Oh Spurs. While Richarlison, Muani and Tel have been mostly toothless, Troy Parrott - who we sold for about 10p and a bag of sweets - hit two beauties for ROI against Portugal (sending Ronaldo off in the process) taking him to almost 20 goals this season already. Will we ever learn? #COYS

Great to see Sunderland flying high after so long. Regis de Bris has come a long way since The Producers. #SAFC

I asked someone Hungarian to pronounce the word for cheese, for the LOLs, and it turned it sounds like ’shite’ being said by someone with a south of Ireland accent.

Evidently Neil n Chris liked this one too, giving it to Liza M to sing on Results a year later. #TOTP

@barneyronay.bsky.social ought to know - and ought to have said - that the "young woman called Emily" walking down Trinity Road with a flag was Emily Damari, an Anglo-Israeli woman shot and dragged from her home on 7 Oct 2023, and held hostage by Palestinians from Hamas for almost two years.

I don't think I've ever *not* played it (or at least had it in the box) in DJ sets I've done!

Stuart Boam: 1948-2025 Rest in peace, Stuart Boam...

Sad news that another Topps Football Card legend has gone. Has there ever been a more Old Norse team than that mid-70s Middlesbrough side? Boam, Foggon, Spraggon, Maddren, Craggs…. you can imagine them travelling to away games on a longboat.

When the guitarist left The Smiths, effectively splitting them up, no-one - not even the pun-tastic NME subs - used Marr-gate. A missed opportunity.

The day this becomes a reality is creeping closer. Imagine Lee Anderson as minister for Digital, Media and Sport; this is the outcome.

Gaza: Hamas mobilises fighters as fears of internal violence mount Clashes have already taken place between the group and an armed clan in Gaza City.

That noise you can hear is the sound of a thousand banner-waving, keffiyeh-wearing, intifada-globalising muppets trying to find a way to blame Jews for the 20-years-and-counting government of Gaza’s continuing quest to murder its own citizens if they don’t play ball.

To be fair, those could actually be Simon's draft lyrics before the lads reined him in.

If there was ever an example of the Israeli government not being a reflection of British Jews it’s their decision to give Tommy Robinson a hero’s welcome

The fact it’s the minister for diaspora affairs makes it even more absurd, because I don’t know a single Jewish person who would think this is ok

Manchester, f***. Shaking with anger.

Already they are saying it’s β€˜payback’ for us. Or that the police response was β€˜suspiciously quick’. They’re nothing but scum. The β€˜lone wolf’ line won’t wash this time. It’ll be interesting to see his connections.

I raise you "Time" by Culture Club a year earlier (like many mentioned, partly due to the bells towards the end).
