@steven67hartley I do find this false front quite sad. I wonder when this great broadcasting institution eventually dies will anyone own up to their part in its demise or merely smile and pretend everything they did was marvellous.

I wonder why Football Focus was cancelled. Two women presenting a TV programme about men's football...🤔

@baizewatch Also, Ronnie is incredibly watchable. Higgins isn't.

🎙️"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙘𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮.." In 1996 Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins met at the Crucible for the first time in a memorable match. This evening, thirty years on, they go again. In my opinion the two best two of all time.

@For_Film_Fans I think it is easy to say now, but the move to turn brownfield sites into housing has been disastrous. All those old factories should have been modernised & remained as work places, with industry being supported through government subsidy.When those sites go,they never come back.

It’s 1982 and the late great BOB HOSKINS takes Barry Norman along London’s South Bank and makes clear his feelings about the avaricious property developers who were about to swallow whole almost the entire area. I miss Bob.

@graceyldn I think the song is decent but not sure the video does it justice.

If you thought 2026 couldn’t get any worse, in full Nick Knowles midlife-crisis style, Damien Lewis has decided to release an album.

@JamesMelville I was there& it was an amazing night.Hearing All The Young Dudes with Bowie on sax & backing vocals was my personal highlight.Mick Ronson was playing guitar & I was hoping to hear Ziggy Stardust but it didn't happen.Liza Minnelli also got a massive cheer for We Are The Champions.

April 20, 1992: George Michael performed at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium, London. His performance of "Somebody to Love" with Queen is regarded by many as one of the greatest live performances of a song. He absolutely nailed it.

@ItaFootPod I know it's shameful. But I'd still take it.

@AnetteRombout Do you ever pop over to Molise?

12 years ago I walked into my boss’s office, 54 years old, and resigned the job I loved a lot. Me and my husband had just bought our house in Abruzzo, Italy 🇮🇹 and after having spent a few weekends there we realised that we didn’t want to leave. So we both quitted our jobs and started a journey into the unknown. What a lifestyle, what a change of perspective and not one minute of regret. Family, friends, our dog Ruby, a good gym, a lot of walking, running and reading, the vegetable garden, cooking, nice restaurants and the never ending process of trying to beat the market keeps us fresh. I am so grateful that I dared and that we took the chance.

@JamesMelville Spy is top, by a long way. Majesty's is second with the much underrated Lazenby. Third is probably Golden Gun, with best ending in the series.

I’m my opinion, the greatest James Bond movie is Skyfall. It took the franchise into deeper and darker dimensions. What do you think is the greatest James Bond film ever made?

@Bonetti I'd take it.

I hope this isn’t even minimally considered. We do not have a divine right to be at the World Cup just because of our history. If it were to happen, this would be one of the biggest embarrassments for the sport

@DeadlineDayLive Sarri for full time coach. Now!

🚨 Italy interim boss Silvio Baldini is set to introduce MAJOR reforms ahead of the June international break against Luxembourg and Greece. 👀🇮🇹 ➜ NO more individual rooms. ➜ Cell phones BANNED. ➜ Strict breakfast schedules — punctuality required. ➜ Daily weigh-ins implemented.

@kevinhatchard Mini tournament with highest ranked Asian, Euro, African and South American teams in straight knockout.

Difficult to justify including Italy and not any of the other European nations that lost playoff finals, but above all, surely it should be an Asian team if Iran don’t play? (That’s before you even get to the fact that Trump shouldn’t have any input)

@ItaFootPod Been saying this for years. We play 4-4-2 against Bosnia and we walk that game.

The 3-5-2 is destroying Italian talent ❌ 🚨 Don’t forget to check the full video: youtu.be/5b2jSnmWWug?si…

@jonawils Rossi was a much better player pre ban, & the star of WC 78, but just like Ali's ban in 1967, he seemed to be able to compensate on his return, & what he lost in youth, he made up in guile & experience. His positioning in the KO games in 1982 was amazing. Right spot, every time.

Paolo Rossi, his ban and his World Cup redemption. World Cup Wednesdays reaches 1982. #italy #worldcup #rossi Listen to the full episode by signing up to It Was What It Was’s Patreon page now.

@FritzGschweidl I was there. A draw despite Germany having a man sent off. When Zola missed a penalty, I nearly fainted!

Roberto Donadoni vs Germany Euro 1996 still cooking

@juventusfcen We still didn't win the cup!

Who can name the scorer of this great volley? 🤔🧐 #GoaloftheDay

@ItaFootPod Easy solution. Top rated Euro, South American, Asian and African side in mini tournament.

@Telegraph Watching yesterday, I've never seen so many low rent individuals in my life. We really need to make sure that MPs are the best of the best. They are clearly anything but.

The front page of today's Daily Telegraph: 'I know many MPs will find these facts to be incredible' #TomorrowsPapersToday

@LeeHarris This is wrong.

🚨ABSOLUTE SCENES IN PARLIAMENT!! Far-left Independent MP Zarah Sultana says Keir Starmer is "gaslighting the nation" and a "BARE FACED LIAR". She is ordered to leave and she REFUSES, so is *immediately* suspended from the house. Lindsay Hoyle LOSES IT! 👀

@sid_lambert Our Maradona.

It’s been 33 years since this sublime Seeya Later at San Siro. Roberto Baggio buries Billy Costacurta, bursts ahead of Baresi, then rounds Rossi as Juve win at Milan. The Divine Ponytail. What sight to behold.

@Italy_Focus Like I've said before. We have the players. I don't buy this nonsense about a lack of quality. The coaching and team management has been poor.

He couldn’t do this a couple weeks ago… After the international break all of a sudden he can score again.
