“I’m sorry but I think the idea that City are like Emmeline Pankhurst is beyond ridiculous” is sensational work @JayMotty. 😂

My answer to this question will always be this from Darren Ambrose against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Could not believe my eyes.

Interviewing players and managers at half-time is pointless. Absolutely zero insight will ever be given in them. Put it in the bin.

“That was just me joking about.”

Yeah, not like your job was to officiate games properly. Mike Dean has said stuff like this before, Clattenburg has openly talked about letting teams self-destruct too. They seem to think it makes them sound like lads. Baffling mentality.

Ironically, numerous Palace fans will likely be using their exact service to stream the team’s 3pm kick-offs.

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

It’s happened again.

Paddy’s had him on toast. 😂

The office of Prime Minister is up there with Watford for job turnover in the last few years.

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

That man saw that train pull in and let out the biggest “For fucks sake!” of his life. 😂

Adam Wharton including this on his own Instagram post having scored his first goal for Palace. 😂

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

Every single club should have a die-hard fan on their in-house commentary. Forget professionalism, I want to hear someone losing their mind just like all of us do when a big goal goes in. It’s the only way it should be.

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

I know it’s coming every time. I crack up every time.

I’m convinced that if Sky Sports News actually showed a desire to inform by providing proper reporting, genuine investigation and insightful guests who were afforded time to speak without being spoken over, they could, at the very least be a respected and profitable organisation in a social media driven world.

Football fans don’t need to be spoken down to, we don’t need talking heads providing hot-takes and shouting down those who they don’t agree with. I for one would value guests who actually understand the clubs and leagues they’re discussing beyond the basic stereotypes; the market for content that isn’t a “Combined XI” or a polarising head to head shouting match that’s easily clippable may not be immediately evident but a long-term effort to go down that route would likely pay dividends eventually.

You only need to look at @TifoFootball_ or @HITCSevens to know that the audience is there and can be supercharged quickly if it’s regular and well produced, given the brand recognition that Sky Sports News has by virtue of its long-term presence within the football landscape in this country. There are millions of football fans, the vast majority of whom aren’t idiots, we want to learn about the game; I used to have Sky Sports News on throughout the day as background noise, I can’t remember the last time I even thought to turn it on. Could I be persuaded to go back to that? Absolutely but the current stuff being served up on the there just feels like fast food for the football world and I think it’s a tremendous shame.

Middlesbrough were founded 149 years ago, are the 11th oldest club in English football, have played more than 2,400 games in the top tier of the English game (the 19th most in the whole of the pyramid) and have an average attendance well in excess of 20,000 since WWII.

There’s more to size than the last 10 years.

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

None of them. Every single one is better than the current version at each club in my view.

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

The replies to this are an absolute goldmine. 😂

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

Incredible scenes.

None of them even needed a beer to kick off. That’s proper hatred.
