What Chansiri has done to Sheffield Wednesday is an absolute disgrace.

Plaid Cymru wins Caerphilly by-election as Labour loses seat for first time ever Reform UK comes second in the race to represent Caerphilly in the Welsh Parliament - with Labour a distant third.

This should act as a massive wake-up call to Labour, but it won’t. Too arrogant, too stubborn. Their only plan will be to go more to the right.

Aston Villa losing to Go Ahead Eagles was certainly a surprise but Crystal Palace losing at home to AEK Larnaca is insane.

Dismal performance from Rangers tonight. They look so low on confidence. Röhl has a lot of work to do.

You’ve kinda got to be impressed with the player’s belief that nobody will spot what he’s about to do 😆

I’ve watched this three times now and I’m still laughing

Noel Edmonds and Mr. Blobby. It’s what the nation needs.

Thoroughly depressing news regarding Ashgate Hospice. These cuts can’t be allowed to happen.

What the fucking fuck?

Mjällby making minor miracles in an extraordinary Swedish football story The former third-tier club with no financial muscle from a remote municipality of 14,000 inhabitants are leading the country’s top flight

Mjällby have just won the Swedish league with three games left - and they haven’t simply won it, they’ve absolutely ripped it up. No asterisks or sugar daddies here, just the best story European club football will produce all year. From August, this is their tale: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Voluntary role, but great for exposure and boosting your CV…

A vacancy for a sports podcast producer in the US, with a salary of $75-85k (£56-63k). How much do you imagine that same job would pay in the UK? 🤔

Naive Ange Postecoglou could be the least effective Premier League manager ever | Barney Ronay At no stage did the Australian coach seem to understand the assignment he had been given at Nottingham Forest

Really good article on Ange Postecoglou. Could still have gone a lot further on his deeply unpleasant attitude towards journalists. Won’t miss him in the slightest.

www.theguardian.com/football/202...

… I covered one of Ange’s early Spurs pressers and was impressed by him. But then results started to turn and so did he. Clearly a bad loser who lacks any sense of self-criticism. Was never his fault and we were dummies for questioning him. It’s fair that is called out in analysis of his time here.

Season 3 / Episode 20

"Oh, Homer, you're as smart as you are handsome."

"Hey!"

Can’t remember who said it on here but such a good idea: every Arsenal game should just involve them taking 10 corners: if they score one they win and if they don’t they lose. Cut out all the other completely irrelevant stuff.

That’s Ange done at Forest, isn’t it? Disastrous appointment.

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.

Robert Jenrick @RobertJenrick Follow Something has fundamentally changed in Birmingham. And Britain, too, has changed with it. Consider football: the rough and tumble of our national game is nothing new for the West Midlands. Growing up in the eighties, my Dad took me to more than a few matches at Villa Park in the away end. The language, chants, and antics were - at times - less than well-mannered. But it was largely good-natured fun. Where there was violence, the police put a quick but firm end to it. Such was the rhythm of British life. The same men and women worked together all week, turning up and supporting different teams on a Saturday.

Democracy cannot survive if people like Jenrick, who is prepared to lie continually and without compunction, can prosper.

Football in the 80s was frequently violent and, especially in the first part of the decade, awash with racism. These were not halcyon days, especially for non-white Britons.

BBC Sport’s shift to click bait has been depressing to watch in real time, not least as it’s clearly not what so many of their staff are about

Adrian Bott @Cavalorn 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. 9:18 16 Oct 15

Happy 10th birthday to the most resonant political tweet of all time.

One day, people will get wise to right-wing populism, but seemingly not yet.
