@piersmorgan You have to admit Piers Man City play the more entertaining football.

Wow.. a lot of Arsenal hater tears in London today!

@henrywinter Obvious easy to pick a 55 than a 26 my heart goes out to those players who have picked up injuries just before picking up plain tickets.

Phil Foden back in business, two assists already, form temporary, class permanent etc. Great news for Manchester City. And England. Thomas Tuchel finalising his 26-man squad. He has others of Foden’s profile, at 10 or drifting off flank. But depth of options always welcome. #MCICRY

Can you see Wes Streeting as Labour Prime Minister not sure about that but Andy Burnham probably yes but he has a lot of hurdles to negotiate.In these unsettling times the last thing anyone really needs is a Leadership battle but it looks like we might be in for one.

@KayBurley He hasn't gone yet he still has his supporters is Wes Streeting for or against.

I have never been a fan of Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. Top politicians need to realise it’s not just the message, but how you sell it that cuts through to the public psyche. His policies may well have been among the best for the country and some undoubtedly were but Sir Keir never seemed able to land them with the public. Voters rarely reward policies they don’t emotionally connect with. Yesterday’s reset speech didn’t help. What exactly was he trying to tell us. Now, in what could be the death throes of his tenancy in No 10 after less than two years at the top, I do find myself feeling for him. He pulled himself up by his bootstraps and reached not one but two of the highest offices in the land. So, as the wannabes circle the Cabinet table this morning, positioning for what may come next, spare a thought for a man who genuinely wanted to make a difference, but never quite mastered the art of making his case. Fair?

@Madders10 It's a pity you are just coming off an injury a fit Maddison would have been in the talk about who goes to the World Cup I believe that.

After the longest toughest 12 months of my life, the reception you spurs fans gave me yesterday made all the sacrifice & dark days absolutely worth it. Thank you so much. Back where I belong. Thank you to everyone for the support & especially my family & friends for helping me through this journey, wouldn’t have been able to do it without you🤍

@Photomusicrock Ronnie Mick wants you in LA

Rare moment for King Charles at the Kings Trust event as Sir Rod Stewart tells him of his recent state visit to the US: 'May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place!

@VirginRadioUK would you like a cup of tea Father Oh Go On

@archivetvmus71 This could of been a sketch from Python Idle in Stanley Unwin mode.

The first edition of Rutland Weekend Television was broadcast on this day in 1975. Written by Eric Idle and featuring Neil Innes, David Battley, Henry Woolf, Terence Bayler and Gwen Taylor, the series ran for a total of 14 episodes between 1975 and 1976.

@henrywinter I think comparing Arsenal with the Liverpool and Man City of Klopp and Guardiola Arsenal come up short. If Arsenal do win Guardiola will know it could have been you.Slightly different for Liverpool.

Will Arsenal be worthy champions if they get over the line? There is plenty of criticism of Arsenal's football, the set-piece arts/dark arts, the antics of Arteta in the technical area, and triumphalism of some fans such as the one with that presumptuous “champions” shirt. Throw in the usual club tribalism and that season-defining VAR decision (correct call but officials inconsistent in punishing grappling this season) and there’s plenty of antipathy towards Arsenal. But it is a truism universally acknowledged that the team that finish top first are worthy champions. It’s a marathon of 38 sprints and Arsenal have demonstrated the required ability, character and stamina. They have had their mentality questioned all season (and before). From Raya to Rice, Gabriel to Gyokeres, all of the squad have shown resilience. Battlers, not bottlers. Rice in particular embodies their will to win. It’s good to see a club keeping faith in a talented manager during the near-misses; keeping financial balance (top with fourth largest wage bill); and building a squad so that hugely capable players can come off the bench and make a big difference as Odegaard did against West Ham. And isn’t it more refreshing to see a range of champions (if they do hold on)? Five different clubs have been champions since Arsenal in 2004. It’s also important to see a club committed to their academy, creating a pathway for Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman and others, and giving them a chance to shine; it’s good for sustainability, culture and connection with fans. It’s encouraging to see a club working with fans to improve atmosphere (tifos, coach greets).  Off-field, too. All clubs have vital community departments; Arsenal in the Community is widely acknowledged as the oldest and one of the most impactful at home and abroad with around 100 full-time and part-time staff. There is much good about Arsenal. If they do hold on, Arsenal will be worthy champions on and off the pitch. #AFC

Their's something about drama from Liverpool it has somehow taken over from London.While the Sweeney and Minder go into hibernation Liverpool's latest offering is the Cage where Sheridan Smith and Michael Sorcha excel.

What a pickle Labour lose seats then MP's start to resign where's the backbone.They never said it was going to be easy.Keir Starmer came to power with a majority they inherited a vast amount of problems from the Conservatives.People are being sucked in to the new Reform Party.

@MrJamesMay I thought you were going to say it was occupied by Clarkson playing Computer generated Who Want;s to be a Millionaire

I’ve just boarded a flight from London to the US. I checked my boarding pass and headed to my seat, fully expecting it to be occupied by an entitled woman claiming to need it so she could be near her kids, giving me the essential elements of an indignant social media post. But no. The seat was empty. No entitled woman claiming to need it so she could be near her kids, giving me the essential elements of an indignant social media post. Empty. Unoccupied. I sat down. The delightful stewardess brought me a drink. Sometimes in life oh do fuck off.

@TheAdrianDurham Is that a criticism he has arguably been Man Utds best player this Season.

Arsenal & City giving us a title race while also dealing with Europe & domestic cups. Yet Bruno is Football Writers' Player of the Year despite playing less than 40 games and being part of a team that got a manager sacked in United's laziest ever season? open.spotify.com/episode/2EyvWk…

@Keir_Starmer Plain talking honesty backs against the wall now you need to produce tangible results. Still time to turn it around.

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
