Four years since we absolutely traumatised a hotel in Swindon celebrating this goal after being at Cheltenham 🤣

🏆 GAELIC WARRIOR WINS THE BOODLES CHELTENHAM GOLD CUP! 🏆

Our middle order just hit 157 (73) in a losing cause. Fair play #T20WorldCup26

Fair play to Sri Lanka for just never ever trying to chase this down #T20WorldCup

A role reversal for me as I gave @samwesterside99 a stable tour of sorts with mating plans for mares on Golden Farm and updates on some of the racehorses I’m involved in. It includes news of Lady With The Lamp’s first mate and of a new partner in the exciting James J Braddock.

Down in a cup tie, Liam Rosenior’s “masterclass” was to wait until the final 10 mins to try and break down the best defence in the league? 🤔

@Hanstours Grand Old Team should always be the final song before Z Cars, not played for a token 30 seconds before Spirit of the Blues…

So many people have issues with the new ground, but in terms of improvements, what would you suggest to Everton?

@KettyBitch @GadgieJust Yeah was the same for us at college but a classic nonetheless 👌🏻

@samwesterside99 @GadgieJust Read it on holiday in Turkey in 2013 🤣think it was for school

Ok so maybe this is why I don’t sleep

@KettyBitch @GadgieJust The Great Gatsby an omission 😱

@GadgieJust Ones I enjoyed the most I’d say

👨‍🎨 Was really impressed with Henri Matisse down at Castlehyde today @coolmorestud

@tds122 This is the best assessment of the series I have read. Would be easy to be uber critical of Carse but, as you say, he left everything out there and then some

My Ashes player ratings (2 matches to qualify) England Zak Crawley 273 runs @ 27.30 . 3.5 out of 10 Just a couple of innings of note . The notion of a soft dismissal being just around the corner often fulfilled . IMO it's time to move on from this 6 year project Ben Duckett 202 runs @ 20.20 . 1.5 out of 10 Very disappointing series . Got 2 or 3 good balls early in the series & couldn't escape the rut . IMO he has enough credit in the bank to survive this horror show Ollie Pope 125 runs @ 20.83 . 1 out of 10 This may seem harsh but genuinely didn't think he was the right choice at 3 . Temperament or technique wise . I'm sure he'll score a lot of runs for Surrey in the summer wish him well Joe Root 400 runs @ 44.44 . 7 out of 10 Looked out of nick early in the series but as all great players do fought through . Two hundreds & although probably didn't quite hit his immense consistency , solid enough figures . Got some good ones too Harry Brook 358 runs @ 39.77 . 5.5 Out of 10 Underachieving series for Harry . A lot of starts without going on . He'll be fine , a brilliant talent - i predict he'll have a few classic Ashes series in the next few years . Urn lifter in 2027 . Jamie Smith 211 runs @ 23.44 . 2.5 out of 10 Shot selection fail . Talented lad no doubt . Don't think he's the type to technically dig in & must continue to be aggressive but at the right times . Read match situations . Not overly great behind the stumps Ben Stokes 15 wkts @ 25.13 7 out of 10 Led by example , left everything out there . Bowling figures hold up very well , below par with the bat but that 83 was memorable . Will Jacks 145 runs @ 20.71 2.5 out of 10 IMO you don't pick a batsman / part time bowler at 8 - difficult four matches for Will Gus Atkinson 6 wkts @ 47.33 4 out of 10 Thought he bowled better than the bare stats suggest . Expected a bit more with the bat . He'll bounce back in the summer Jofra Archer 9 wkts @ 27.11 . 7.5 out of 10 A good 3 games for Archer without picking up the amount of wkts he probably deserved , always a threat & our new ball attack suffered without him . Avg 25 with the bat Brydon Carse 22 wkts @ 30.31 . 5.5 out of 10 Put everything into it , at times possibly over striving at the expense of rhythm & accuracy . No one can question his commitment to the cause Josh Tongue 18 wkts @ 20.11 9 out of 10 England's player of the series . Should've played 4 tests at least . Consistently bowled the best length for conditions . Jacob Bethell 205 runs @ 51.25 9 out of 10 Should've played from the start and this is not hindsight . Vital innings in England's only win , playing in a way conditions demanded - just as he did at the SCG in a different way with a traditional Test match innings . Clever , talented batsman . Sound technique . All format star loading Australia ratings tomorrow !

Referees are scared to give decisions for Everton and actively look to give decisions against us. As we’ve always known 👍🏻

No red card tho 🤣🤣🤣

@G_mble9 @Nozza_ #AndStill

They’re always evening k/os in the depths of Winter as well

@Smigggss You getting a little syndicate together with Chris and Jojo Siwa? 🤣

We’d have won this Derby btw if Tim Howard hadn’t have hauled Maxi Rodriguez down on his way to the corner flag

Not a bad week 😁👌🏻

@vickigibbins101 You deserved it Vicki, many congratulations 👏🏻

Still this happy 24 hours later 😂 Thank you to everyone, it means a lot! 😍

As good an Everton performance for a long time that 👏🏻👏🏻 Michael Keane a colossus at the back

@tajraasi Oh I was, but that tweet was after he had won the Irish Champion and it was certainly plausible he could’ve been standing on a flat roster after that 👍🏻

@samwesterside99 Was brought up at the church gates his fee and the mares he covered, you were a long shot away from his fee I remembered and like I said he was never going to stand in a flat roster and not a hope his fee was 35k but paper never refuses ink👍

Chatting outside the church gates Sunday morning, some breeders were looking forward to 2026 foals etc.. & wondering how will the new rosters for 2026 turn out,will be there be any new additions.. Some were willing to pay 30k for lux..hmmm. Camelot a source for jumpers/cardigans!
