@SteveBowercomm Remember the samba party by the lagoon?

Goodness me Ando there’s a few memories in there mate!!!

Look where I was last night.

My early prediction for the 2026-27 @EFL season, @WatfordFC to finish 9th.

@johncrossmirror A great character and a font of dry wit. I'll never forget his succint appraisal of England's opening defeat by Portugal at Euro 2000: "it was like a pantomine horse....but with only the front legs".

Giancarlo Galavotti was one of life’s great characters. He spent many years covering England for Gazzetta and was such a familiar face in English football. He had so many friends among us. RIP Giancarlo. Gone but not forgotten. Much love ❤️ gazzetta.it/Calcio/Premier…

@stuartpykesport @OfficialOAFC I remember seeing you at that one. I arrived 15 minutes after KO following train nightmare but didn't miss a goal. Le Tiss hat trick to no avail.

On commentary. My last ever game on Piccadilly Radio. Injury time. My line “Blow the whistle Mr King” Howard King was the ref. Fitting finale after five magical years on the @OfficialOAFC + Joe Royle “Pinch me Seasons”! 😎

@fredfertang I saw him put one onto the railway line while playing for Worcestershire against Surrey at Woodbridge Road in the 1980s.

His 86 from 66 deliveries changed the course of the 1979 World Cup final, but Collis King never made another half century in an ODI

@androofrench I was listening to Radio 2 on the car radio parked in Portsmouth town centre and heard the update. My first reaction was that the reporter must have got the wrong name.

Look who scored for #watfordfc 42 years ago today!

@adrianjclarke Same old Arsenal, always cheating.

It is 30 years ago today (!) that I made my first start for the Arsenal. Won 3-0 at home to QPR. Was a magical day when my dreams came true. Still dining out on it tbf! 😂 Found a few old pics, including one of me being wiped out/diving 😍

@Hutchywutch We call Screech Todd Flanders.

After Screech Powers from “Saved By The Bell” scored his inevitable goal against us on Saturday…I’m lumping all my winnings on Barry Bannan giving Wendy the lead tonight with a curling free kick top corner after a completely unnecessary foul 25 yards from goal. You’re welcome.

@Adam_Drury1 Magnificent. And with former Hornet Darren Bazeley, now NZ manager, looking on.

More Nestory Irankunda nonsense 📺 watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/25451608… #Watfordfc

This simply must be heard at The Vic soon. Have shown it to a mate who covers Australian sport in the UK and he wants to use it in a piece.

@JacquiOatley @AlexGreenwood Her penalty, though not much discussed, was an absolutely vital one, after Patri had put Spain into an early lead in the shootout. Steadied the ship.

.@AlexGreenwood deserves so much credit. Just before last Euros, lost place due to positional change. Got on with it. This Euros, she worked so hard to get back from serious knee injury in Dec, was moved to left back after first game, was excellent the whole Euros. Superstar 🌟

@IanRidley1 A better tournament manager than Southgate and superior to Capello, Hodgson, Keegan, McLaren and Taylor IMHO.

@GreatFaceRadio Wiegman’s good, no doubt, but a bit harsh on Southgate - if not most of the others.

Spent my footballing life watching German men's teams do this sort of thing. Good to see England's women exhibiting such mental strength and physical perseverance. Again. #EuropeanChampions #ENGESP #Proper

#Lionesses seem to be better managed, more motivated and possess far greater resilience than their #ENG male counterparts. They also seem to enjoy everything a lot more.

@scottjfield If you need shelter and a beer, there's a great bar called Kubryk a short walk from the town centre.

@ClassicshirtCDF None of the above. But I did have a drink with Kerry King once in a hotel bar in Montreal and he was a very nice chap.

Right. Back in work. Let’s have a good week. What’s everyone got on? Anyone going to oasis? Slayer? Alanis?

@fredfertang @WG_RumblePants I was there with Katie. If only we'd known.....

Interesting day at the Oval - I saw one Dominic Sibley bat for two sessions and then a different one for the last session - also managed to meet that @WG_RumblePants fellow!

@johncrossmirror Nice music reference, Crossy.

Chelsea in Charlotte (sometimes)

@tonyjonescomm @HomeOfCricket @ICC @OfficialProteas @CricketAus Yes. Should be fun and the weather looks good too. Shame you're not there, it would have been nice to have a beer.

@GreatFaceRadio @HomeOfCricket @ICC @OfficialProteas @CricketAus No John, nothing available it seems either. Good day if you have tickets. Saturday might be stretching it!

Two great days @HomeOfCricket for @ICC World Test Champs @OfficialProteas @CricketAus All to play for tomorrow. Watching it, just unfathomble why test cricket is being pushed to the margins of the season 🤷🏻‍♂️ #RSAAUS
