Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Exchanging shirts at half-time? What's that all about? #AlbEng #WCQ #AlbvEng #football #gamesgone #England

Kinda feels like the momentum from the Wrexham game has continued today. Real attacking intent from #Pompey. Great goal from Devlin. I'll take a deflection every time!

Feel #Jesus returning is a much bigger story than downpage in #BBCSport if I am honest.

#JohnColtrane is such a salve for the soul in these tortuous times.

There are not many dead musicians whom I would have craved to see live, Bob Marley is one. Miles Davis another and Billie Holliday too. But Coltrane is #supreme. What pure emotional joy his #jazz represents.

Thanks #Amazon.

Parcel delivered from a friend.
Contained a book.
No knock.
No ring of the doorbell.
No card through the door.
Left outside by recycling bin.
Totally soaked in rainstorm.
Found it by chance this a few moments ago.

How does the 2nd #coventry goal stand? Surely the assist directly follows a blatant push? #PFCvCov #Pompey #Championship

Am I going mad or have #Leicester changed shirts at half time for ones with a sponsor? #Pompey #LFCvPFC #Championship #PUP

Time to turn it up #loud for #Kiss #Alive in memory of #AceFrehley.

Plenty of highlights in the Kiss back catalogue but Alive was my entry point and despite studio overdubs and all that it still rocks hard and I like it as much now as I did 40 years ago. #RIP

Cannot understand why the Beeb are so desperate to employ Rooney. He's got a column on the web, a podcast and bored punter slots on #Motd. He makes Shearer sound like a consumate professional.

He's worse in the media than as a manager. And I'd never have thought that possible after Birmingham.

Could #Pompey be any more Pompey than this? Abject and lacking quality v second bottom Sheff Wed a couple of games back. Conceding 2 sloppy goals v Watford midweek. And now, beating the form side of the division. It's never boring at #FrattonPark #PUP

Sad to hear Danny Thompson has died. I'll be spinning John Martyn's magnum opus Solid Air later on which Danny played in tribute.

If you see this, post a concert pic of your own.

I'll take a point.

Things I learned:
1 Our keepers need to be told to stay in their areas
2 Killip needs kicking lessons
3 Segecic needs passing lessons
4 Chaplin needs to continue to start. He'll only get better with more awareness of his new teammates
5 Our press can be very effective

Amazing how much better a #Twenty20 match is when it's not a 5-over farce!

One assumes they see the irony in this?

I would assume* hope that if I install the software it inevitably want me to buy that I would no longer see their own ads?

*Not really assuming this, of course.

What on earth is the point of a 5-over #cricket match? Aside from not wanting to refund the paying crowd, of course. Farcical. #engvsa #20twenty

Hope this does not mean more interest for Murphy from Leicester. #Pompey #PFC #PUP

[From BBC]
Leicester winger ⁠⁠⁠Bilal El Khannouss is likely to join Stuttgart on loan from the Foxes. The 21-year-old had been attracting interest from Crystal Palace but is now due to move to the Bundesliga.

I was unfair of Tom Brady to knock Wayne Rooney’s work ethic.

He should have bemoaned his absolute lack of management prowess instead.

I see after Derby, Brum and Plymouth have all had a go he is now shilling a pod on the BBC. He may have found his level at last.

Well that was a shambles. Disappointed with the team selection. And I am not sure even I can roll out the old "now we can concentrate on the league" excuse after just the 2nd game of the season. Poor. We need momentum ahead of Norwich and this ain't it.

I guess we're learning just how deep (shallow) the squad is right now.

So pleased it didn't take #Pompey as long to register their first win of the season as it did last year!

Big 3️⃣ points today. #pup
