Can't believe it's been 9 years man. R.I.P the 22 lives taken at Manchester Arena. ♥️

Jimmy White: “Alex Higgins was so out of position. This was my hero. He was steaming because I knew he was drinking large vodka and oranges, but he could play drunk. There were shots in there which under pressure will never be repeated. The drunker he got, the calmer he got.”

🚨 Roy Keane on the draw vs Sunderland: "I’m looking at these players after the game, shaking hands, swapping shirts... it makes me sick. You’ve just drawn with Sunderland. Sunderland. I’ve heard people saying, 'Oh, they showed great character to get the point.' Character? Do me a favor. You’re playing for a big club, you’re on sixty, seventy thousand a week, and you’re celebrating a draw because you ran around for five minutes at the end? That’s the minimum. That’s just being a professional. I see the goalkeeper making a save he’s supposed to make, and everyone’s patting him on the back. That’s his job. That’s why he’s wearing the gloves. If he doesn't save it, he’s useless. The midfield was non-existent. Soft. No one wanted to put a tackle in because they’re worried about their social media or their hair. You’re in a war, and these lads are looking for a cuddle. I don't buy it. If I’d drawn that game, I’d be ashamed to walk through the front door, never mind doing interviews talking about 'positives.' There are no positives. You didn't win. Pack your bags and get out."

Reigniting their legacy at Heaton Park, “Fools Gold” saw The Stone Roses deliver one of their most iconic tracks, originally released as a standalone single in 1989. The performance captures the song’s hypnotic groove and enduring impact during their reunion era.

Riding their breakout year in 1996, “The Circle” saw Ocean Colour Scene deliver one of their defining singles, appearing on Moseley Shoals, released March 1996. Performed here on Top of the Pops, the track captures the band’s soulful, guitar driven sound during their rise.

Snooker Goats 🐐

Can’t quite believe the ZX Spectrum turns 44 today! 🙏 I’m even less willing to acknowledge I’m more than a decade older than it! On 23 April 1982, Sir Clive Sinclair unveiled a rubber-keyed, rainbow-striped 8-bit computer at the Churchill Hotel in London. It cost £125. It sold over five million units. It contributed significantly to the launch of the British IT industry. Around twenty thousand+ games were made for it including of course Jet Set Willy, Atic Atac and my personal fave - The Way of the Exploding Fist 🤜 💥 In the middle of an AI arms race, it’s worth remembering how simple the computing experience used to be. What was your first ZX Spectrum game?🕹️

29 years ago today, Ronnie O’Sullivan made the fastest 147 maximum break in snooker history. The Rocket completed this incredible break in 5 minutes and 8 seconds, and no one has made a faster maximum break since.

1982. World Snooker Championship Semi Final. Alex Higgins came to the table, one shot away from going out of the tournament, and with the balls in a seemingly impossible position. What followed is generally regarded as the best snooker break of all time.

The Jam Start

Did parents really just let their kids wander the neighbourhood all day with no phone and just say be home before dark?? Be honest.

It’s beautiful and touching. 😢💔 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Elliot Anderson laid flowers and a shirt in tribute to his mum, who sadly passed away this week. 🕊️🙏 We're all with you, Elliot. ❤️
