It's the sixth story on the BBC app. Madness.

Rodriguez will get all the plaudits here, but Manny Aparicio has put in an all-timer of a performance tonight.

There should be a rule stating each Premier League team is allowed a maximum of one player who plays with their socks rolled down.

But Everton have 4!

I'm launching an enquiry @davidrobbo.bsky.social @halifaxdave33.bsky.social

I'm torn on Hummel being the new CPL kit maker.

On the one hand, they made my favourite ever shirt: Denmark, 1986. On the other hand, they made the HFX Tides kit, which is so egregiously low-effort and phoned in that I hope the NSL sends them to the Hague.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

We're all getting on the beers/NAs post-game if we win tonight, right?

If anyone needs my ticket for tonight, let me know. I'll be there but sitting in a different area. Free of charge as I really want the stadium packed.

Two charts 28 weeks in the making. We had some
rough spots, but we were always a team to take seriously.

NEW: @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social got the home playoff game they were after. Now what will it take to beat York—and beyond that, if they manage a Wednesday victory, earn a first-ever road result in Calgary?

@fromawayshfx.bsky.social and I discuss.

New: At times, it was sloppy. It involved suffering. But @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social did what they needed to do, securing a 3-0 win over Valour FC to keep their chase for third on the table alive.

My latest for CanPL.ca.

Wanderers have scored more than in 2023. They are a win away from the same points. They've won as many games. Won more away games.. etc. etc. Yet the mood feels different, less positive.

Theories on why?
October 12, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Cheers to the 3pts. Shit streaming signal, great view.

Fond memories of Ollie Bassett telling me to shut up because I tweeted out that Zapater spent the whole match against us standing in the centre circle blowing fumes. A simpler time.

Happy retirement, big man 🫡

As good as we've ever looked in Hamilton.

Fully accept Forge will now score a scabby goal and win 2-0. But the first 20 has been exceptional.
