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.

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.

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.

Morecambe's final pre-season friendly was supposed to be tomorrow against Lancaster City. It has now been cancelled, which means Morecambe may already have played their last game.

Obviously I never met Diogo Jota. But you sing somebody's name week in, week out in the stands, you watch them do what they do, and you develop a relationship of a kind. At least with what they stand for there.
Diogo has given us so many moments of joy. It's so so tragic.
His poor family.

Liverpool, as champions, selling their fourth choice centre back but are relaxed about bringing in a replacement because they feel they have adequate cover if the right targets aren't available? What could possibly go wrong? 🤔

Today, the Government launches plans to fast-track driverless vehicle trials in the UK.
One of the companies involved says London presents a big challenge:
“It has seven times more jaywalkers than San Francisco.”
Except… it doesn't. 🧵
