I once gave directions to George Ezra as I was doing the gardening and he walked past

Us signing a defender for £60m and then him not joining till the summer whilst we’re currently going through a defensive injury crisis, feels like top trolling by the Liverpool hierarchy

John Burridge would be brilliant

I’d have thought so, there can’t be any mean Chappers out there?

I went to look at buying a car at the weekend. I know I shouldn’t but I automatically trusted the sales guy simply because he looked like Chappers

Crikey Alcaraz, there’s some ice flowing through those veins of yours

Well I accidentally nearly bought this season’s very nice Como shirt thinking it was €15 and not the €110 it actually is

I won’t be happy when we draw this 5-5

Ah perfect, thanks for clarifying that for me & if it’s possible to be more than 100% right about someone you are in your description of Barton!

I just listened, crikey! I’m no legal eagle but is it liable if Barton didn’t explain why he wouldn’t leave his kids with Elton John or is the implication enough?

De Minaur lost four games in a row since getting his warning over taking too long in serving

Holy shit, he said what?!?!

Yeah definitely, this is such a good game by De Minaur

I would be up for a rule change that would let kangaroos into pelotons though

Is this all about how kangaroos have no business being in a peloton?!

Safe to say Carlos Alcaraz looks to be in the zone

I’d be scared to bits holding that book terrified I was going to damage or tear it!

Shoutout to Japan for winning the Asian U23 Cup in style. Ten goals scored in the group stage and zero conceded, only one conceded in the knockout phase and a 4-0 thumping of China in the final

Jack, Rachel and Stephen on BBC Breakfast just now & Jack talking about getting married soon

Rachel “I’m a trained celebrant”
Jack “are you really?”
Rachel “no, not really” before laughing herself silly

I love her so much 😀

Jade managing to look like Emma Raducanu, Nadine Shah and the singer from The Last Dinner Party all in one go is some achievement (plus others probably as well)
