@IanRidley1 The FA need to give him a job. A proper one, that develops international football in this country. He gets it more than anyone else IMO

I covered #England under 10 managers, including some caretakers, very august names and figures among them. Not one of them achieved what #GarethSouthgate has, some with potentially exceptional sides in 98, 06 and 10. (Venables might have, but couldn't swallow his pride and do a Euro 96 'audition', though it was really the FA suits fault for insisting he did.) Worth remembering too, that England failed to qualify for a Euros and three World Cups in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Not only is Southgate's record of achievement quite brilliant, he did it with enlightenment, by developing and empowering young men, showcasing them as shining representatives of a diverse and - largely - tolerant nation, partly bolstering a nation's self-esteem in some dark years and ridding the national team of a world-weariness. There are those who called him woke. He certainly woke English football. The 'Dear England' letter was a masterstroke. There were mistakes, moments he missed, opportunities that slipped through his fingers. He will surely reflect on them more than anybody. They are not for today, nor does today belong to those who have been vilifying this most honourable, articulate and steadfast of men for perceived failures that really aren't. Today is for him to be assured that those who have any realistic sense of English football's history and standing, and who appreciate a return to being able to hold heads high, are humbly grateful for his eight years of inspired, yeoman service.

@anon_opin Funny in parts, unfunny in most of it

Afterlife was purely a vehicle for Gervais and the other cast to just say "cunt" over and over

#ENGSLO England planning to win this tournament by boring the shit out of everyone. #safetyfootball

@BBCSport If it isn't working, then he must make a change at halftime

No changes for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Agree with that decision? #DENENG #Euro2024

@SpursArmyTweets @FBAwayDays Especially when he's currently an extremely long way from being on fire..........

@FBAwayDays No it isn’t, it’s one of the worst things I’ve ever heard.

England’s new song is absolutely quality! 😍 “Can’t start a fire, Can’t start a fire without a spark, Phil Foden’s on Fire… He’ll be playing the Germans off the park.” Love it! 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@rickygervais Prince Charming, Adam & The Ants. I was 8 👍

No cheating - 1st Album you ever bought with your own money? Mine was “Stranded” by Roxy Music from Quicksilver Records in Reading. I was 13. I’d saved up and I remember being on the bus on the way into town clutching my 3 quid 😂

@anon_opin I was at Wembley Arena for a Simply Red concert in the early 90s. The last track of the night was Mick all on his own in the centre of the Arena. He sang Holding Back The Years. His guitar amp packed up, so he sung it acapella without missing a beat. Privileged to have witness it

Mick Hucknall and Adele are the best live singers ever. There's no argument here. You cannot tell the difference between their recorded or live performances.

@ilovenostalgia Where's the record player???

Would you have this in your home?

@ATRightMovies I doubt he'd ever describe himself as a celebrity but Andrew Weatherall was a fucking shit feeling....

What celebrity death hit you the hardest?

@NoContextBrits One of my locals is charging £19 for ham, egg and chips. Ban that for starters

What should be banned from pubs?

@TheBoySeggy The offside rule was created to stop goal hanging. This isn't goal hanging. 👎

Should’ve been one of the greatest moments in FA cup history, but some bloke sat in a booth near the M4 with a fancy protractor said nah, your big toe is too big. Fcuk VAR & everyone who thinks it’s been good for this game #FaCup

@StevenLRidge @WarrenAJB Share the love 🙏

@djhistory @lowy72 The most irritating thing about M&S is their mens leg length. 33 leg?? Everywhere else does a 34 leg. I can't wear 33, so I'm out.....

@lowy72 Love that shop. It’s what M&S should be but has miserably failed.

So, clothes nonces, anybody wear Uniqlo tackle? Just bought a very nice overshirt. Seems too good to be true for the price

@memorialdevice Thank god for Techno

Struggling to think of any song in the past 30 years, any genre, as bad as Wonderwall.

@BurryFeasht It's boring. I can't stay awake watching it. Sorry.....

@britcultarchive The country still voted the Torys in for another 7 years. We don't learn 🫨

Best song by Talking Heads?

What is your favourite scene where someone eats?
