@Scienceofsport Great title.

@sebastiansalek @PeterKLamb Why hasn't this been done already? Unless there's some intractable administrative difficulty, it seems like a no-brainer.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@LifeOfTy__ @AlasdairGold Alasdair's talked previously about how when Ange takes over at a club, there's always a wave of hamstring injuries before the players, coaches, and medical staff adapt. I do get the impression that this is a particular problem at Spurs not just a general trend in modern football.

@IanDunt Is this the Tory version of Margaret Beckett lending her vote to Corbyn in the Labour leadership nominations?

.@TheNewsAgents How likely is it that the next Tory leader will last until the next election? Are the Tories still capable of sticking with one leader for five years, particularly without having the task of running the country to distract them from plotting against each other?

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

Did I really just hear @jonsopel use the phrase "anonymous names" in introducing @TheNewsAgents podcast? Expect better from the wordsmith behind Strangeland.

@AlasdairGold Not sure if Fernandes committed he a red card offence, but he definitely tried to.

@AlasdairGold How did the high press work a man down?

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@RhonddaBryant Not to mention the black hole in essential services--GP appointments, care visits, police attendances, subsistence benefits, asylum claim assessments, etc., etc.--that aren't being delivered.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@AlasdairGold Is he happy with Davies/Spence/Donley(!) as cover for Udogie, or are we going to bring in a LB the second Reguilon goes out the door?

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@JamesDAustin All big improvements. Tennis can go too. Orienteering has an Olympic feel to it, suitably strong elite athletes, and has been working hard to develop TV-friendly formats. Might get considered if there's ever a Scandi host country.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@AlasdairGold Love this. Really hope Djed takes his chance. Great story of redemption. "Like a new signing", etc.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@DanNeidle Might it be possible to save a few £bn by making ISAs less generous? Perhaps a lifetime cap? Helping people save for a rainy day is one thing, but letting people with large amounts of spare cash park it outside the tax system is something else. https://t.co/0dDbfyssjB

@AlasdairGold Enjoyed this. Thanks for the update. Would love to see Spence come good and solve the full-back cover problem, which I'm still feeling twitchy about.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@AlasdairGold I get the commercial reasons for the tour, but wonder whether the conditions compromise the training. Is it possible to do optimal pre-season prep in that heat?

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@timhuggan Really thought scrapping this would be among their top priorities. How does creating a sub-class of children who aren't entitled to the same protection from poverty as other children fit within their world-view?

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@rosspb @AlasdairGold Doesn't seem likely, but I'd love to see this happen. He looked very comfortable and effective going forward in the Hearts clips.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@thfcshelfside1 @jamiecweir @jawairia_thfc Would like to see fewest penalties as the first tie-breaker.

[Tim Holt @tmholt]

@AlasdairGold A model professional. Maybe not the right player for Ange's system, but always gets on with what he's asked to do and gives everything. Hope he goes on to flourish when he leaves.
