Excellent piece by @jonathanhCNN on Toprak's adaptation to MotoGP so far and just how far he can go. Great to see bike racing featuring on CNN & well worth a read! edition.cnn.com/2026/04/24/spo…

@NeilMorrison87 You're far too kind, mate. Cheers!

Brave, straightforward reporting from @fpleitgenCNN in Tehran. No armchair in sight.

@FBAwayDays As someone who is married to a girl from that part of Italy, I tell you now that not only should you try it, you will bloody love it. But I do feel sorry for the octopus (polpo).

Quite possibly the strangest bit of food I’ve ever seen at a footy game. 😲 At SSC Bari in the Italian 2nd division, you can get an octopus sandwich. 🐙 At €8.00 (£6.60), would you try it? 🤔

@NFFC As long as it doesn’t make us play like Liverpool :)

We will wear red shorts for tomorrow’s Europa League match against Malmö, replicating the look worn in the historic 1979 European Cup final. ❤️

@EveT1991 Get well soon, Eve!

I can't 😴 I have vomited 🤢 (been sick) 3x & my tummy is in alot of pain & I keep feeling like Im going to be sick. I don't want to miss the gym but I will have to & I can't miss Sat I have a Corrie tour booked in MCR. Please keep your fingers🤞I will be better for Fri & Sat.

Awful, awful news about Nick Mangold. I interviewed him once in the locker room after the Jets beat the Dolphins at Wembley, he was an absolute gentleman, so polite and patient. Incredibly sad. RIP. #NYJets

@EveT1991 Congratulations, Eve! Great work!

I’m so 👏 of myself! 🏃‍♀️ I ran a 10K today & got a new PB 1:11:25 & 1:11:21 on my smart watch. Thinking about doing a Half marathon next year & aiming for marathon b4 I turn 40 in 5yrs & 9 months. I'll still train my 🦵s & lose wt to get faster. #10krace #running #personalbest

@mattforde @absoluteradio @TENAMen_ Matt, you are a legend for so many reasons, but the way you’ve documented your situation with such openness is incredibly inspiring. Hopefully by the time you’re back the Tricky Trees will be more of a soothing balm to the ‘nads. Good luck!

I won’t be on @absoluteradio for a few weeks as I’m having an operation on Thursday that will blow your mind. As a result of the life-saving spinal surgery I had two years ago, the nerves to my bladder and bowel were cut. This has left me with a stoma for solids and the need to self catheterise to pee. It also left me with something called stress incontinence. Lots of women experience it after childbirth. Whenever I laugh, cough or sneeze, piss comes out. And I’m a ticklish asthmatic with hay fever. I’m sodden. It’s costing me a fortune in Tena pants. So I’m having an artificial urinary sphincter implanted. This thing is GENIUS. It’s like a lassoo, which will wrap around my pee pipe and tighten it so that I don’t leak anymore. However, I’ll still need to catheterise in order to empty my bladder. So in order to loosen the lassoo, I press a button which deflates it and allows me to get a catheter down there. But where is this button going to go? In between my balls. Here are some pictures of it. On the left is the entire device. The middle photo shows the reservoir on the left. That will sit behind my abdominal wall. On the right is the lassoo (known as the cuff). That will wrap around the pipe and inflate with fluid to tighten it. The final photo shows the button. That will sit in between my balls. Inside the bag. When it’s time to pee, I press that. (Once I can pin it down. It’s going to be like finding a penny in a bag of mozzarella). The button then deflates the cuffs by moving the liquid to the reservoir. Afterwards, the cuff will reinflate with water and tighten up again. So I’ll be off for a bit while I heal. The nurse told me ‘for 8 weeks it’ll feel like someone has smashed you in the balls with a hammer’. And she hadn’t seen Forest this season.

@mattforde @elliemolloson 👏

Someone give @elliemolloson her own show.

The Afghan women’s football team hasn’t been able to play since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Now, FIFA has announced the Afghan refugee squad. This is the story about the players' fight for recognition and love for the game. w/ @AmandaDCNN edition.cnn.com/2025/10/02/spo…

Fair to say he's aged a bit better than I have since his first title...

It's not easy to get one-on-one time with Marc Marquez these days, but had the next best thing earlier this week with a somewhat 'exclusive' (ish) roundtable - here's what we found out #MotoGP #mm93 #ducati : cnn.com/2025/10/02/spo…

Welcome to the biggest party in motorsport... just don't plan on getting any sleep. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/10/tra…

Really cool piece by @jonathanhCNN about the Mugello vibe and why MotoGP is better than F1. And the story is on a major mainstream site 😎😎 edition.cnn.com/2025/09/10/tra…

A bit of a Latergram here, but a lot of love has gone into this one - an ode to #Mugello #motogp cnn.com/2025/09/10/tra…

@matoxley Wild, just wild.

@jonathanhCNN Imagine living your life surrounded by art stolen during the Holocaust by your Nazi dad. Some people are so fucked up

The past is never dead, it's not even past.” Amazing story

@paulmorley19 @TalkCPFC @HLTCO Well said.

Dear @TalkCPFC & @HLTCO - #NFFC fan here coming to you in peace. I, like many other Forest fans were made up for #CPFC winning the Cup and doing a number on one of the so called ‘big 6’ who seem to operate under different rules to the rest of us. In the same way you can’t control who invests money and holds shares in your club and when they read their emails, I/we (Forest fans collectively) similarly can’t control who our ownership decides to do transfer dealings with, or who they choose to write letters to and about what. So us all being at loggerheads is pointless. IF it transpires after your CAS appeal that, (as it currently appears is the case), Parish & Co dropped the ball on this MCO rules situation, and that prevents you guys from being permitted to play in the Europa League, then that is genuinely unfortunate for all associated with your club. For what it’s worth, the rules seem somewhat farcical in that by the time the Europa League kicks off in earnest, as I understand it, Textor won’t be involved with either Palace or Lyon, so we ABSOLUTELY get your frustrations in that regard. I think almost all of us would agree that gaining entry to elite competitions should be based on sporting merit rather than administrative upkeep. However, as we all know (particularly at Forest from our own recent experiences), football is, unfortunately, no longer as simple as that. What I think narks us a little bit is that we (not as fans) but as a club seem to be being used as a scapegoat by your Chairman for his/his ownership group’s administrative failings. Say what you like about our owner (he has pretty thick skin by all accounts so I’m sure he’ll not mind too much), but the steps he took regarding his shares in Forest and the blind trust business and when he did or didn’t do it, was absolutely nothing to do with Palace and their participation (or not) in any competition. It is widely known that extensions could be sought on this arbitrary March 1st deadline for making the necessary arrangements to comply with MCO rules. He chose to do that, Parish didn’t. To suggest you/Parish ‘broke the rules’ and we didn’t is I think unfair and inaccurate. It’s obvious that Palace have not deliberately sought to gain any advantage from their lack of action. The simple truth is that Parish & Co fell asleep at the wheel and have seemingly veered off the road to Europa as a result. We, by chance, just happened to be in the car behind you. That is all. Wishing you all the very best for the season ahead. Whichever European competition you end up in. I know for certain that we’ll have a ball regardless!

@CalcioEngland Great photos

🤩 It was a brilliant night at the City Ground last night for Forest v #Fiorentina - I had no idea that soulful stadiums like this still existed in the Premier League, what a place! 🧵 Photo drop from last night’s visit… #NFFC #groundhopping #COYR #ForestFiorentina #ForzaViola
