Not sure if you heard it but Joe Root speaking about Shoaib Bashir on TMS after the match in much a similar vein. Go back and catch it if you can.

Incredible! The Friday afternoon pool Spezi+pint (normally a Weizen) combo has essentially become a family ritual for us!

Speed on the Pyramid Stage next year please

They are what they are now, and that’s fine. That was just so fucking cool. A hardcore band playing Sunday afternoon second stage Glastonbury! Mad.

Never thought I‘d see Turnstile playing Keep It Moving on the BBC but there you go. What a world we live in.

Yo is this about what you mentioned on the podcast with Clara?! 👀

What times we live in

Worst thing is they then use simply Sevilla as a synonym later on, like the equivalent of "Sevilla‘s manager said…" Horrendous!

Definitely need to bleach my eyes after reading the words "Real Betis Sevilla" and "Espanyol Barcelona".

I will be incredibly disappointed if I don‘t hear Connor Macnamara in this episode

Out of interest, where works in Frankfurt? Flughafen Fernbahnhof?

By which time there won't be a single cycling fan left in the UK thanks to exclusivity deals and the destruction of an entire network's broadcasting legacy! You're right: insanity.

I agree, it's a disgrace. It's also a real problem for fans of cycling (exacerbated by WBD gaining exclusive rights to Le Tour from 2026), niche motorsport (WEC particularly) and winter sports. The only logical conclusion will be that these sports to lose their UK fanbase altogether sooner or later.

Yeah very. I had never heard the term, at least not consciously, up until a few weeks ago.

The absolute best thing about this election is all the fucking nutcases joining Wagenknecht at BSW and making Die Linke a genuine consideration for many.

Exactly, and as any move by black would result in check, it’s a stalemate. Black literally cannot move.

Haha really? That doesnt surprise me. It‘s such a shame it‘s so hard to get across without a car. I‘ve heard Newhaven is a better option for foot passengers though.

If I ever needed to get to the UK super short notice (from Germany), the cheapest option would almost certainly be: get to Belgium, SNCB ticket to Tournai then Lille, SNCF regio to Calais, then bike passenger on the ferry. Lucky to have a folding bike which would be free the whole way on the train.

It’s this: www.leshuttle.com/uk-en/travel...

In my experience, ferry is better/cheaper. It‘s so much easier to travel on a ferry with a bike than as a foot passenger. You can get on way more sailings and it‘s not so much of a faff. It‘s almost worth bringing a bike just for that part.

Tyldesley looks a million dollars in the Sampdoria Christmas jumper on Christmas University Challenge (just catching up). What a bloke.

Stupidly went to a large square (Augustusplatz in Leipzig) once year and it genuinely felt like I was on the Western Front. Got a Böller to the shoulder that singed my jacket.

Germany‘s home/DIY NYE firework addiction will never stop being insane. Five dead, all under 60 and two in their 20s. I‘ll never get it.

Incredible parking

Maybe a bit of a trek, but Stourbridge?

Kids in bed, fire crackling, crisp -3 outside and a test match just starting 10,000 miles away with David Gower on comms. It genuinely doesn‘t get better than this.

Absolutely no way is that a comfortable connection to London! Especially given DB's current track record...
