Overturn this. 🧏‍♂️ #USABEL

This is mad - tunnel to bury a railway track on flat ground largely through fields. We have completely lost the plot in this country. Who allowed this to happen?

The Nelson of all Nelsons. #EngvAus

No complaints here. Fella had it all 😎👊

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.

Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.

All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.

Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️

Harry Brook ready to lead England in all three formats. That's nightclubs, beaches, and police stations.

“I don’t believe in climate change.”

Bro, it’s not the Tooth Fairy. It’s science. You either understand climate change or you don’t. It has nothing to do with your beliefs.

Director of Cricket - Alec Stewart
Head Coach - Andy Flower
Test Captain - Joe Root
White ball captain - Jacob Bethell (I think he’s a future Test captain)
Tell Harry Brook to grow up and concentrate on his game. He should bat at 3 and Bethell 6.
Rehan has to come in.
Foakes back as keeper and don’t drop him if he doesn’t score consistently all the time. Catches win matches and good keeping encourages bowlers.
And appoint a fresh coaching staff who are not all the mates of…
I love Trescothick but cannot see what he’s added.
Jeetan Patel has not improved a single English spinner.

Sorry this just makes me angry!!

As a teacher, this is what I want to say to SOME parents:

Stop making excuses for your kids. STOP IT. Teach them to earn things, not demand things. Hold them to a higher standard. Challenge them. That way, when I try to challenge them, they’ll know we both expect it.

Elliot Anderson's deal at £116m puts him 31st in the all time Premier League inflation adjusted transfer fee list, now updated for 2026/27 prices.

[Tony Harwood @sciantificnew]

The 'we didn't have it when we were at school' is probably the laziest argument out there for not putting children's wellbeing first.

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast.

The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it.

There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️

It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER!

At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations.

He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously.

Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

Messi’s scoring 12 (!!!!) World Cup goals after turning 35 is probably one of the most jaw dropping stats I’ve ever come across in my life.

[Keith Burge @carryonkeith]

Rather than a General Election, I think I'd favour a full investigation into Nigel Farage's finances.

[Out of Context Football Manager @nocontextfm1]

The payoff for this one is incredible. Just waited until the end and burst into laughter... 😭

💦 Marcelo Bielsa speaking 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦 about the hydration breaks:

🗣️ Bielsa: "Playing matches in four quarters instead of two halves completely changes that cultural understanding we have of football."

This change of culture does ⁠not add anything and takes away a lot. I will just say that before this decision, football had ​a characteristic, now it has another.

People fall in love with the game because of its characteristics. Of course technology ​like VAR, we commend it and value it.

Technology offers more opportunities. There is another intention for the breaks and the conclusions I'm making here are not really my own. I also echo what I hear as well."
