@FootballCliches ‘Happy Easter’, I mutter to myself in fury and fear as I mis-remember the year of *that goal* by Maynor Figueroa at the Britannia by approx seven (7) seasons, crash out at level 3, and the passage of time slips through my fingers with tremendous pace. Love HHG.

@NickAmes82 @twtduk Terrific piece, Nick. A hugely disappointing situation, and the management of the issue hasn’t reflected well on the club at all - either its morals or its aptitude.

Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: theguardian.com/football/2026/… #ITFC

The somewhat unapologetic statement from @IpswichTown implies they did have prior knowledge of Farage’s visit - as does the printed shirt, photography and Reform UK social posting. They briefed otherwise earlier. I would like the club to confirm whether they did know in advance.

Huge year for women's cricket in England and Wales. Come and be a big part of it. ➡️app.beapplied.com/apply/9jqkkgep…

@FootballCliches Justice for Kilbane

Most equally Sunderlandy and Evertony player? Paul Bracewell just edges Jordan Pickford but don't sleep on Bryan Oviedo

@RetroITFC This commentator from this game was a real stand out on the season review VHS. Sounds so sad to be there.

On this day in 1998, DJ then heads Town into a 2-0 lead... #itfc

@Steve_Fletcher Cricket’s loss, Fletch.

Today, Middlesex Cricket announced that I have informed them of my decision to leave the Club at the end of the season after 18 years! A tough decision, but it’s time for the next chapter. Thanks to those who've made my time at the Club so special. News ➡️bit.ly/4lFh6Ae

@NickMiller79 Less of this please. Leave us be.

10.2% for Leeds & Sunderland.

Sunderland already have 5% of the points all three promoted teams won in the whole of last season.

@Vitu_E It was the one thing he didn’t want to happen

@HMLCowen He said he didn’t like it, but he had to go along with it

@voigthill Now there’s a dinner party

@HMLCowen 20th! Fourth among England internationals (Bashir, Udal, Giles)

I will genuinely give a real actual prize to whoever can name the player with the highest average release height in the CricViz database (2.548 metres, 9.8cm clear of second)

@Keir_Starmer @AngelaRayner You care more about winning votes and the concept of power than you do about actually using your position to make people’s lives better.

Most Prime Ministers would respond to these local elections with the same old excuses. My response is simple: I get it. We’re moving in the right direction, but people must feel the benefits of change. I will go further and faster to make that happen. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

I’m desperately sad today. I’ll never stop fighting for a sport that really truly is for everyone 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏏

@jessyjph Fantastic! Coming to do some cricket?

🚨 Comunicado oficial 🚨 After a wonderful two years at The Athletic, I’m excited to announce I’m joining The Observer as a Sports Reporter. Looking forward to diving in 🥳

Heather is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever worked with. So hard-working, so selfless; always wholly committed to driving her team forward. A fantastic leader, and a fantastic human. Very glad it’s not the end yet, looking forward to seeing runs from within the ranks.

If you like women's sport then please watch: ecb.co.uk/video/4226759/… I don't think we do enough to celebrate the women who did it all before the investment, the crowds and the profile. The hurdles were even bigger, but they laid the foundations for the sports we see today.

Ahead of International Women's Day, we asked four former and current England Women's cricketers to discuss how much the game has changed and to reflect on their own journey in the sport.

The actions of Mapi León prove women’s football is failing its Black players.

so I wrote about why I no longer want to be a sports journalist. I have been contemplating writing this for a while now and finally found the courage to do so. Hope this speaks to those working in the sports journalism/media industry. Any interaction is appreciated. Link below.
