@Mike_Batt Underground, overground eh Mike?

Tonight from near Southfields tube station. 🤩

Daily Mail Group agrees to buy Telegraph. Flashes & Flames deepdive on how, what and when. go.shr.lc/4rnsB3l

@robawhite Yes, we might just look back at Levy in 18 months and wonder if...

FWIW my opinion is "Be careful what you wish for" suggests it is safer to want nothing than to risk the supposed negative consequences of a fulfilled desire. This line of thinking can lead to stagnation, discouraging people from setting bold goals and pursuing their dreams...

@AasmahMir Lovely, Aasmah.

My dad is NINETY today. I called him and he told me he was really proud of my Higher Results in 1988 and that he had to milk buffaloes when he was a kid and then he started crying. This happens every year ❤️

How Meredith 'saved' Dotdash. People Inc is so much more than a name change. What's next? go.shr.lc/4lg6fMJ

@darrenyarlett Yes, so great.

The greatest partnership the PL has ever seen 💙💙

@dannykellywords Yes!!!

The greatness of a player is not measured in stats or trophies. It's measured by the indelible mark they leave in the memories of their club's supporters. By that rule, Son is a modern legend, a Spurs great forever. Farewell, you wonderful man.

@henrywinter Yes, Sonny has been a true Tottenham great. Missing him already.

Son Heung-min leaves Tottenham Hotspur as a winner, as a club legend. Bilbao will never be forgotten. Son’s a bona fide Spurs great for the goals, assists and skills, for the commitment, leadership and for that European trophy. For the smiles, too. Son brought so much joy to Spurs fans with the way he played and with his sunny demeanour. He brought so much to the Premier League.  Right decision to leave, Son’s 33 and slowing but inevitably a hugely emotional decision. Son’s been at Spurs a decade, 173 goals in 454 appearances and that record-making, goalscoring partnership with Harry Kane. Son was creator and finisher, at his best unstoppable as he darted in from the left, all balance, burst of pace and touch taking him past defenders, opening up the shooting opportunity. Opponents knew what was coming but too often, too quickly Son was upon them and past them. He was also tough and, as a few full-backs discovered, could look after himself.  Son leaves so many memories: that solo goal against Chelsea in 2018; that virtuoso goal against Burnley in 2019, beating seven players (voted Match of the Day’s Goal of the season and FIFA Puskas award); and so determined he played with a fracture to his arm and still scored twice against Villa in 2020. Son scored four goals in one game against Southampton and twice in a 6-1 rout of United at Old Trafford, both in 2020. He celebrated a century of PL goals in trademark style against Brighton in 2023, cutting in from the left and rifling a shot in; even scoring direct from a corner against United in 2024.  Accolades include PL Team of the Year 20/21, PL Golden Boot winner 21/22, three-time Spurs Player of the Season, and, most memorably, Europa League-winning captain. Good luck to Son in his next adventure, in MLS or wherever. #THFC

@SethAbramson Free?

Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein. Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is. wsj.com/politics/trump…

@Mike_Batt Let Wellington have them!

The bad news: I lost my £500 Boots Armani frame prescription sunglasses. The good news: the new ones only cost me £400. the bad news: I hate the new ones. The good news: 2 weeks later, I have found the original ones. The bad news: that’s £900 quid on sunglasses. 😎 😱

@Mike_Batt You're a true musical polymath really...

@ColinMorrisonUK I am often alarmed that anyone would be surprised that a “Womble” could do other things! But thanks. 🙂

Posting in tribute to Brian Wilson - a track recorded 35 years ago by Justin Hayward with me and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. youtube.com/watch?v=O846Gh… (He sings lead, I arrange/conduct/sing backing vocals). One of Brian's most beautiful songs. We recorded at Abbey Road Studio 1. @haywardmusic @Boomradio @BBCRadio2 @Republic_Media

@joannamont As cool as £12.99 can make you...

How cool am I? (Don’t answer that pls)

@JustinCochrane8 @SpursOfficial Welcome home!

Well what can I say, back to where I started in 2009. I’m delighted to be joining @SpursOfficial. I can’t wait to get started. The club gave me my 1st job and now after 16 years of working very hard, getting qualified and making an impact wherever I’ve been. I’m back. LETS GO!⚽️
