The thing that has always annoyed me about chess is calling the end piece a castle. It's not a castle. It's a turret. Get it right.

It's Frenkie de Jong I feel sorry for. Guy could be the oldest and wisest man in the world and people would still be like "ah, don't mind him, he's just immature."

I had a yoghurt for breakfast at 6am and, twelve hours later, I can still taste it.

It's 3.39am and the sky is blue. Is it illegal to employ a bailiff to beat up the summer? Asking for a friend x

I am red in the face saying it (literally, I was sunburned at my cousin's wedding) but if you hire a part-time manager you get a part-time manager. 4-0 is lucky - it should and could have been eight or nine.

Decent opening ten minutes from Ireland but they've been shapeless since. Lucky to go in only 2-0 down despite goalkeeper errors for both goals.

Ireland are going to be slaughtered here.

But, hey, at least we can sleep easy knowing the grave threat of being invaded by Costa Rica has been thwarted.

NATO countries commit to spend 5% of GDP on military each year. To put that in context for the war hawks in Ireland who want us to join, that would be two and a half times our annual budget we would have to devote solely to jet fighters and tanks every year for all eternity.

I always liked Neil 'Dissa' Poynton

You could tell from Morata's face he was not confident

Timed to perfection!

Spain are unreal, they are going to dominate football again for the next ten years
