@tonymc39 @itvfootball If Hello Magazine FC ever get into a major football tournament, Sam Matterface is your man.

After this World Cup is over @itvfootball needs to urgently review whether Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon should be their senior football commentary duo. To many watching it defies explanation #FRASPA

@snellyradio BBC Radio Merseyside Sports team could show this current lot a thing or two

No summarises. No panel. No experts. They let the pictures tell the story and enhanced with their knowledge and passion. They gave us some of the best commentary moments too. Keeping it simple 👌

@snellyradio Absolutely Tony.

@IanProwse @MOJOmagazine It seems like it only takes about 40 years of delivering fabulous live shows the length and breadth of this country to become an overnight sensation!

Now the biggest music mag in the UK, @MOJOmagazine has come steaming in with a fabulous ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review as well👊😊 No Names has now officially got the best reviews of my career 🥳 Order vinyl or CD here and you’ll have it in 48 hours: Amsterdam-music.com

@MacaulayHQ @SamWallaceTel Sam. John Stones is a competent CB.

@SamWallaceTel An absolute awful and terrible take. Nearly cost us the game yesterday.

Two World Cup semi-finals; two Euros finals. John Stones has been at the heart of England’s post-2016 revival. Always crucial at tournaments. England’s greatest centre-back since Bobby Moore telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@okeh_suedehead @Im_RobM Football doesn't benefit from the poor level of presenters, pundits and commentators. Sam Matterface and Dixon are so bad. Add to that ITVs presentation team. Awful

@Im_RobM I have said that on numerous occasions. When football was better. No Sky, no Var, no Shills, no Agents. A time when football tribes went to War.

Football before social media & online "journalists" was class. I remember how buzzing I was as a kid finding out on holiday that #NUFC were signing Kluivert from the back of a paper the day after it was published here. Take me back to the days when Fab Romano wouldn't be a thing.

@The_Mighty_Mojo Mo. Thankyou for asking a really good question. Sadly some of the other journalists fell way short today.

An impressive debut from Andoni Iraola as Liverpool head coach. No grand proclamations, no questions dodged. Just an honest assessment of the job ahead. Some interesting thoughts on squad size, which I will delve deeper into on the press conference review later today: #lfc

@IanProwse I'm really enjoying No Names. Thankyou for including the lyrics too. I found myself totally immersed as I listened and poured over every line. Eg. In Mo's Wheel the line ...' So he pawned the accent..' It cuts right through. Thankyou so very much

Mark from The Levellers is our special guest this year. Can’t wait to get the full horn section on our new songs! 🎷🎺🎺 Gonna be the best knees up yet ❤️👊💚💙 BOOK HERE: ticketmaster.co.uk/ian-prowse-liv…

@IanProwse Last years knees up was so good I got a sore chin!

@robertwlk What a coincidence Robert. Only yesterday I put on some Lynx deodrant then went out for a meal with a girl. Well it did say best before date on the can!

Do Lynx helicopters smell nice?

@robertwlk That's inflation for you

Advice needed please! I'm on holiday and I can't get my ring off. Suggestions welcome since everyone at the pool is laughing at me.

@robertwlk Thats high praise indeed!

@basarath Afternoon Barry, my driving is so good my license was endorsed by the police

So excited to be nominated for the "Worst Reverse Parking of the Year" award. Learnt to drive 38 years ago. Never looked back.

@IanProwse You're having a laugh aren't you. I'm playing it right now and I'm telling you everyone is a gem.

What’s your fav 3 songs from the new LP? It’ll help me decide set lists 😊 bfan.link/no-names-1

@BallerTalk0 @BelRedDevils Trump has gone for his classic 3-3-3-3-3 formation

@nw_nicholas Jury Duty. They don't get paid but they do get expenses. £5 million anyone!

I think a lot more financial scandal will come out about Farage & he'll pull out of the Clacton by-election. What will his excuse be? Best answer will be sold.

@MartinSLewis Hi Martin. How big of an asset is Student debt to the Government?

STUDENT LOAN NEWS: The Treasury Committee of MPs has put out its report into student loans. Here's my view:- I’ve long condemned the Chancellor’s planned freeze of the student loan repayment threshold next April as immoral and a breach of natural justice. So today is an important moment, as the cross-party Treasury Committee of MPs echoes this language in calling out a “moral obligation” for this to be reversed. Changing terms for future students is a political choice, but that’s not what is planned next year. Freezing the threshold on existing Plan 2 loans effectively increases the amount those with those loans must repay each year. It is a retrospective, one-sided contractual change that would not be allowed in almost any other circumstance or sector. Worse, those hit often signed these contracts while just 18, with little or no explanation of what they were getting into. This has to stop, and never be allowed again. That’s why one of the Committee’s most important proposals is that the Government should effectively be bound by the same Consumer Duty for student loans as a commercial lender, backed by proper fairness rules. Though it is only taking about student loan promotions, I think it should be for all student loan behaviour. I have been pushing for this for over a decade. In 2016 we even got Wes Streeting, then a new MP, to propose FCA regulation of student loans and place restrictions on negative changes as a parliamentary amendment. It was rejected. Had that protection been in place, it could have stopped successive governments tinkering with the system, resulting in a horrific degradation of the original terms. I hope this report, feeding into a new administration, means there is now a realistic chance of stopping the planned freeze and any future freezes. Yet let’s be clear: that alone will not fix the Plan 2 student loan crisis - it’ll just stop it getting even worse. The report is titled "Student loans: broken and unfair?". There is no need for the question mark. The repayment threshold should be many thousands of pounds higher, interest should be reduced, maintenance thresholds need uprating, and the whole system, including the way it is communicated, needs a fundamental reset. Here is the report: committees.parliament.uk/committee/158/… Here is the MSE submission to the report: committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc…

@henrywinter Henri. Ordinarily if a team fields an ineligible player, the offending team automatically forfeits the match as a 3–0 defeat. According to Article 19 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and standard competition rules, FIFA enforces strict penalties to protect tournament integrity

The Balogun decision is one of the biggest own goals by organisers I’ve seen in the 10 World Cups I’ve covered.

@henrywinter Its not right. The Belgium FA will have their lawyers all over this I'm sure
