is the whole point

I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it

From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again

When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak

The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them

But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus

Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it

A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it

And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care

And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off

He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard

That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show

We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product

That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was

And that is exactly why we keep watching

Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!

@Daily_Hotspur Yes

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@rioferdy5 Stones looks like a man who hasn't played any football for 9 months.

[Rob Jane @robjtweets]

@TalkingTHFC No way. One is a proven Premier League centre back. The other, isn't.
