Just found Trans World Sport on in a hotel away for work. Nostalgic.

Yep, seeyer! bsky.app/profile/davmat…

No but what a bunch of pricks

Two superb candidates in what was a very high quality contest. An exciting time for the Conservative party and for British politics more generally

28 years ago at St. James Park: Philippe Albert strides forward with purpose. Peter Schmeichel takes an extra step off his line. And Martin Tyler uncorks a glorious goalgasm in the commentary box...

We couldn’t beat any big 6 side away for 5 years till Arteta came. Now we’ve beaten Spurs away 3 seasons on the bounce and didn’t lose a big 6 fixture last season. Wild to think we used to get destroyed in these games.

@adamvoge All the very best for attempting to deal with your loss and brave of you to speak out.

Many of you know my wife and I experienced the stillbirth of our third child, Florence, in February of last year. What I haven’t shared is that this May, we lost our fourth, Juniper, under extremely similar circumstances. Late-term stillbirths are more than a parent can take.

..or Sicily?!

Anyone any thoughts on recommending/not a few days away in Sardinia..? or _possibly_ a Greek island near Myknonos, as fairly sure I'd not like Mykonos itself at all..

@CartoonBouldy Nice one. I don't think I'll _actually_ permanently be off but will train myself off the auto-Twitter-open when boarding a train or brewing a tea..

Think I might well get away from my historial mild addiction this place to escape ol' c*nty M*SK and the shitstirry racisty bits I now see more of. Shout if anyone reading this is on Threads.

@Thomas3Simon @Searchlight_mag 😅

@Searchlight_mag You communist pig.

This is where it sinks in. Your brief sits you down and says they’ve got loads of cctv and bodycam footage showing you bang at it. The sentencing starting point for violent disorder is 3 years. But you get a 30% discount for a guilty plea. It's at that moment you wish you’d never heard of "Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson…" let alone listened to him. And he's in Greece sunning himself. @uaf @AntiRacismDay "Library rioter, 69, among latest jailed over disorder" bbc.com/news/articles/…

@SazzBickler @Glinner @sanditoksvig Does it not occur to you that your "comedy heroes" might be right?

@Glinner @sanditoksvig Thank God for you Graham I’m losing comedy heroes by the bucketload! Today was Sandi and Ben Stiller, yesterday was Armando Ianucci. Jack Black and more. It’s sad.

Traitor to women and lesbians. Wants men in women's spaces and sports. Never comments on the sterilisation of gay teens in gender clinics. @sanditoksvig you and your fauxfeminist, handmaiden org can do one.

Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.

@forlornhorn2 @redview1975 @richardosefton @Centrefuter Yeah can't believe he went to a European country to meet allies at important events rather than personally stop boats on those two days.

@redview1975 @richardosefton @Centrefuter Errrrrrm🤔He should be doing his job .Getting the country back on its feet.stopping the boats,planning remigration that kind of thing👍

I don’t understand why there were people in #Southport shouting that Starmer wasn’t welcome and ‘how many more kids have to die?’ I mean I genuinely don’t understand. Can anyone enlighten me please?

This thread is a real rollercoaster

@JuliaHB1 L

Five minutes of Kamala's speech. That's all I can manage.

@jackfaulkner @FootballCliches Just making sure someone flagged him early - fine shout

@FootballCliches Roberto Martinez?

Very early days in Vieira's case, obviously, but it makes me wonder: which manager has had the longest career without anyone actually knowing, with any degree of certainty, if they're actually a good manager or not?

@KCMANC @LizTray Yeah it's really not anything at those levels.
