Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

@KieranMaguire @EmlynBegley Thanks Kieran. Love your pod and Analysis. It does seem ridiculous that there’s no allowance for the money spent securing our future viability as a club. Thank god the owners seem committed to spending the money 🙏💛💙

Oxford United publish 24/25 accounts, when the club finished 17th in the Championship. The bonkers nature of football finance is that the club is being evicted from the current stadium, and the £10m spent to date on finding/building a new one is not allowed for PSR purposes. 🔑figures ⚽️Revenue £19m ⬆️125% (due to promotion and get £6.50 in broadcast money in Championship for every £1 in League One) ⚽️Wages £21.7m ⬆️92% ⚽️Wages 114% of revenue ⬇️19% ⚽️Underlying loss £16.0m ⬆️33% ⚽️Stadium development costs written off £2.6m ⚽️Player sale profits £0.1m ⬇️86% ⚽️Pre tax losses £17.5m ⬆️10% ⚽️Total losses over the years £66.9m 😲 ⚽️ Player purchases £5.9m ⚽️Player sales £0.6m ⚽️Borrowings £58.9m

I’m no rugger expert but the showboating in favour of running closer to the posts may have cost England the win and Ireland the title?? #FRAvENG #SixNations

@GeorgeDugdale Wouldn’t have taken Konak off when he did, think his influence on the midfield recently is getting over looked

Lankshear’s chance a big moment in the game. Right finish, big touch by the keeper. Aside from the penalties, the only chance either side created all day. Don’t mind the switch to a back three but had to keep a runner on either side of Prelec. #oufc

Really poor half. Look leggy as anything and second to every loose ball. Only success has been getting the ball to Mills’ feet and that’s not happened enough. Big half time for the manager. #oufc

@EmlynBegley How Emakhu survived 45 is beyond me, awful performance, and I wouldn’t have taken Konak off when he did

@HarryCallaghan_ Yeah he’s an odd choice. Doesn’t fit with the profile of the others and isn’t as relevant to the club really is he? Played more for Swindon. Odd

Ben Purkiss is the most jarring person I’ve ever had to listen to. Just wants an argument for the sake of it.

@bookiemonster81 @GeorgeElek TBH I don’t really understand why they can’t find someone more relevant to the club than Purkiss… he doesnt really fit with the others in terms of profile

No, this isn't a Black Friday Sale... Back in the 1990s, men would stand outside a Dixon's window at 4:45pm to see the football results come in.

It’s 62 years since #oufc’s most famous meeting with Blackburn. 21,700 fans squeezed into the Manor for an FA Cup 5th round tie in February 1964, as 4th-tier United claimed a shock 3-1 win over a Rovers side who were 2nd in Division 1. Some great British Pathé footage here!

@Cricket_Ali The whole non Indian cricket world is willing NZ to get this done, but it won’t happen. And cricket is broken, the BCCI owns the sport now, everyone else is a bystander. It won’t see out the decade

New Zealand probably need to get around 220/230 runs off the 16 non-Bumrah overs

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of 15-year-old Academy player, Amelia Aplin. Amelia collapsed during a Girls’ Academy game against Fulham at the Club’s Training Centre in Horspath yesterday afternoon. The thoughts and sincere condolences from everyone at Oxford United are with Amelia’s family, friends, teammates and coaches. We would like to place on record our appreciation for the efforts of the medical staff at both Oxford United and Fulham Football Club, along with the emergency services. The Club will offer support to Amelia’s family, players, coaches and staff impacted by this tragic event. We would ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time.

This is a real poor take from Harsha, I'm afraid. If every single-parent son/daughter worked six hours in India, India would be a world beater in Football. Elite sport is about investments, talent supply & infrastructure/system. It's a bit more nuanced than this stereotype.
