Ipswich signed a new striker just before the deadline (!)

@KuperSimon Ridiculous comment. He managed Middlesbrough for several seasons and by all accounts did a good job. Ditto as a Man Utd coach in harness with Kieran McKenna.

Because ex-players with little coaching experience make great coaches, especially ex-Man Utd players who played under Ferguson like Keane, Gary Neville, Stam, Solskjaer, Van Nistelrooy etc. I know it's just a 4-month caretaking job, but bizarre to see this level of stupidity

If you thought 2025 was bad - coming on June 1 (audiobook) @ChuArchives @ChurchillCentre @IkeLibrary @ColdWarPod @Coldwar #Hbomb

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.

Trump and Putin on Ukraine has at this stage all the hallmarks of the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact. A blameless European nation cast to the winds. ⁦@Molotovribbent2⁩ #sellout #ukraine #dictator images.app.goo.gl/H479CSXdYgv2Tc…

Coming soon as an audio book - should make those M62 and A19 journeys more interesting! @CloughandTaylor @LUFC @dcfcofficial #greatmanagers #seventies

Brilliant day in around @TheHomeofGolf with @experience_golf ..great history and some decent play! #fife #TomMorris #Castle Course

@rogermosey Agree with the first two (especially American Fiction) - couldn’t get on with the third. The Holdovers and Oppenheimer for me…

Before we find out what actually won at the #BAFTAs, a word for three movies I preferred to the official Top 5: Past Lives, American Fiction and All of Us Strangers.

@rogermosey This endless promoting by the BBC of its own programmes is getting tiresome. A. Stop wasting time with this on a news programme and B. Find some original arts/news stories that don’t involve the Oscars or Traitors.

The BBC News at Six is asking the big question of journalism: why is Traitors such a hit for the BBC? Soon we can tune into the One Show where the special guest is Claudia Winkelman. Oh, and the BBC News website has a feature on her fashion secrets. bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

Always a huge pleasure chatting to @Connellybooks about #BoschLegacy #LincolnLawyer & his brilliant new Haller-Bosch thriller #ResurrectionWalk (via @orion_crime in UK) for #ExpressFeatures. Props to @madison_lintz @DeniseGsanchez @rulfomanuel & @welliver_titus Thanks Michael!

A great interviewer yes, but Parky was also one of the wittiest, finest sports writers ever. Such a charming, generous man, as I discovered ten years ago when I interviewed him on stage @TheatreRoyalBSE ten years ago #michaelparkinson #barnsley #masterinterviewer

@AmandaPCraig Great proprietor, lovely bookshop

Chagford’s lovely, brilliantly curated indy bookshop Astor’s now has a signed copy of The Lie Of The Land among many many friends’ books….

@rogermosey @j_amesmarriott Just plain wrong in the case of Oppenheimer. Three hours of utterly absorbing, compelling cinema. People’s attention spans - including critics - seem shorter these. They’ve watching too many 45-min episode streaming dramas.

I particularly agree with @j_amesmarriott about tiresomely rambling podcasts. It’s my old radio producer instinct: almost everything is better if it’s properly edited.

@AmandaPCraig Lawrence retrospectively, Gandhi when it came out. Yes I’m well over 45. Perhaps attention spans are shorter these days?

@hermir10 When did you watch those? How old were you? More 45+ cinema goers than under 45 ( I believe).

I survived the Barbie-Oppenheimer double-bill and I don’t recommend it theguardian.com/film/2023/jul/…
