‘One in a million’: tributes paid to Matt Beard at memorial service in Liverpool

Would listen tbh

Peacehaven: Fire at East Sussex mosque probed as 'hate crime' Video appears to show two people in balaclavas at the mosque before a large blaze spreads.

Men in balaclavas set fire to a mosque in East Sussex last night. It's only appearing on the BBC's local coverage, rather than its main national headlines, despite coming just a week after the (also under-reported) firebombing of an asylum hotel in London last week

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

You reap what you sow. Lots of work to do. Not good enough in any area of the pitch. Oh well, little break and then on we go. Up the reds.

There's a special place in hell for those - and it's not just Mone - whose first thought during a national emergency was that this it was an opportunity to get rich by looting the Treasury.

Let us not forget that the American players demanded to be paid to play, and yet they have still been utterly humiliated. Lovely, lovely stuff.

A graphic from BBC sport showing the patterns of play during Burnley v Liverpool, which clearly shows Liverpool carried the greater threat throughout.

I found it particularly bizarre that Carragher kept saying that Burnley were causing Liverpool so many problems on the counter. That simply didn't reflect reality. Increasingly it seems he commentators on a different game to that being broadcast - at least where LFC are concerned.

The Temptations - Ball of Confusion
Stevie Wonder - Livin for the City
Marvin Gaye - Inner City Blues
The Charlatans - One to Another
LCD Soundsystem - Oh Baby
Public Service Broadcasting - Lit Up
Elastica - Connection
Elbow - Station Approach

I could go on, but that's probably enough for now! 😂

The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows
The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
The Chemical Brothers - The Private Psychedelic Reel
Janelle Monae - Make me Feel
Johnny Cash - Personal Jesus
Primal Scream - Higher than the Sun
Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks
U2 (yes, U2) - Where the Streets Have no Name

Get raw with the fever on the dancefloor!

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Manchester United Football Club have been knocked out of the league cup before nearly half of the Premier League has even entered the competition.

It is just about conceivable that a tiny number of the people publicly supporting Lucy Connolly think she said something despicable but was punished too harshly for it.

But the vast majority simply want to use her case to further mainstream their aggressively racist anti-immigrant views.

This is the best bit of music writing anywhere and exactly correct.

Wow. It didn't take long to go from "I'm annoyed that a man I've never met doesn't want to play for the football team I like anymore" to Hillsborough slurs, did it?

When Bury went under, everyone agreed this must never happen again.

Six years on, and less than a week after the Football Regulator Bill was signed into law, and it's about to happen again.
