@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne @BBCSounds Away from the action on the pitch, can we get some praise for Robyn and Rachel and the great job they're doing on comms, a day after getting through the England game that went deep into the night for them? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #BBCFootball

It's the favourites vs the hosts in this third Women's Euro 2025 quarter-final! 🇪🇸 v 🇨🇭 Spain won all their Group B games in some style, while the Swiss booked their spot on goal difference. 📱🎧🖥 Live @BBCiPlayer, @BBCOne, @BBCSounds & @BBCSport app. #WEuro2025 #BBCFootball

@danielstorey85 Is it weird that I've heard you on so many football podcasts over the years that I feel slightly offended, on your behalf, that a friend has just referred to you as "that guy" (talking to Adrian Chiles) in a group chat message? 😅

Someone has been out in the sun too much! Has he seen United over the last few seasons? It's an absolute shitshow, and not a step up from Brentford. Complete sideways move for him imo.

If Hakimi scores again, and doesn't celebrate again, would that make it a numb-encore? #UCLfinal | #PSGINT

@FootballCliches Understandable!

@KingSi We filed this under "just too baffling to discuss"

@FootballCliches "Ian Rush has put his name to a 90-minute, score-settling, AI musical in the style of Hamilton about his legal battle against a Surrey scaffolding company and a small Wigan law firm" - theuglygame.wordpress.com/2025/05/21/the…

@FootballCliches @CDEccleshare @D_C_W Corrections adjacent, a few months ago the ad question was about '1-word' stadiums. How was that worded? Because I heard a lot of talk about the final game 'at Goodison', & not a lot of 'Goodison Park' this week, but was shot down by many for saying this 1 word was common usage.

Recording FOOTBALL CLICHES with @CDEccleshare & @D_C_W on Wednesday... Let's have your quality questions & obscure observations, about the language of football or beyond, for a midweek Adjudication Panel. (Also corrections, had some cracking corrections recently.) Cheers!

Anyone know if Serena Williams is at this game? #CHEMUN | #AdobeWomensFACup

They should call it the European Strobe Competition this year. #Eurovision #BBCEurovision

I don't like them abbreviating the name of the show to "the ESC" 👎🏻 #Eurovision #BBCEurovision

Not surprised Switzerland can do a decent flag parade. One of the best things about the country is their flag; it's a big plus! #Eurovision #BBCEurovision

Why does that handball incident need to be DOGSO? It doesn't matter if it was a scoring opp or not, it was a handball!? If the ball bounces through to him, nobody around him, & he grabs it outside the box it's an infringement. Haaland's pressure is irrelevant? #EmiratesFACup

If he/she is the top captain picker, just how am I supposed to top it?

@FPLGeneral @59thMinutePod The top 3 of my ML are separated by 8pts! ... Unfortunately, I'm 60pts behind them! 😅 So, with nothing to play for, are there any ultra low owned players you've noticed regularly popping up in the FFScout stats who look due two 30pt hauls? Or just a generally fun pick for 2wks?

Send in your Qs for the Gw37 Preview Podcast ❔️❔️❔️ @59thMinutePod 🎙 #FPL

"Number 4." "Number 4... that's Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. Served as Camerlengo from 2007 to 2014, of course..." "Number 117." "...and he will play number 117, that's Cardinal Andrew Yeom Soo-jung, the former chairman of the Catholic Peace Broadcasting Corporation (CPBC)."

Just utterly heartbreaking! "The F.A. For All", their tagline, should mean exactly that. Why do we always have to start from the point of exclusion? Sport has so much power to break down barriers and tackle social issues. Everyone should have access to the enjoyment playing sport and football brings, particularly at a grassroots level, no matter their identity.

@FootballCliches @CDEccleshare @D_C_W Can anyone beat the "niche reference + player name pun" combo I've used for my FPL team name this season? 😅
