New data confirms Earth’s third-warmest year on record.

So, 2025 adds another dark red stripe to the climate stripes. Created by Professor Ed Hawkins, the new stripes reflect a century of climate science and provide a clear call for climate action.

Cricket is, by far, the best spectator sport. It's basically just a beer garden with sport happening somewhere in the background. Watch, don't watch, have a stroll around, eat, talk, it doesn't matter. A brilliant day out.

@YazmineDelarose Amazing idea 💡

[Strats @stratsislaw]

@ElmParkRoyals Wow, that’s prompted a few memories!!

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

🗣️ Bayern CEO Karl–Heinz Rummenigge on players complaining about the packed football calendar:

“I get why they’re frustrated — but players and their agents have played a part in this. By constantly demanding higher wages, they’ve pushed clubs to chase bigger revenues. And where does that money come from? More matches.

That’s why I believe it’s time for everyone involved to come together and have a calm, rational conversation about how we can bring the game — and the business behind it — back to more balanced and sensible times.” ⚠️

@james_e1871 Not a fan of players returning, so I say no.

My son reckons he’d be great in L1 and says yes!

Let’s get him in so we can see who is right 🤣

[Strats @stratsislaw]

@Readingfanman Exactly, I don’t give a kit what it’s like, we’re lucky to have a club. If I don’t like it, I won’t buy it, end of. I’m waiting for the official release before making a judgement.

[Reading FC Women @ReadingFCWomen]

Former Royal, Mary Earps, has officially announced her retirement from international football.

Mary pulled on the keeper’s shirt for us during our WSL campaigns from 2016 to 2018.

She made a total of 37 appearances for the Royals under former manager Kelly Chambers.

Thank you and good luck for the future 💙 #readingfc

@ElmParkRoyals @waitrose Now I’ve seen the footage of you outside Waitrose I can truly start to believe it’s actually happened 🤣🍻

Finally….

@HuangKad I should imagine they’ve asked at a few clubs 🤷‍♂️

[Strats @stratsislaw]

@james_e1871 All my mates were there, the match was so tense, would we do it? Would we have to wait? Then cue the Doyle knee slide, coats being thrown, mayhem. Great days, unbelievable season.

[Strats @stratsislaw]

@Houlton11 Can we join the French league to have a few new away days?

[EPR @ElmParkRoyals]

I love this squad of players. For years we’ve had players who don’t give a damn and just take the wages and move on with no real care for the club.

This lot have saved us from relegation last season after big points deductions.

Now we’re be chasing the play offs despite losing our best striker and multiple key injuries to big players.

Other clubs in this league would love to have such a committed group, so let’s get behind them as they deserve our support

[Sell Before We Dai @SellBeforeWeDai]

This club has a huge amount of potential and is still alive despite Dai Yongge’s negligence.

It’ll take some work to rebuild the club, but it’s a worthwhile investment for any credible buyer and we can only hope a takeover is close.

As one fanbase, we keep pushing!
