*goes dewy-eyed*

A club statement from Blackpool saying Steve Bruce has been sacked along with coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence. Stephen Dobbie and Steve Banks will take temporary charge.

You don’t have to be called Steve or Stephen to work at Blackpool, but it does help.

There's a repeated bit in Coronation Street where a new character (bad and snobby) asks what wines they do at the pub, and they say, triumphantly, "Red or white"

I'm not a wine guy, but surely even a classic working class pub sells a few different wines?

Frankie Lamps complaining that he hasn't got the squad depth to play against...checks article...Sheffield Wednesday. #swfc

Signs on a sports centre window, including the terms listed in the tweet.

The modern pentathlon. Swimm, stepp, jogg, hik, runn.

And you think to yourself,

The question writers on Tenable have basically one job, and that's to think of a list then put it in alphabetical order, and they can't even do the latter correctly (they have put songs starting 'The' under T)

There's criticism in #snooker of the Triple Crown's status. But I'm not having "ITV event" as a category.

Nobody talks about "The Triple Crown and also the Welsh Open" - the BBC events.

Presumably the talent scout from Saudi went to the Fringe, saw all the Jimeoin posters and assumed he was a really big name.

(P.S. do not mistake this for me outing myself as a Golf Guy)

BBC Ryder Cup header, with a PNG of the score

BBC live text of the four matches' scores in plain text.

Given the various snazzy graphics BBC Sport usually has, I find it weird that their Ryder Cup coverage simply utilises (a) a PNG image of the team score and (b) plain text of the individual match scores.

Ah yes, that's when I would sack a manager: Saturday morning, a full week after the previous match.

Why did I read the American-centric replies to this?

My only concern remains the processing issue due to them being so keen on having both genders in the same game

I really think the option to move (staff) jobs between the genders is quite a small thing to justify simulating 000s of extra games a week, etc

Thanks for that. I missed SI's update and it's great to read something so detailed (from someone who actually knows women's football [I refuse to use the term WoSo])

I do think any fuss about it will die down quickly - you don't hear anything about the (admittedly token) players on FIFA

Women’s football – What to expect on FM26 In 2021, Sports Interactive announced that they were planning to incorporate women's football into the Football Manager series. After four years of extensive research and development, those plans will finally become reality on Football Manager 26. Last week saw SI reveal the first major details of what we can expect from women's football on FM26, including which leagues will be playable.

NEW #FM26 BLOG POST!

My thoughts on the addition of women's football to FM26, and what we can expect from the new game.

Any reposts appreciated.

No doubt this week's "Back to school"-themed #GBBO will be cliché 1970s school dinners.

Hoping they have some school food of my era - potato smiley faces and turkey dinosaurs.

Thanks to the Eurosport/TNT price gouge, I've basically seen no snooker until this past weekend, lovely to have it back.

Great to have the British Open this week too, the random draw means there's a great match to watch in every session #snooker

My children will both go on to have fine careers as snooker referees, judging by the speed their heads turn round when they hear a bag of sweets being rustled.

Got to admire Chelsea seeing the pitch playing like peanut butter and deciding to persist with intricate passing out from the back.

It doesn't seem beyond the wit of man for Bluesky to have the option to follow someone but not see their reposts.

People assume that Lineker won that presenter award because of his welcome political intervention. But it's just as likely that Ant & Dec have tarnished their brand with the soulless Santander adverts.

The "He's already dead" meme feels - if anything - a bit tepid for this shellacking

Bloody hell, South Africa playing like it's the death overs of a semi final

Kids and grown-ups love it so,
Toast with sauce and haricot

Hans Moleman on the phone. Panel 1: "I need a US ambassador who is a good at cosying up to sex pests". Panel 2: "No, that's too cosy"

Went to see Mae in Edinburgh roughly a decade ago, and they saw me outside beforehand having a migraine. Offered to get me paracetamol and checked on me during the show, lovely person.

Talking to my mum about #GBBO, "No, the other guy with the upsetting moustache who has baked a cat biscuit"
