@aakashgupta Played against him a couple of years ago in an over 35s Sunday league Cup match. Could tell where Jude got some of his talent from.

Jude Bellingham's dad scored over 700 career goals. That's more than his son will probably ever score. The difference is that almost nobody watched him do it. Mark Bellingham spent 25 years as a striker in English non-league football, cycling through 20+ clubs like Stourbridge, Leamington, and Paget Rangers. 61 goals in one season. 79 in 87 games at Leamington. They called him the non-league Pelé. He did all of it while working full time as a West Midlands Police sergeant. He'd finish a match and start a night shift at 10pm. He tore his ACL twice, kept playing until 40, and scored goal number 700 on a free kick in front of a few hundred people. Then he retired from both jobs and took a harder one. When Jude turned pro, the family turned down every super-agent in football. Mark became the agent. Denise runs the day-to-day, and moved countries with Jude twice. That decision has a price tag. Commissions on a deal like Jude's €103M move to Real Madrid can run into eight figures. Mino Raiola reportedly cleared around €40M on Haaland's transfer alone. The Bellinghams kept all of it in the family, and a police sergeant sat across the table from Florentino Pérez and gave nothing away. Liverpool wanted Jude so badly they reportedly offered Mark a scouting job and a deal for his other son Jobe to sweeten the package. The family still said no and picked Madrid. Transfermarkt lists the agent for one of the most valuable footballers on Earth with a single word: "Relatives."

Hi everyone. Well, it’s now a year since Ozzy’s passing and I still can’t believe that he’s not with us. I watch him on YouTube and it feels like he’s still here with us. We always stayed in touch, almost every week or so and we’d usually talk about our ailments and then about what we’d been doing that particular week. The fans have been absolutely brilliant and the love and respect that they have shown for him has just been amazing. I’m so glad that we were able to play one final show with the original line up of Sabbath at the Back To The Beginning show in our home town of Birmingham! There will never be another Ozzy. I miss you my dear friend. Tony 🙏X

@JohnSimpsonNews What?

Argentina v England is important way beyond football. If Argentina wins tomorrow night, it’ll put real fire behind the demand for the Falklands. If England wins, that should put the lid on it — for now.

@SartorialThug Jesus thats awful attire

Obviously, I'm in the replies. Standard footballer twattery.

Think what a better country this would be if our rulers had spent their teenage years drinking and fingering, you know, like normal human beings

A history lesson for @Keir_Starmer on the Saxon king Æthelred the Unready and his humiliating reign after failing to stop Vikings in England (eerily almost exactly 1,000 years apart). Æthelred the Unready, 978–1013, was a king who believed that heavily taxing his Anglo-Saxon subjects to pay off marauding and raping Viking raiders would buy peace. It, of course, did the opposite. Far from deterring them, the payments acted as a powerful incentive: “For, through dread of his enemies, he used to drain the country of money, with which he might retard or repel their attacks…” “That tribute harassed all the English nation for many years” (William of Marmsbury, 1125) The Vikings, in their small narrow boats, returned in greater numbers, emboldened by the rich rewards for their raids, raping, and pillaging. “Once you have paid him the Dane-geld, You never get rid of the Dane.” (Rudyard Kipling, 1911) The repeated humiliations and military failures eroded Æthelred’s authority. Many of his own countrymen lost confidence in their king. Armies proved ineffective or reluctant to fight under leadership they viewed as weak and futile. Nobles began rebelling. So in 1013, when Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark launched a full invasion, much of England submitted with little resistance. Æthelred was forced to flee into exile in Normandy, and the Danish king seized the English throne. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, looking back on his reign, summarised Æthelred’s legacy (1016): “He had held his kingdom with great toil and difficulties as long as his life lasted.” Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and this story, of failed Saxon king Æthelred, is strikingly applicable to our country today.

@GeoffNorcott are you at Download festival today?? Beer after?

@nonregemesse Adolf "Adi" Dassler's son Robert "Bobby" Dassler was arguably more famous in Britain.

@thesundaysport "Perfect place to park my bike"

Just spent the thick end of an hour on my hands and knees weeding the front drive. Not one passer-by said 'While you're down there'. Not a one. This used to be a country....

@BenedictSpence Technology for travel will be more advanced by 2039. Meaning that when it does actually open, it would be inferior...

Elon Musk will have built a colony on Mars before the UK successfully manages to get a standard train from Birmingham to not-quite-central London.

HS2, what a massive crock of shit.
